Red Sea Reefer 625 Build!!!

[vinny110]

Hi Fellow Reefers;

Here's my build thread for the new Reefer 625 XXl

-Return pump: Ecotech Vectra M1
-Circulation Pumps: Hydor wavemakers (yes I know its not the best) lol
-Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 7
-Lights: AI prime and Kessil A160 plus XR30

Currently done building the stand, trying to level it properly. But I've notice minor damage to the cabinet upon opening, minor issue.

Quick update, been busy with renovation...But I'm still undecided whether or not to use Red Sea reservoir?
Btw, the tank is very veryyyyyy heavy. Luckily I had construction crew at my place for much needed help! So
I took all livestock from my previous reefer 250 and transfer it over to the 650. Also, since the glass is 3/4 inch thick, will the RMS mount
from the radion work? Its my first ecotech light and I'm trying to clamp it to the glass, silly question.

Tank is extremely heavy. Had to move the RSM S-500 from basement to first floor in NC heat.... I do not wish to do that again!!
Looking good. The Red Sea Aquariums look so nice!

Awesome! Hoping to get a Red Sea Reefer 525 XL in a year or two. I'm so jealous! [emoji16]

Love the peninsula style, wish I had the space to fit it... I have a 525 incoming VERY soon that I look forward to starting up!

I'm using the Red Sea resevoir for now while I build my water mixing station and remote ATO top off tank in the basement, It'll last me 4 days in between top offs.

I might be able to squeeze 5 days but there would be a possibility of the pump sucking air.

We have the reefer 625 too, and ditched the ATO reservoir within about 2 weeks as it kept getting blocked up! So if you do use it, make sure you watch it carefully. We replaced ours with a reefloat 85L ATO that lasts 2 weeks.

Let me clarify, I use the stock ATO reservoir but I do have a ATO pump/sensor (Avast Marine) plugged into my Apex, so I am not using the gravity fed stock set-up.
