    Red Sea Reefer 250 build!

    Sorry i missed this, im not on the forum too often anymore as work is really busy. As for your question i do like the skimmer however i think i would get the omega 130 if i did it again. Or maybe the nyos 120. There is almost no room in the sump with that skimmer in there and it seems to be...

    Thanks guys! Its slowly getting there! so far its the best system and setup ive had yet, although my others were pretty simple. Definately glad i went this route instead of getting out of the hobby which was the other option.

    Ive had a few RBTA's and as far as i can tell there are so many variables with why they bubble or have long tentacles its almost impossible to determine what it is. Some say if they dont get enough light the tentacles are long and 'reaching for more light' others say they bubble 'to provide more...

    Red Sea Reefer 250 build!

    I currently do about 20% waterchange every week in my RSM 130, so i will probably stick with the weekly 20% on the 250. Ive decided to not go with the tang and do 3 anthias instead of 4. The reason i want a magnificent foxface is cause i dont like the look of the normal/ one spot one. The color...

    So for stocking fish im planning kind of a heavy bioload. I personally feel like swimming room for the fish is the most important thing in stocking instead "x fish needs atleast 75 gallon tank" But again, thats just my opinion. Right now i have: Randalls Goby+pistol shrimp Yascha Goby Midas...

    Red Sea Reefer 250 build!

    Everything was packaged good, seemed to be very thought out to make sure nothing would get damaged in shipping This little thing right here on the stand makes a huge difference from the old stands imo. The stand was easy to put together and very sturdy, pretty sure they either used real wood...

    Red Sea Reefer 250 build!

    my plan is to use the return for surface agitation and use the vortech for water flow. Going to test the MP10wes on the half inch glass in a couple of days. Ive read that it works just fine, but ya never know. Ideally ill probably sell it and get an mp40 but we will see
