The pipe dream.
So I ordered a Reefer S-1000 the other day, delivery took 2 days thanks to Prime, the wife and I plopped it onto the stand, poured in the included water and livestock, and voila, instant reef!
The reality, my office looked like a bomb went off for a week while fish and corals waited impatiently for me to complete the transfer.
Previous aquarium that was torn down Friday morning prior to the "Big Move".
It took 8 men to move the 600-Lb. Reefer S1000 into place. Volunteers from Reef2Reef, friends, and coworkers all pitched in for the epic move, who I am grateful for and in debt to, this thing was heavy! STL BBQ and refreshments were provided to help attract assistance.
That was 9 days ago, and I've got a long way to go, but getting close to being able to take a break!
Apex stuff
Mixing Station
RO Water storage - CO2 degassing station - prior to DI resin.
This was my second upgrade since 2022, my original 75 gallon Oceanic reef had been running for 25+ years, upgraded to a ProClear 150 in 2022, then the Reefer S-1000 was a black Friday purchase to help subdue tang aggression. This little Gem grew quickly, became very aggressive, and needed a longer tank.
Time to rest, but I will post more details later this week. Thanks for reading!
