Well, I paid 1k for the full set up. It came with Red Sea skimmer 300, Ecotech mp10, reefwave 25, sicce return pump, clear lids lid, large mag float, aqqa heater, rock & sand etc.

Bought g5 ecotech xr15 pros separately that I’ll put on once it’s cycled.

Does that seem “killer” or just good..? Lol

I'd say its a nuke already lol

Have fun reefing! Looking forward to your tank finished

Hi everyone,

I have been an avid lurker for a few months here on reef2reef and have been wanting to get into the hobby since I was about 12 years old.

This past weekend the dream finally came true. Found a killer deal on a Red Sea Reefer 250 and I’ve got the process started. I could not be more excited and confident, especially with the trove of great information here.

If anyone is in the Omaha/Council bluffs area, let me know!

Welcome! Glad you joined. CONGRATS on scoring a deal! That makes it extra fun! May all your childhood dreams come true this year - you are on your way!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). It is never to early.

This might help you find people local to you near Omaha:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium

This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...

I'd call that a good deal. I spent way more on my 1st sw tank. Welcome! I'm in the DSM area, but always nice to meet local or local-ish reefers.
