They threw in an extra piece.. It's the wrong color though lol

The threw the same piece in on my 425.. I assume because one is white and one is black, that you have a choice (mine was the front lower piece, I call it a kicker because it seems that is the one piece that will get kicked). I chose to use the black one..

Hey did everyone else's RO reservoir box say the peninsula 650? I figured they were the same but just curious.

Looking Good!

I haven't built my stand yet and am going to instal an outlet behind it could anyone with theirs built take a picture or describe which side the opening is in the back for wires. Thank you

The right side back is open for a chiller.

When I say right side I mean as you look at the front of the tank. There's a small opening in the vertical panel to run wiring through over to the sump.

Everyone's tank looks great!
I thought after buying my Deluxe 750 in May I'd send an updated picture.

...oh yeah, Red Sea has not sent the deluxe's yet.

Oh well, still gives me time to reinforce the floor tomorrow. 4 (18,000 lb) jacks being put in. Yep, way overkill, but might want to upgrade later.

Anyway, 1+ ton of weight on a floor is nothing to underkill.

How come saltwateraquarium is preselling these but other online stores are not? Such as marinedepot, BRS, etc.

TX_Punisher · Jul 2, 2017

Volume. They sell volumes of tanks from what I was told. They probably have a Deal with Red Sea because of this volume.

Their site (saltwateraquarium) is offering 10% reward points on this tank right now so I'm considering ordering it.

That is real nice. Seems like we are on the same step...

Can you run the protein skimmer before the refugium? In the few pictures and videos I've seen it looks like the refugium is before the skimmer area????? Not sure if it makes a difference but I always thought the skimmer was best placed after filter socks but before any refugium or reactors.

Depends on the foot print of your protein skimmer. I did the measurements for the chambers a few pages ago.

Unlikely. I can't even get the rufugium plate in with my octo 200. It's about an inch too wide at the standpipe area.
