Aquarium upgrade

[jshep13]

After successfully keeping a 24 gallon reef aquarium for 10 years, I’m finally in the market for a much larger aquarium.

With two young children at home, I’m looking to automate and have a plug and play system in place. That way I can spend more time enjoying the aquarium with the kids. Currently, I mostly have LPS corals, but would like to add some SPS down the line after the new aquarium matures.

I’ve been considering the following:

RedSea reefer 625 G2
2- RedSea 160S lights
RedSea skimmer 900
2- RedSea reefwave 45
1- RedSea Reef dose 4
RedSea Reefmat 1200
Return pum Eco Texh Vectra M2

Any feedback or recommendations from the reef2reef community would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Jason

Go according to space and budget an apex el or even junior should fulfill your needs for control

Like a red sea commercial.

What size tank is that? (Brand won't make a difference with a box of water)

I like jebao pumps, cheap and reliable.

Love my kessil lights and reef octo skimmer

Never tried the lights, hated the skimmer both the 600 and 900, now run a Nyos. The dose (Nopox) and reefmat 1200 I have no issues with.

Good point. I should have put the gallons of the system in my post. 132 gallon aquarium with a 32 gallon sump for a total of 162.
