After a mere 5 months with my 24g cube I have pulled the trigger and ordered a RSR 250 Deluxe.
I agonized over what brand to get, should I go custom, etc, etc. Once I decided on the Red Sea, then it was 250 or 350...I went with the 250 since I'm in a rental house, with 2 years on the lease, and think the 250 will be easier to move.
I ordered it from my LFS, http://www.barrierreefaquariums.com/. They have a great sale going on and I really like to support this great store. I decided to spoil myself a wee bit more and they are delivering and doing a dry set up next Thursday.
I'll be moving equipment from my current tank which is/was an Aquatop 24g cube system. I had already replaced everything in the tank except the sump. I knew I wouldn't be able to resist upsizing so I bought things that would take me up to about 75g.
So here is my current/future equipment list:
My plan is a mixed reef, not sps focused. I love Acans and Zoas so they will definitely figure prominently, as well as my growing BTA addiction. I love to get a carpet but going to wait and choose carefully.
Here are some of my favorite things.
Gotta include the cat.
Going to try and do a real build thread (even though I'm not really building anything).
See you next week!!

So here is my current/future equipment list:
- Red Sea Reefer 250 Deluxe which includes the 2 AI Hydra 26 LED lights
- Skimz SN123 Monzter Mini Protein Skimmer - Love, Love, Love this skimmer.
- Current eFlux 1050gph return pump - Love this too, dead silent...Wish it had a feed mode, I do find myself not quite dialing it back to the exact setting and often trigger my ATO.
- Current eFlux Wave Pump x 2 - Super for a great price in my opinion. Nice feed mode, locking, surge. Love it!
- Cobalt 200W heater - coming new with system
- Inkbird heater/fan controller. I have a single heater controller that I will use with the RSR
- generic 4 fan cooling, I think it came on once this summer - Not going to set this up at this time.
- Fusion controllable Air Pump - I likes to bubblescrub overnight.
