Took a break do a while but ready to get back in to the game. Bought a used RSM 250, ordered new Ati bulbs, new ro/di filters, new pump 1. Going to go with a mixed reef with mainly pls and sod corals I think.

Welcome back to the hobby!! Nice set up, looking forward to seeing more :)
 
Made ro/di water all day yesterday and this morning and we’re finally full. Everything running except skimmer.

Didn’t like the left side of the aquascape so I redid it. I like it a lot better now. Just the waiting game now.

Chugging along. Ammonia gone. Nitrites about 1. Nitrates high but they will balance out soon hopefully. Added a tunze osmolator and replaces the old bulbs with Ati. Pretty blue but I will wait for fish and coral to see if I like it. Went with

Nice! I have a RSM c250, similar tank, does this have the sump built into the back?

That’s gonna be very blue!

I just purchased a used RSM Max and pick up this weekend. I need to replace some fans along with light. Where and which anti lights did you get? Thanks!
