Red Sea Reefer 170

[Barry Bowen]

Hello fellow reefers
Been in the hobby for around 20 plus years now and believe it or not this is my first ever brand new tank. Went from a 4 foot to a 6 foot to an Elos nano to the Red Sea Reefer 170 which will be my final set up so I thought I will go all out with it.
Here's the gear list:

Obviously the RSR 170
Radion XR 30 pro G4
( Le Russo light mount system )
2 x MP10wes QD
Reeflink
Royal exclusiv mini 160 skimmer
RD3 mini speedy 50w (controllable)
Kamoer X4 dosing pump
2 x IM desktop reactors
( 1 for AF zeomix / 1 for GAC-Phos)
1 x IM full size reactor
(1 ltr Siporax )
4 x dosing containers
(AF Component 123+ / AF NP pro)
Cobalt 150w neo-therm heater
Teco TK150 chiller / Tunze silence 1073.02 pump
12 point power board
DIY electronic RODI water top up

I used about 13kg's of real reef rock, Caribsea arag-alive Hawaiian black and AF reef salt / RODI (140ltr's total). It's been 1 week into 14 day cycle using AF Bio S.

Looking great!

20 lbs of reef equipment in a space big enough to hold 10 lbs... well done!

It took a bit of working out but eventually got there, maintenance may be a hassle later down the track

How do you like the doser? Where did you get it?

Hey mate,
It's the first time using a doser and I'm into second week of cycle using Aquaforest Bio S. Even though doser is ready to go and turned on, I'm really glad I got the x4 especially that I use my iPhone to control it with built in wifi. At the moment I only check temperature of the tank via iPhone app .
I live in Sydney and got it from my LFS.
Thanks for looking
