So after leaving the hobby for the 2nd time all within 2 years I am back for good...This will be my third system but I have actually never ran a system for more than 5 months.
So in a last minute impulse I decided to go with a Red Sea Reefer 250 over a Deep Blue 57 rimless w/ Deep Blue stand. I have had Deep Blue tanks in the past and have had good and bad experiences with them but the DB stands are a little flimsy.
With my current schedule it's going to be tuff to find time to do all that is needed so this will definetly be a slow process!
----------Current Equipment-------------------------(* Denotes waiting on delivery)
Display - Red Sea Reefer 57
Stand - White Red Sea Reefer
Sump - Standard Reefer
Return - Jebao DCP Sine Wave Water Return Pump (DCP-5000)
Power Heads - 2x Jebao PP-4 530-1000 GPH Wavemaker with Controller
Substrate - Tropic Eden Reefflakes Aragonite Sand - 30lb*
Rock - CaribSea Life Rock 40lbs
Also, MarinePure Media Block (8x8x1)
RO/DI - BFS Buckeye Field and Supple (75GPD)
Controller - Neptune Apex Jr. w/ALD Module & 2x Sensors*
--------Equipment Needed---------------------------- (Please comment and recommend, I'm still debating on all equipment listed below)
Skimmer - Vertex 150
Lights - 2x Hydra 26 HD
Plumbing - Schedule 40 PVC w/ Flow Valves (only for return to incorporate reactor)
-----------Things I need 2 do------------
Aquascape
Add sand
Install in stand lighting (LED Strip?)
Mount Apex (install a false wall for an electrical panel)
Plumb return using schedule 40 PVC
Adjust doors (crooked, lol)
