Reefer 750 XXL

[Injoynit]

So I was one of the first to pre order but finally got mine in my garage today smh how that works! Not happy with my white cabinet doors but inside black, wanted the inside white as well, changes my game a little! Thanks for all the detail everyone has been posting! Hope I will up and running soon like everyone here! Keep all the info flowing! Thanks!

Nice!
I was to get mine delivered Jul 26th and UPS Freight screwed that up with a hold up in Arizona for a day then it just sat in my city for the whole other day until I called them today. They thought someone had already called me to make a drop off appointment ;Jawdrop, they didn't :mad:. So now, because their trucks go out before they open, I'm not getting my tank until Monday the 31st. Thanks UPS Freight ;Rage. Crossing my fingers there is not a hole through the tank where the forklift used to be ;Wideyed.

Can you guys recommend a heater for this tank?

i have to pick mine up from lfs this Thursday since they won't drop ship to my house. Anybody know the tank weight? Need to know how many friends I should bring. Also, is the cabinet in a few boxes or one as we need to lift that as well. Going in my SUV since the lfs does not have a forklift or a pallet jack.

I had to pick mine up at the LFS as well and it took us five people to get into the back of a truck. We lifted one end up to back the tail gate under it. As one end say on the tailgate we were able to lift the other end up and slide it in. Everything was contained inside the tank(plumbing,sump,RO reservoir,a box with cabinet doors and sides) then the long boards of the stand were placed beside the tank. The crate was beefy and huge! Best of luck! hope this helps!

Have not tried them yet, but I'm going with these on my 750;
https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/t...-260-gallon-titanium-heater-element-only-jbj/
https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/true-temp-800-watt-160-260-gallon-titanium-heater-system-jbj/

One being run off APEX and the other as a back up with it's own control. I should be able to replace just one of the heaters (top link) each year in a rotation without the extra control.

Mine comes on Monday also, but the tracking weight says 1008 lbs, the extra 28 lbs must be the lights and rails.

I've been leaning towards the JBJ. Thanks.

Mine is being delivered Friday the 11th! Having the LFS uncrate it and put the stand together prior to delivery (cheating, I know .

Picked mine up last week! Jacked it up and put it on dollys took 5 guys to push it into a trailer! Breaking it down in my garage as we speak! Real deal, glass is insane!

anyone have pics on how the pallet comes? i have access to a flatbed with jib crane but not sure a single pick point will be safe.

EDIT: I actually found some images further up the thread but if you have any i'd like to see if there's much difference in packaging. thx.

How are you liking the mp40 setup? I'm debating on mp60s or mp40s for the ends of my tank. If you did it again would you go 60s?

Hi All,
I put together the stand for the 750xxl and had 5 guys laboriously move the tank onto the stand. Now I know there is no water in the tank but I can rock the tank back and forth (not side to side) on the stand. About an inch. Will this all settle once the water weight is in the tank or do I have another problem? The tank is on the stand that is on a piece of hardwood that sits on the carpet. I didn't want to put it right on the carpet as the levels would sink in and I would not be able to level it. It is perfectly level until I rock it and it goes back to level after rocking. Just worried as I think the stand should have been beefier.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Fellow 750 owners. Any tips on how to quickly refill RO reservoir?

I just looked at my Saltwateraquarium.com account and saw that almost half of my reward points were removed with the description "Blah". Has this happened to anyone else? I bought the 750 from this store.

I've got a message in to them, asking what is going on.

 

[57hornet]

I am sure it is some kind of mistake and they will correct it. They have been nothing but great when I have any questions.

 

[dealseer]

Thanks 57hornet, I'm sure you're right.
