Reefrf's 250 upgrade!

[reefrf]

It's long overdue but the day has finally arrived. I had my previous reef tank set up for nearly 8 years. Things had outgrown their home quite a bit. Here are some details about the new reef. Things are up & running now, so you can expect some photos to follow. I'm looking toward to seeing things develop.

Thanks for looking. :celeb2:

Thanks man!

Sure can! I've plumbed this through the wall into my office/fish room. Much easier access that I have become accustomed to. I still have quite a bit of cord management to do as well (not shown . My auto top-off containers will be eliminated once I get my liter meter connected through the attic into my garage where the RO/Di is. More to come on this.

Floors, what floors? Just kidding. Not wood, porcelain 4 foot tile planks.

Hi, thanks! No problems at all with either the swallowtails or the majestic Angle. All perfect citizens. But as we all know it's hit or miss. However, typically the genacanthus Angel species are usually good.

Beautiful mixed reef. I wish these got more credit than just stick tanks. This thing is going to be amazing in a year or so. Right now it is awesome though. Congrats

Thank you for the compliment. Yes, I love the mixed reef tank look! More natural looking in my opinion. Things are really beginning to encrust now & take off. I agree, in 12 months it should fill in nicely. I have a lot of frags in there. [emoji2]
