I am a total noob to the reefer hobby so will be looking for help frequently. I have took the last 2 months browsing this forum for help and research. I have previously been in the African Cichlids Hobby the last 4 years and have just sold all of tanks and live stock to dive head first into the reefing hobby. I have always wanted a reef tank and Actually had bought this tank 4 years ago. The tank was used only during MACNA when MACNA was in DC. I walked into my LFS and they had this gorgeous tank on the floor lightly used for a great price. So I made the impulse buy a bought the tank. When I bought the tank it came with a Eheim pump and tank. I had it setup as a Fowlr tank for about 6 months before moving and shutting it down. I am now in the process of buying equipment and setting it up as my dream tank. Equipment:Tank: Red Sea Reefer 250Lights: 2 Kessil a360w-e, Goosenecks & Spectral Controller (Planned to go with AI Hydras, but 2 lightly used Kessil came up on my local Craigslist and got a great deal)Powerheads: 2 Jebao sw8’s ) I plan to put on the back wall but we will see how it goes)Pump: Eheim pump that came with tankProtein skimmer: Either Nyos 120 or Deltec sc1351 (would love to hear opinions on these)Sand: 30lbs of Tropic Eden Mini Flakes (plan to add some reef flakes when they come back in stock)Rock: 50lbs of ReefCleaners dry rockSalt: Bought a bucket Live Aquaria Salt MixHeater: 200watt hydor heater from a previous Cichlid TankThe Plan is to start a mixed reef tank and take my time with this build. I have the tank completely apart cleaned all the plumbing and sump. Next up cleaning the tank and setting up plumbing and leak testing.Pics to follow</blockquote>
