Red Sea Reefer S-1000 SPS build

[SeaworthyAquatics]

Build thread for my Red Sea Reefer S-1000 210g display, 265g total.

Guess I'll start with where the tank is now and go back and put together an equipment list and other specs. Hopefully I can dig up some old progression pics as well.

Tank is just over six months old. Barebottom started with Cornerstone Reef Rock and several large pieces of seed rock from my other systems. Started adding SPS and Euphyllia a couple months ago and going well.

Fish doing their part to make any photography difficult, as is tradition.

Some old progress pics, each about 4-6 weeks apart. First pic is a few weeks after cycle finished and had just started adding fish ending with a few days ago. Had started with XR30s lighting the tank but the room was rather hot. Switched to Neptune Skys at about 2 month mark and tank temp drop from 81 to 78 with no other changes.
