Show Off and Discuss Your Red Sea Reefer Series

That's what I was thinking. I have the room in my basement but I doubt mine will ever look that slick. :/

Just have the stand space

The basement is a love/hate relationship. I love it until my electric bill shows up.

You people and your super neat equipment mounting make me sick! (actually just make me feel messy) Looking good!

I feel the same. I've tried a couple of times now, working on the third time, and I just can't get it to look like any of these cool set ups. Congrats to the people who make these tanks look so great.

My reefer 450 sump starting leaking a year back. Finally got it all up and running with a trigger timeline sump, an aquauv 57 UV, and a Syncra ADV 9 pump that is handling the 9 PVC turns easily! Attaching some pics here. Love this new sump setup...

Custom sump is the way to go IMO.

Talked to Red Sea. They are recommending that I drain the tank, inspect all the screws and replace the cam locks.

Sigh. I can't say I'm particularly happy about this. I just got my frags all mounted! I guess I will go grab two 40 breeders to house the livestock. This is going to be a ton of work. I think I regret going with a pre-fab stand at this point. I'm positive I'll wind up losing quite a few dollars in frags. :/

Dude... that sucks... I really have not been impressed with red sea at all... and everyone dont freak on me... its just my opinion and experience with them... thats a boatload of cash to pay to get the customer service and advice they give... I went in thinking I was gonna be treated like I bought a benz, but I came out feeling like I got a Ford... There aint nothing wrong with Ford... hahahha... I love my F150, but the experience just wasnt there for me... I refuse to pay that type of money again on a red sea tank when their just seems things are lacking in certain areas... dont get all crazy on me please... just soeaking my mind

Yeah, not fun. I'm going to go buy two 40Breeders and throw them on a home depot stand. Going to be a ton of work, but I'm mostly worried about the 2k in coral I have in there.
They are sending me the hardware pack so I can replace any cams or screws as needed. Hopefully that pack get's to me pretty fast. Ideally I'd like to only have the temp tanks up for a few days. Getting people together to help me move the tank off and on the stand again is going to be fun.

Why don’t you get a big 100gallon plastic tub basically move it all down to that and you can run your skimmer on it with an egg crate stand and your circulation pumps. Splitting two systems isn’t going to be easy especially if you have something go wrong and can’t put it back together. The tub can be life support for medium term.

hmm, good suggestion, I'd hope I can only be down for a week so the tub might work out fine. I'll just have to figure out where to buy one.

Look for farm supply store. They are used for cattle and horses often.

Even the bathtub if it comes down to it... hahahah! Sorry, known a few dudes do that in an emergency
