Hey Everyone,
I’m looking to pull the trigger this weekend on a used Red Sea Reefer Nano. I’ve been out of the hobby over 10 years, a lot of which had to do with maintenance/time requirements. I’m out of college now with a larger budget so I hope to acquire some upgrades to make this tank as easy as possible.
I’m wondering what y’all think of price of this setup I’m about to purchase, and what should be upgraded? System is 4yrs old. Supposedly good working order for $650:
-Red Sea Reefer Nano 21g display/7g sump w/stand
-NanoBox Duo Plus M LED
-Sicce Syncra 2.0
-Neptune ATK V2
-Bubble Magus NAC3.5 Protein Skimmer
-Aqueon Pro 100w heater
-Hydor Koralia Nano 425gph Powerhead
I still have an MP10 from my previous tank that I will use.
So far I’m looking at adding (as budget permits):
-BRS 4-Stage Value 75GPD RO/DI System
-BRS GFO & Carbon Reactor (not sure if it will fit in sump yet)
-Neptune ApexEL Controller
-Neptune DOS – Dosing and Fluid Metering System
This tank would mainly be softies and zoas with a clown fish or two (because Finding Nemo and I have a 4yo) and a cleaner shrimp.
Definitely interested to hear what y’all think about the existing equipment in this purchase, whether it’s a fair price, and if I left anything off my “bucket list?”
Thanks!
