When I installed the IM170 EXT: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/keenans-rsr-525xl.600224/post-11063728
Last November, my fiancé and I purchased our first home, and right away I started thinking of where a new larger tank could go. Some new house tasks have delayed the build a bit (and continue to do so), but I’ve made some progress and am now ready to share my journey with you all!
The tank was purchased used in March. It’s a Red Sea Reefer 525XL that was kept in great shape during its two years of use. With it came an Artfully Acrylic Clearview lid, and a 25W Aqua UV sterilizer.
