Awesome! I am dosing B-ionic 2 part as well. I still have the stock plumbing in my 625 but plumbed in a UV. I was running carbon but removed it and have just been doing filter floss in my Redsea filter cups now plus some Marine pure blocks before the return and chateo in the fuge. Have had a lot better results since I removed the carbon. As well as my skimmer.

Looks great!Got the old fishes moved into the 525XL and the old rock(right side). Also got 5 new Carberryi anthias in the new tank that was quarantined in the old RSM 130D.

I must say, price pending, I love the features! That skimmercup stuff alone is great! Just give the cup a clean when feeding should help with time between maintenance and the window is a nice thought also.

I built my Red Sea Reefer 170 stand but have 2 dowels left over. I think I got all the pieces in since I followed instructions but now I'm paranoid I missed something and the stand won't be as stable. Did anyone else have 2 dowels left over? I'm hoping Red Sea included 34 dowels rather than the intended 32...
So that came out perfectly and Im guessing that it can hold a lot more weight if you ever decide to change lights.Centerline I got the canopy completed and it's floating strong and level as can be. Came out great and wanted to Thank you for your help and suggestions along the way. Here it is...
If you ever decide you want to hide the cable Amazon sells an expensive set of wall plates.

Plenty of fancy corals in the tank though LOL. Very well done!Stock reefer 350, without any fancy plumbing in the stand or fancy equipment on display
I have a thread from day 1 on that here: https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/370238-harry’s-recovering-reefer-350/
My new 300g build is started on this forum tho.
RFAs are super easy. Just keep them isolated so they dont wander.

I already set it up for running wires in the wall with low voltage plates. The ones in the picture are all set and there's another above those now. I haven't run it through yet because I'll be taking the canopy down before long to modify my lights. They are on 4 channels and the colors aren't independent. I'm researching parts at Rapid LED now to make them 6 channels of independent colors for full control. I use the BlueFish LED Controller. Once they are sorted and the finishing touches are in place you won't see a single wire anywhere. I'm pretty anal about stuff like that. I gutted my house so I know every nook and cranny!
Oh yeah! It's solid as can be and would carry quite a bit more weight without much effort.
I don't think that two dowels are going to make any difference. They don't add much to the stability of the stand as the metal KD cam fasteners do the heavy lifting - the dowels being plastic appear to more for lining stuff up and keeping it in place so that stand stays together as you tighten the cam dowels down.

lol I hope mine are leftovers. I looked through the instructions and I don't think I could've put together the stand while missing a dowel so I'm hoping I did everything right. The 170 isn't nearly as big as the 425 but still worries me knowing I may have missed something lolll

That's a little more relieving to hear. I hope the dowels not being too important is certainly the case!
