Agreed. The sounds are relaxing anyway as long as you don't have obnoxious pump noises and rattles.

Love a silent tank! Nice job. Harder than one would think as so many people have skewed perceptions of what silent means.

How do you find the razor on the reefer 250? I have the same light but am looking at getting the 350, do you think there will be enough light?

Bump for an update.

Planning a 250 right now, would love to see more pictures.

I have the 170w 16k version and It's more than enough for 250 imo. 350 might be pushing it.

Are Aquaroche ceramic rocks available in the US?

Looks really cool.


Never mind I found it at Aquarium Specialty.

Lovely aquascape. I came across this while searching for aquaroche artificial rock. Did you have any issues with those rocks or no?

Be careful with the GSP (front right). I put a clump like that in my RSM 500 and they have spread and taken over! Can be dangerous...
