Finally

[05grandprix]

Well between work, school, and my crazy schedule the red sea Max project is up and running just need to install the LEDs fixture (just ran out of time today before work). Wanna say thanks to BSL for being patient and working with my crazy schedule to get in there and pick the tank up and for holding my fish and coral until tank was ready.


Tank before water

Can't wait until the other light fixture arrives. Can't decide if I'm going to run 2 led fixtures or 1. If I decide to run one fixture I will have a brand new fixture available for purchase.

looks good but i think some of your saved livestock may disappear a bit north of you

Lol depends how quick you get up there Monday. Only thing I'm Leary about putting in it right now is the purple tang. The clowns and seaba anemone and corals will do fine.

lol i can understand the leary doing the 40 as i did scared me to death.. but i had no choice and am very happy it all worked out.. both tanks have had amazing numbers since i did the tear down an alot of the corals and fish both seem to be much happier and opening more often for longer times

Looks good brent.

Thanks Snakeman I decided to apoxy the rock so that it doesn't fall but I did it so that I can tear it down and put it in same order for when I move it. It's kinda hard to tell but the right side of tank the rock makes curve with another cave.

After the water was in I have some great flow it appears already with the two maxi jet 1200 as returns into tank I am going to add another maxi jet 1200 as a circulation pump and possible another depends how it all goes (never enough water flow).

I also installed today the BRS dual reactor with GFO and CARBON. Its a shame to say this but the red sea tank probably will look better than my 120. On the other hand it's clearing up nicely now if I can stay on top of the water changes. The 120 goes thru about 2-3 gallons of RO A DAY THAT'S CRAZY may switch it to LEDs to ease the evaporation.

Nice Brent!
I bet it was an ordeal to set it up. That thing is herniaheavy for the size.
Are you planning to put a glass cover over it to reduce evaporation?

 

[05grandprix]

I am not sure about the glass cover venture to say probably not

 

[05grandprix]

Btw thanks nanodoc

I am really partial to those Red Sea tanks. I had a 130 and one like yours in black. I like the white better. It is looking good Brent.

 

[05grandprix]

Thanks TenUhC

 

[nanodoc]

can you post pics of your BRS reactor setup?

 

[nanodoc]

Brent, you might also post your build on Red Sea Max Owners Club on Reef Sanctuary. some guys have done amazing things with their 250s

 

[05grandprix]

Thanks nano I will check into that but the reactor may get a little hard to get pictures but will try

[nanodoc]

[TechDiver]

That Red Sea looks familiar. Is that the one from BSL?

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

Looks good Brent.

 

[05grandprix]

Yes it is the one from BSL

Thanks Teddy, nanodoc, Snakeman it will take awhile to get it Stocked with coral. I love the led fixture, one fixture was plenty great coverage.
