New member and new to reefing

[Terry McLean]

Hello there,

I have been an keeping and showing tropical fish for 50+ years. Discus, Bettas, Guppies, Killi's and Koi for the most part. Bred pretty much every freshwater fish you can. I have had saltwater fish back in the 80s but now I want to delve into this ocean reef area. I am a high end techno geek and really like the way the reef world is pushing technology to new limits that make this hobby a fun and rewarding experience.

I am still researching but am close to either choosing a Max S-650 or a Reefer 525 XL. Most likely the 650 with a few add-ons. I will be traveling to MACNA this weekend to see what the industry is doing and meeting other hobbyists.

Now I think I will read what posts are in this forum about the RedSea systems.

Thanks

Terry

Welcome to the forums! Those are great systems. I'm a big fan of the Red Sea aquariums! Personally, I'd probably do the 650, but it's hard to go wrong either way.

Hi Terry

I am with Pat on this if you have the Bucks go 650, I have to say I would love either systems but I think the 650 just edges it

Welcome to the forum and enjoy MACNA

Cheers
Big Pete

Welcome to the forum Terry,
A lot has changed in reefing since the 80s easier in one sense But can be as complicated as you want to make it in another but the basics are still the same, and will be looking forward to seeing your new adventure,[emoji846]
