Heifinator's RedSea Reefer 250

heifinator · Jun 6, 2018

Coming up on 10 years in the hobby and I felt like it was time to make a change. I've done a slight downsizing from my 93 gallon cube into a Reefer 250. Spent the better part of the last 3 months getting the system up and running. Thankfully the fun is about to begin.

Equipment

Tank: RedSea Reefer 250 (White)
Sump: RedSea Reefer 250 Sump
Refugium: Mr Aqua 12" Cube
Display Light: AI Hydra 26 HD (3)
Refugium Light: AI Prime HD Freshwater
Return Pump: Ecotech Vectra M1
Skimmer: Nyos 120
Water Movement: Ecotech Vortech MP40 QD (2)
Controller: Apex Classic (EB8 x2, I/O module)
Auto Top Off: Tunze Osmolator 3155

I took some inspiration from some other RSR owners on these forums and want to thank them for their great ideas! Hopefully my thread can provide some inspiration to others as well.

That's alright, I still the ideas from a few others and put them together.

Love your setup! Where'd you get all the parts for the plumbing from? Care to provide some instruction? Thanks!

Love the way you plumbed everything up and hooked up the manifold...that refugium is setup pretty sweet as well....where did you put your ATO reservoir and dosing containers??

Are those ceramic bio-media rocks in your refugium? What else are you going to put in your refugium?

ATO reservoir is inside the electronics cabinet. ATO is just in a 5 gallon acrylic ATO container next to the tank!

Right now just the media and cheato, maybe some more stuff in the future!

Sorry for the delay, haven't been updating the thread much. I'll get a picture update soon! (tm).
