RedSea Reefer XXL 750 coming tomorrow

EHaddad · Dec 3, 2018

So I ordered a RedSea Reefer XXL 750 from BRS. I ordered it on Cyber Monday and got that 7% off. It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. With it being so big I had to upgrade my floors.

So I should be able to park a car in there now.
I ordered the tank without the lights I got mixed reviews on the Hydra lights. I am really wanting the new Kessil lights. As soon as I get the tank in I’ll post some more I am also working on my Aquascape as we speak but was having problem getting a schematic of the tank so I would know the placement of the overflow and anything else. Did I mention that this is my first saltwater tank I’ve ever done.... I’ve though about doing one for over two years now I wanted to make sure that this was something I really could handle. I hope I did not bite off more than I can chew.

If you have any questions for me or would like to know more please feel free to ask! I’m new at the reefing thing and this is the first forum I’ve ever used so I’m definitely new at this.

Got the tank in the house took 6 guys. Now time to build the stand. I marked the deminsions of the tank on the table to build my aquascape.

The room is packed full of goodies.

Please excuse the curtains from the 50s that’s on my list of things to change. Haha got the Poker table ready too.

Welcome to R2R. That's a great tank! You will love it! Believe it or not, I moved mine into the house with just one other friend using suction cups. He's a big guy, but I'm only 5'7" and 155 lbs, but those suction cups give you great leverage. I could barely lift it high enough to get it on the stand though...

Sorry no posts in a while I work retail so Christmas season is crazy for me I'll have some pics and more info up later. The question I have now is what pump does everyone recommend for the Red Sea Reefer XXL? #pump #help

Congratulations on the new tank!

I just got my tank too, but haven't plugged a pump in yet. I did a bunch of research and found a lot of people went with the Varios 8. I went with that pump.
