Txplicit Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 So I pulled the trigger on a Red Sea Reefer 350 and all (all that I can foresee) needed equipment. *RSR350 *Simplicity 2100 DC return pump *Simplicity DC240 protein skimmer *2x Radion xr15 gen4 pro *1x Radion xr30 gen4 pro for center tank *Inkbird dual stage controller with 300watt finnex titanium heater *2x Aquamaxx standard size reactors *Coral life twist turbo 3x UV *Hydrofil 5 gallon Ato reservoir *Tunze 3155 osomlator ato *Jebao dp4 dosing pump (trying dosing so went cheap) will upgrade to bubble magus down the road *maxspect gyre xf350 2 pump and controller *60lbs marco rocks *marco mortar kit *1/4" acrylic rods for aquascaping reinforcement *2x 1/2" bulkheads to convert oem ato into fuge *AI fuge light *Ai Tank mount *60lb special grade argonite live sand *Dr Tim's 1 and only I'm like a kid waiting on Christmas delivery. Red Sea has yet to contact me about drop ship bu then it's the holidays so I figure I'll be patient. Planning on hard plumbing everything together and building a storage cabinet next to the tank for controllers and cable management. I'll be posting pics and updates on hard plumbing and/or equipment reviews. Wish me luck y'all. 1 Quote Link to comment
