Hi reefing community!.

My name is Mariano and I live in Florida.

Im so excited to share my progress with you guys.

On May 27th i decided to finally get a reef tank and bought a Red Sea Reefer 350 G2+ from SaltwaterAquariums.com. I didn't want anything too big so I think 72 gallons is just perfect for me.
That same day I bought all the necessary equipment just to have it ready for when the tank arrives.
On Friday June 7th, I received an email from Saltwateraquariums stating the aquarium was just shipped. I also received a text from ESTES Express the same day with the tracking number.
I just checked the tracking number and the aquarium arrived yesterday ( June 12 ) at ESTES Boynton Beach Delivery facility (about 40 mins from home).
It took about 5 days to ship from Texas to South Florida.
I hope to get a call from the delivery company today or tomorrow to set up a delivery date.
I will be posting pictures of the equipment and aquascape today, and hopefully I receive the tank tomorrow or Saturday so I can set it up this weekend.

Congrats Mariano!!! Will you be making your own water?
Definitely NOT! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:. At least for now. Im definitely planning on getting a RODI system within the next 2 months. I have a LFS about 10 mins from me. So im buying it from them for the first 2 months.

Very cool! It’s just so convenient to make and mix your own salt water.

Very nice! I am setting up my new Reefer 350 as well. Curious why you went with the 7000 return pump and 300 Skimmer? I purchased my tank as the MAX package and that comes with the 5500 return pump and 600 skimmer.

I just wanted a a bigger return pump so i dont have to use it at full speed ( providing less noise) and the 300 skimmer (according to red sea ) is rated for 160gallons mix reef. :)

A week later and water is in, i will post pictures when the water is clear.
In the meantime i built this box for cable management. (sorry about the sh***y paint job) best i could do lol.
I never been a big fan of cables so this should do a pretty good job at hiding them. This box will be going in the left side of the sump. Since theres lot of extra space there.
