Tenurepro's Redsea Reefer 250

[tenurepro]

Congratulations on 2 years of success... Well mostly success! Keep it up!

Thanks man... more like 2 years of ups and downs

 

[tenurepro]

So I have started a new build and video series, in the All in one section; but fear not! Plan to continue with the Redsea reefer 250...

I purchased this Evo 13.5 gallon AIO with plans to convert it into a lean mean sps growing machine!

Here are my unboxing and first impressions of the system


Stay tuned for more!

25 month update
Alk swings because: weaning tank off of kalk / switched to ESV 2 part / forgot to replenish 2 part dosing container for a few days / forgot to adjust dosing while on vacation. Had a weird calcium spike because of bum test kit. Two acropora are really unhappy.

Do you think 2 mp10 is enough flow for your tank? I've been debating on switching over to mp40's

I see you sporting that "Reef Tank 365" badge!

I'm curious about this too. How much intensity of flow are you using on the MP10's?

He did the video below on his apex settings for the mp10’s

Ok here is a vid on flow in my tank



Working on a couple of mega vids...
2 year recap (if the tank doesn’t crash over the next week that is... fingers crossed )

And
2 years of sps growth pseudo time lapse [emoji119][emoji851]

Thanks pelphrey, I should have done a search on it. B-)

Not a problem! He runs a lot of different flow patterns using the apex to control the pumps.

I'm not sure if you where asking the OP or me. I use 100%

You're Amro_Azul! I found you, totally by accident. Been loving your youtube channel, I'm still watching back episodes of the saga of this tank. Sorry about the ups and downs, but it seems to be doing well now!

I'm going through some GHA right now and trying not to cause a dino or cyano outbreak by killing it. You make it sound like it just kinda went away in your system. Did you do anything special to eliminate it?

Thanks!

Actually I was asking the OP but I'll ask you too... In your build thread !!! B-)

I think so, you can get to the 50x then over rate with the pumps running at about 80%. I really like them. I would like to add a few more on the back. That way I can run everything a bit lower and shift the flow a bit more. But overall, very Happy with mp10s.



Now I’ve also been intrigued by the gyres, but didn’t want to switch - why mess with what works ?

Hahah, yes! I unplugged for a few days while working on a backyard project and just happen to check tonight... what a nice surprise! [emoji106] thanks for the well wishes!

@pelphrey beat me to it, but check the vid

Hard to say... I did add a tang and I have two tuxedo urchins and lots of trochus snails. Post Dino bloom. I think they are doing a good job of removing gha. I also see that I get some gha growing on pumps and fuge, so I think that gha is certainly growing in my system, but that herbivores keep it in check in the display.

Another idea is that my rock work is mostly either covered with coral or coraline so there isn’t a lot of space for gha to grow... this is something that will obviously differ between a new tank and an old tank.
