Two years ago I dabbled in the hobby for a short period. Being new to the hobby, I decided to go the cheapest route possible as all of this was like a foreign language to me. I purchased a 75 gallon tank and stand at the large pet retail chain for $200. I purchased all of the other necessary...
About 2 weeks ago I merged my 3 tanks into 1, namely a Red Sea Reefer 250.
Equipment:
1x 200W heater. (thinking about adding a secondary heater.)
1x Jecod DXP 5000 (as a return, lowest setting)
1x TMC Reef-Skim 1.000
1x (temporary) Propeller Pump from Jecod
1x EasyLed 438mm 1.0 with a 1.0...
Hello all!
This is going to be my Red Sea reefer 250 build thread. I’ve been in the hobby for about 6-7 months now. Over the next month I will be piecing together parts and equipment until I am able to get moved and get the tank set up in new apartment! I try to keep updated, my last thread...
Hey Reefers-
I will be attending grad school and need to downsize to a smaller system. Tank is in perfect condition and comes with some nice equipment. Tank is only about 5-6 months old; bought the equipment at the same time. I would rather this tank go to a dedicated reefer, so I am offering...

Hello Reefers!
What is your opinion on having 1x Kessil a360WE over a Red Sea Reefer 250 (35.5 inches long).
I know most reefers recommend 2x 360's over this particular tank, but I'am getting excellent coverage with a single 360 and no perceivable shadowing. I only have soft coral and LPS in...
Hello Reefers-
I have a Red Sea Reefer 250. My Vectra S1 return pump is arriving tomorrow and I'm not sure if it comes with any connectors/adapters to fit the green tubing that came with the red sea reefer.
Can I connect the green tubing directly into the S1, or will I need some sort of barb...
Hello reefers!
I have upgraded to a Red Sea Reefer 250 and I am curious how often you guys/gals dose your reef system.
I plan on keeping soft coral, LPS, and a few SPS.
Thanks all,
