Darth's Reefer 250 Tank Build...

Yes I have an Apex Energy Bar, Vortech Controllers, and a WXM still up here which control module for Radion's through Apex Fusion.... But zero water under stand....

With the large sump now do you keep anything inside the stand?
 
New project addition....
Adding a 100 Gallon Fish Only Tank in control room...

Finally did it!!! Added another Cor20... Now one Cor20 powers my manifold, for frag tanks, coral grow out tank... UV Sterilizer, Ect.. And 2nd one dedicated for Display Return Only.
Also will gain plenty of flow on Manifold for new 100 Gallon Tank that's coming...

 
I received the same model as your old skimmer last week and it barely fit my sump. I'm sending it back tomorrow and going to run my old noisy Skimz for awhile longer.

That'll take awhile to break-in but once it does you'll be pulling a crap ton of waster out of the water !!! Keep us posted how it's running and the progress of the new tank. Have you started a build thread for the new tank yet?
 
That's a shame. The Reef Octos are great skimmers... I have plenty of room even for my RO 300ss. My sump is wide open...
 
Ok FOWLR tank done, plumbed and ready to go... Water all tied to main system.... you think this yellow tail emperor can smell the corals upstairs?? Lol

 
Great colors on the new fish! You've taken the reefer 250 to an entirely new level with the extra water volume!
 
Thank you #pelphrey
It's beyond the 250 now... Each facit of my system is a different tank to me.... The Reefer 250 is my SPS tank.... FOWLR will have the fish I always wanted, but no threat to corals. Frag tanks to grow corals... Grow tank for larger Pieces....
 
So I had a parasitic disease outbreak that unfortunately took out half of my fish population. Lost my regal angel, Lineatus wrasse, and bunch of others. Picked up an Emperor Fish that was infested with flukes and other parasites. I did not qt and I payed the price. The angel was in my FOWLR tank FYI and water is all connected... Store purchased from gets in fish weekly, with no quarantine protocol. They sell the fish 12-24 hours after receiving it.... would be happy to share details over PM regarding NJ LFS...

Good news is that my corals are all doing great. Calcium reactor has my alk stable at 9.5 for the last 12 weeks solid....
Acros are growing like crazy and colors are amazing.....

Thanks for asking....
Here’s some photos from tonight. Pardon the blues. Lights are almost out...
