So I figured I'd start my own thread to track progress of my Reefer 170.
A little back story is that this Reefer 170 started as a 3 gal pico. Ran the pico for two months to only want more so I turned a 10 gal QT into a reef. Rather quickly I found myself very dissatisfied with the limitations of what I wanted out of a 10 gal. That 10 gal quickly became a Reefer 170 and although still on the small size it's perfect for my current needs and space restrictions.
