RedSea 425XL-G1 Build

[MadReefer]

I'd be inclined to get your support off of the dirt, it could lead to wood rot. Perhaps stone block or pavers with a moister barrier in between the block and wood.

By that time I'll be dead or done with the hobby.

Tank full. Need 10g more for sump but with displacement from rock and sand will wait. My spare heater i don't think is working well so heading to other house to take one from DT.

 

[MadReefer]

Moved two small rocks in old sump to new tank. I have a muscle, I think, alive on one rock.

 

[MadReefer]

Tank full. Salinity 1.025 and temp 72. Added 60lbs of new live sand, used same lights and return pump.
Added some rock from old tank and hope to move everything over by Sun; Mon at the latest.
Will eventually post more pics.

 

[MadReefer]

All rocks are in but left side looks cluttered. Will move pieces around and see.

How does everyone setup their dosing pump with the Red Sea stand? The pic below is next to the sump section. There is no opening to run the dosing lines.
Can I drill a few holes near the front of this board and feed them threw or will that cause a stand problem?

I thought about that but seems like a long way around. I will try that 1st and see.

Thx

Should be a short run if you position the pumps close, and if you are using Red Sea tubes, they give you like 10 feet

 

[MadReefer]

Will have to look for Red Sea tubes.

Moved all inhabitants over today. Now to find best place to put the coral.

Found many duplicate coral and will be getting rid of them.

 

[MadReefer]

Some pics. Will move torch or hammer to left side soon.

 

[MadReefer]

Not sure why I keep getting an error posting pics on 1st attempt.

 

[MadReefer]

I added a few but only uploads one pic.

I wanna see those blastos in person, I am a sucker for fluffy blastos. Is the heater not Calibrated right? It says 70? I’m glad to see the digi stil kicking.

 

[MadReefer]

John, not sure what's up with heater. I have another in the sump. Both set at 77. Water feels warm and everything looks good. I forgot to grab my Inkburd yesterday. Will pick it up tomorrow and set it up.

The digi fell so back side is dead but this side was in full light.

 

[MadReefer]

Rearranged some coral and added the original powerheads. Tucked wires away in cabinet as grandkids are coming over. Its sloppy but safe.
I did figure out second heater was set to 68. Now both heaters are set to 77. Still need my Inkbird.
