Getting back into this hobby (for the third time) after several years away and have collected the components and infrastructure to setup the Reefer XL 200 G2 that arrives tomorrow.
There was a bit of a snafu when I ordered the tank so it took a few weeks to get the delivery notification, but we made good use of the time.
Setup the RO/DI, fresh-water storage, and mixing station in the utility room.
Setup a Fluval Evo 13.5 to use as a quarantine tank and began a “Dr. Tim’s” cycle with some of the aquascape pieces and some bio-media that will be used in the quarantine tank.
Printed media baskets for chambers 1 & 2 of the Evo.
Tested the pumps and heater.
Did rock sculpture.
Tomorrow will be boring cabinet assembly and leveling along with some test fitting of sump components...
Equipment list (so far)
MarcoRocks + glue and epoxy
7 Stage RO/DI
ReefWave 25 Pump with Controller
VarioS-2 DC Pump
Reef Octopus Classic 110INT Skimmer
Aqua Ultraviolet 15 Watt Classic UV Sterilizer
Finnex 300w THH with HC-810M Controller
