So after 3 years and 10 month with my Miracle 450 Gallon Peninsula build, wife ordered me to downgrade the tank to a smaller prebuild tank so we can have a better looking cabinet and I can open up the area in the basement.
450 Gallon Thread:
I happen to pick up a close to brand new Red Sea Reefer 750 XXL V3 during the pandemic, and have it sitting around for more than a year so I'll just use it for my last build in Canada, as we are moving to Tokyo in roughly 3 years from now. I sold my 750 XXL V1 back in 2018 before I build my 450 Gallon, now I'm back to point zero.
I'm going all out on the equipment for this tank, no compromise.
Equipment:
Red sea Reefer 750 XXL V3
Ecotech Radion XR15 G5 Blue x 11
Ecotech Radion XR15 G5 Pro x 2
ReefBrite XHO Blue 36" x 2
Ecotech Vortech MP40QD x 8
Royal Exclusive Bubble King Deluxe 300 EXT
Royal Exclusive Mini Bubble King 200
Jebao DCP 20000 / Jebao DCP 18000 as back up (Will be replaced with a Red Dragon RD3 60W soon)
Pentair Aquatic 120W UV Sterilizer
Aqua UV Classic 57W UV Sterilizer
Rockwork will be a 3 x custom lifted rockwork from PandoRocks by ArtReef Rocks PH, Glen was really nice to work with.
Fish stock:
Black Tang
Gem Tang
Red Sea Blond Naso Tang
Red Sea Regal Angel
Bellus Angel pair
White Tail Bristle Tooth Tang
Hawaii Yellow Tang
Powder Blue Tang
Borbonius Anthia
Sixline Wrasse
Molly Miller Blenny
I'm using dual skimmer to add some redundancy, I'm trying to do a low maintenance system this time so MP40QD is a must. I have 10 maxpect gyre, cleaning takes a lot of time! No kidding, if I skipped the maintenance, the flow will drop dramatically. That also means I have to sell some of my fish, my XXL Blond Naso Tang and my XXL African Dussumieri Tang, they are just way too big for the little Red sea 750 XXL to handle, the size is close to 1 foot, they really grow up in a big system. If you are in Toronto area, shoot me a PM if you are interested with the fish.
