Wazzupmac’s Red Sea Reefer 250

[wazzupmac]

Bought the tank from @Holly94583 last spring but finally set it up in new apartment.

Equipment:
Red Sea Reefer 250 gen1 or 2???
Neptune Apex A3 Pro (waste of money but you only live once)
Salinity Probe (still wet - leftover from previous buying frenzy)
Varios 4 return pump
MP10 (2) - to be set up later this week

Other:
60-65lbs of live rock
40-50lbs Caribsea Special Grade sand
Red Sea net cover - to be assembled
Heater (2) - controlled by Apex

Livestock/etc:
Copepods - 2 packs added from AC (4 Algaebarn Galaxy Pods on the way)
10 Blue Chromis - Neptune Aquatics
1 Flame Angel - 2”

TBD:
Lights - will determine based on stocking path
Corals - waiting for tank to settle more
CUC - will get right guys based on stocking of tank
Skimmer - TBD - hurts my head thinking of the options - Simplicity 120, RO110, RO150sss, Nyos 120, RSK300???

I have a Cor15 in box that I may swap in for Varios 4 for improved Apex integration though I am controlling Varios via Apex 0-10v

It’s been a long time since my last update but everything is coming together. Just added two XR15 G6 to tank with mounting arms, 15W hob UV filter, Reef Octopus Regal 150sss, Ice Cap medium CO2 scrubber, Neptune Trident, and Hue light strip in cabinet triggered by motion sensor.

Waiting for Red Sea ATO (preordered) to pair with Trigger 15 gallon ATO reservoir.

Real pics of tank will come this weekend when lights are on during the day and I’ve filled out my frag racks.

The rambling nest of wires will be hidden by wall cabinets that should be built and installed this weekend. They are bathroom cabinets that I ordered from Amazon that will hold the electronics and hide the wires.
