Lram853 redsea reefer 250 build.

[Lram853]

Hey guys. I recently moved house and decided to rebuild my redsea 250 from the ground up i will try to post as many pictures as possible to show this build. It needs cleaning and many pictures will be posted as the build continues.

Here are some older pics of it up and running and corals.

So here's a quick update. I started cleaning some of the old plumbing and the sump. It was really dirty.

Here is some of the equipment that will go in the tank right now:

Jebao DC return pump 800
Aqueon 250w shatter proof heater.

This is all old equipment from how I had it previously set up and I will continue to use it until I slowly upgrade it and then this will move to my next future set up.

I also move the tank from my previous spot to one where I hope it will stay from now on.

I also went ahead and trimmed the return hose from how I previously had it to make it more linear. Later on if I add a frag tank to this system this will also be hard plumbing.

Hey guys. I've been out of town but here's some updates pics. I ran the tank with tap water and vinegar to clean the system while I was out of town.

It then created this film on everything that is slimmy but has a sponge appearance.

I scraped it off cleaned it and it looked a bit better.

I then drained the display, rinse the rocks and filled the display with water and vinegar for a last wash before adding salt water and cycling.

I'm glad you got your pictures straightened up. Now I can quit holding my head sideways, lol. Did the white stuff come back after you added new water and vinegar?

Haha. There's something wrong with the app. I got to open the website on my phone to open the links. There hasn't been any new slime since the last vinegar bath but I'm gonna let it run a dat more before rinsing and cycling.

A day more
