Well I guess it’s better to be late than never, but I am just starting this just short of a year after getting the tank running. So let’s start from the beginning, picked up a used Red Sea Reefer 750 XXL then drove it three hours to its new home

Took a couple weeks but eventually got everything running smoothly

After waiting what seemed to be an eternity for the tank to stabilize, I went strait to planting the new tank

I have been fighting GHA for a few months but it seems to be going away very slowly with some additional manual removal. Other than that just working to keep the system smooth and simple
 
nice bud!
I had the 750 and the 650p at one point.
guessing that is a G1 model?
keep an eye on those tank seems and have a plan if/when you need to move the fish/coral in a moment notice. i suggest a stock tank or kidy pool.
hopeful you never have to deal with it. but best have a plan if you do.
 
It is a G1, but the previous owner got some of the upgrades that became available on the G2 like the stand bracing, but will keep vigilant all the same
 
Been a while but doing great and finally stable
