My phone takes such dark pictures with the aquarium lights on. All my furniture is dark brown (soon to change I hope, would like maybe some gray/brown tweed or something). Quote Link to comment

Cabinets and furniture go with black however I would still go white to contrast your are rug baseboards plus you already have the white primes! Quote Link to comment

It was NOT nice when we bought the house 3 years ago, light oak cabinets, dirty white formica and hunter green tile backsplash, and it was painted Mauve.... Quote Link to comment

hedgeclipper2 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 So I still haven't ordered the RSR 350 yet, and I MAY be considering the 425 XL now... However, got some good FTS of my current set ups: IM Nuvo 30L JBJ Rimless 10g: 1 Quote Link to comment
hedgeclipper2 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Finally got the Reefer 350 and it is up and running now Livestock is only a Clown, Blue/Green Chromis and a very curious Midas Blenny, looking for suggestions for more fishy friends, thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment

So far I like it. Only thing I don't like is that the return pump is in the far back corner, makes it kind of hard to get to/see. Have to slide the ATO reservoir to the left to get to it.

Cutter79 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Man. I want that sump! Does Redsea sell that sump separately? My tank is only 6 months old and I did not get that sump 😞 What do you have replacing 1 of your socks? You should also start a tank build thread for your tank would love to follow along.

I am not sure if they sell those separately, quick call to them should tell you. The new V3 sumps come with 1 filter sock and 1 filter cup now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cutter79 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Do you have a pic of the return cover? I was looking at mine this morning to add a third light but it doesn't look like there will be enough room for the AI bracket even with the tab removed. Quote Link to comment
hedgeclipper2 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Got some pictures during feeding time today, along with some photos of a few new additions Got 2 Banggai Cardinal's (supposed to be a bonded pair - we shall see) from LiveAquaria Got a beautiful Aussie Elegance Coral from Diver's Den at LA as well Moved over my Royal Gramma from my 20 gal IM Panorama, now the Bicolor Blenny has that whole tank to himself and he is loving it! I am at 6 fish in the Reefer 350 now, still wanting a Two Spot Bristletooth Tang to finish off the stocking, but I will wait for the tank to adjust to the new Cardinals and addition of the Royal Gramma Now for photos! 1 Quote Link to comment

Here you go, so what I had to do was just switch the orientation of the bracket, so I had to leave enough space behind the tank in between the wall to get to the screw. The other two lights are orientated the normal way with the screw facing into the tank. This actually makes it quite nice, because it moves the light in the center of the tank more forward so it is centered more evenly between the front glass and the overflow box, while the other two lights are centered evenly between the back glass and the front glass. In my mind that makes for better light spread, maybe I am just reef-crazy? SOMEDAY I am thinking about upgrading to the Kessil AP700 though 1 Quote Link to comment

Thank you for sharing, just saved me some frustration lol. Tank looks great! Happy you got your Elegance Coral! I looked into the Kessil AP700 after reading through Ninjas reef build. They go for $1100.00 up here and that was out of my budget when I started my build. I might actually go that direction in spring and move a prime to the fuge and save the other for a possible future nano tank. Quote Link to comment

Yeah I have been trying to keep my eye out for a used one, but they go so fast! I would probably sell 2 of my Prime's and keep one for my 20 gal tank that is currently lit with a Kessil A80, which is fine, but not amazing. Quote Link to comment

Cutter79 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Did you remove the notched part of your overflow cover by hand or did you cut it out? I will be installing my 3rd prime this weekend. Thanks Quote Link to comment

Looks like you already cut yours and it looks good! 1 Quote Link to comment
