Think found my new tank. Gotta contact the seller, and hope it's still available.
That a sweet looking tank. Great price.

What do you guys think of this? I'm trying to find one to run my return pumps in case we lose power etc
I got the ef river pro. Kind of expensive unless in a big sale. Works great. I use the 12v dc stepped up to 24v and run return and waves pumps. No issues. If I leave town only return. Will recharge lifepo battery in about an hour if empty. Lots of other power station available online...

As long as it's not tempered you can drill it. It's nerve racking at first but it's easy.
That what I was thinking too. 60 gal pre-drilled and stand for $200. That's a steal.
Thats a seapora/deep blue. You have to look at their model booklet to see which panels on which versions are tempered. Some are all tempered, some are non-tempered, some only the bottom is tempered.

All the reef readys are predrilled with a tempered bottom glass, forget if the sides are or not.

The regular river is 256 watt hour and that will not last very long

The best priced bundles are cellpowa


The 600 is over twice the runtime For $360

The 1000 is 4x the runtime for $468

Both cellpowa include 100w panels

That river comes with a low wattage 45w panel. The panel watts is what comes out to recharge/run devices. 45w is a weak sauce panel that will take forever. Plus that assume 100% efficiency and in reality you get 60-80% on average. That 45w panel will output 20ish watts which can barely sustain our gear, if at all. Recharging will take forever. 45w is super entry level

Theyre all kinda trash. Youncan get a group 31 battery for $178 or less. You can get a 2k sine wave inverter for a few hundred. You can get an automatic failover switch for sub $80.

With the above you can run your entire reef for hours. You could run a return pump/wave makers for at least a day but you'd have to calculate amp hours to know for sure how many days. Likely 2-3 is my guess.

With a 5 year old trolling motor battery i was able to run my entire reef at peak light for a couple hours replacing my main electrical panel

Hello everyone! this should be a good week. Not sure if i'll buy anything this sale, have to see how temping it is.

The stuff I bought last time from SBB has grown so well its taking over my tank, don't have much room left.
we all say this, and end up with a brownie

Your trolling motor battery shouldn’t be run past 50% capacity. You probably didn’t have much more life in it last your repair job

FYI I have a big blue cellpowa 600 running my return pump on my 75g reef. It’s a 300$ power station that I got on sale near a holiday for $250

I unplugged it from the wall to simulate an outage
