No sweat. The plumbing was soft tubing and I upgraded with pvc pipe. The sump they sent out was nice but I noticed there was more room in the stand for a bigger sump. So I upgraded there to fit more equipment like a bigger skimmer and marine pure blocks and fresh water auto top off. My upgrades occurred 1-2 years after setting up my tank. Don’t worry about getting everything you need all set up at once. Truth is you don’t need much to get started but it is a whole lot of fun to start upgrading, once you start to get a hang of things.
Thanks again, I have been seeing a lot of mixed reviews on the CADLights systems and mostly positive reviews on the Red Sea Reefers. I really like that the CADLights systems include some of the equipment like a skimmer and return pump for around the same price as the Reefers. Just having a hard time committing to CADLights based on some of the reviews I have seen out there.
Your tank looks great! I also considered the E-260 but I may want the bigger size of the Reefer 350, and I wasn’t sold on the look of the plastic barricade on top of the filtration chamber. My wife really wants a design in which no equipment or wiring is visible to the rest of the room. I also like the upgraded sump and ATO of the Reefer 350.Welcome to R2R!! I highly recommend the Red Sea tanks, I have the E-260 with sump upgrade and love it! The plumbing came with the sump kit, the Reefer will have it also and it's easy to install.
