I have a BioCube that I started 13 years ago and just finished moving it to a Reefer 250. Now that I can set up some good lights and have a fuge, it feels like a totally different hobby. I feel like I can host some softies and LPS with my current work/family schedule. I have enjoyed starting...
Here’s some pics of the custom tank build. Red Sea Reefer 250 with custom Synergy CL-34 Sump and Clearwater CW-50
Custom Algae Scrubber includes:
So I had my build going (no expense spared) and ran into some family financial and health issues and am forced to sell. I have parted out some...
So I was finally able to get my hands on a used 250 reefer the tank I’ve been wanting . I’m pretty excited . The guy I got it from upgraded to a 525 so I was able to pick this up with no accessories.
He upgraded the plumbing to a standard 1” brs set up . Found a guy selling a nib reefer 300...
I’m stuck in between a Red Sea and water box I’m shooting for a 50 gallon display . I have never owned neither of these tanks so I don’t really know the difference they are similar in price with the water box being a little more . Trying to decide if it’s worth spending the extra cash on...
Hello Everyone,
It’s a pleasure to be among my fellow Reefers!
I have been in the aquarium hobby for about 5 years, but mainly with Freshwater Tanks. I have recently started a Red Sea Reefer 250 in an effort to start my hand at a saltwater tank. So far, I have a tiny Yellow Tang, Clown Fish...
Time for an upgrade! Seeing as I will be working from home until the end of the year at the least, I decided I could afford the time to handle a larger system and pulled the trigger on a Reefer 250. I started reefkeeping in January 2018 with an IM fusion 20, which was the perfect size for my...

Starting with the specs!

Hi!
First of all a little of my background, in 2011 I started my first aquarium with a 55 Gal tank i got on Craiglist, for that aquarium I decided to do a low to none maintenance planted native freshwater tank, I used dirt and local lake bed sand as substrate, with several...
Hey everyone! I figured I'd start a build thread for this new tank I just started, seems to be what all the cool kids are doing these days :D. I've been keeping aquariums for around 10 years now, most of which have been freshwater planted tanks. After running a few high tech tanks I decided that...
Hi, I am new to Reefing after 11 years of freshwater. I got myself a Reefer 250 to start with. The return pump I ordered (Sicce Syncra Silent 4.0) did not come with the 5/8" adaptor for the return line the sump came with. I thought it did but that was my fault. I have no plumbing skills :). What...
Hi, I have been lurking around in the background on this forum for a year ago and think it’s about time I start my tread for my own build.
So after about 2 years of owning this tank and gathering equipment it’s about time to make a start and put it together. I purchased the tank new and have...

Been a lurker for a while, but I'd thought I'd start up a build thread and share what I have going on.
I started reefing with a 12G Fluval Edge about 3 years ago and it took all of about 6 months for me to upgrade to my first "adult" tank. My Red Sea Reefer 250 has been running for exactly 912...
This will be my third reef tank over the 15+ years I have been in the hobby, but this one will be special. Heck, this one already is special!
Background:
My current tank is a standard 29 gallon, Aqueon aquarium that my then girlfriend and I won at the MAX Aquarium Expo in 2016. We spent time...
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...
I have decided to by a Clearwater CW-50 from bulk reef supply on Black Friday with a new skimmer. I have spent some time trying to figure out how to mount this in my sump for the Red Sea Reefer 250. I believe I came up with a great way. There is not much information about this on youtube or...
