I went with the BRS 50lb package of dry fiji. I'm not sure if that's enough though I didn't weight it but I figured that Dry weights less than wet so it should be by theory more rock.How many pounds of rock did you go with?
Is it functionally setup like the reefer series?
Hi Nando!
How are you liking the 260 so far? I know you're only a few days in but I'm also going to be going the RSM route on a new tank. I actually chose the C-250 instead of the E series because my wife can't stand the light bleed issues. I'll be curious to know if that ever bothers you? I love the look of rimless but hate the lack of a standard frame/canopy. What a catch-22!
The screen will stop curious little hands and astronaut fish as well! I think some type of lid or screen is a must have for rimless!I like it very much so far. I almost bought the C250 until I saw the E260 was released. I went with it mostly because of the new features specially LED lighting. The lights don't bother me. Mine is setup in my finished basement and it looks awesome even with only rocks in it. Also I think with rimless. Salt creep isn't as much as an issue. Because there's no canopy for it to stick to which I like. I put on a screen because I have curious little hands that will try to get a "closer" look though but it still looks awesome.
How long has the BRS dry rock been in the system? Is there a downside to using the pumps/skimmer to cycle the system? If the skimmer has a break in period you might kill two birds with one stone while you're waiting on cycle.
I've never used the BRS Fiji, as I've always selected the Reef Saver for cure reasons. I'm planning to use Pukani which I have read is a huge pain for curing the rock properly. I've always used dry rock in my aquariums but have never been willing to wait it out. This time I kind of had three months to kill before the aquarium was delivered so I just threw the rock in a brute and have been doing 100% water changes every week. Haven't tested or dosed it at all so who knows if I accomplished anything!
That looks super sharp! Not much light bleed at all. What sand did you end up choosing?
I'm so conflicted! I'm leaning towards BB/ Reef Flakes/ Fiji Pink! So hard to make the decision.
