Another Route 3 Rookie

[Kens Bees]

New to SW but not aquariums as I always had at least one as a kid and much younger adult. Recently fell in to a nice deal for a Red Sea Max 250 that was running and home to one lone damsel. Did the shuffle from Springfield to Billerica and had it running again in under 12 (long) hours! Put in a new skimmer tonight and plan to revamp the AIO sump a bit with the new room. The hood cooling fans need updating, and the lights, but the pumps are functional and quiet. By the time I think I'm done with it I'm sure I'll have spent twice what a brand new reefer would have set me back, but where's the fun in that?

I'm a commercial beekeeper. I'll trade honey for advice, wisdom and good lies.
