So a couple months ago I came across a smoking deal on a Red Sea Reefer 450. I had just setup a Marineland 150 but I kept looking at the 450 I had sitting in the garage. The plan was to part out the 450 to make some money on. So I quickly sold off a good chunk of the collector end livestock that came with the tank. After I recouped about 50% of my money back I decided to keep the 450 and set it up. I moved my gun safe in my office and opened up a nice 6' section of wall for the tank. I leak tested the tank for a couple weeks and finally filled it up with saltwater at the end of last week. I then added Carib Sea Seafloor Special live sand and the exisiting rock that came with the tank. I haven't decided if Im gonna keep the rockwork the way it is or change it up a bit. I might shrink up the left side possibly in the future.
Here is the equipment that came with the tank and I am using -
Red Sea Reefer 450
3 AI Prime HD's
Simplicity 320 DC Skimmer
Current Eflux 6009 return
It also came with a pair of Koralias I am going to replace with my IceCap 3K Gyre. Im also on the fence about keeping the primes or running a few Hydra 26's. The Primes really do light up the tank surprisingly and everything looked awesome under those lights from the previous owner. I will be using a old school Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper to control my tank
Livestock wise there will be a pair of snowflake clowns, 3 blue-green chromis, sixline wrasse and a purple firefish that will come from my 40 breeder frag tank into the display. Still deciding on what other fish I want to add. I will mainly be keeping a mix of LPS, zoas, a few montis and softies in this tank. Just added my Dr TIm's One and Only tonight so hopefully I can transfer everything over soon
