Saltwater Adventures - My Build Thread

[LaneBrain]

A lot has been happening, so it’s been a while, so I have lots to catch up on…

I pulled the trigger, and I upgraded! I always wanted either a water box or red sea tank. They are so clean, looking, and not such a stitched together set up. @LoveTheReef had a great used option on a reefer 350 the white cabinet. I told my wife, and she actually agreed that I should get it!
For an extra cost, they delivered the tank, set it up, and transferred the contents of my old tank. Dre redid the aquascape and put coral where they should actually go. It’s a night and day difference!

Water Storage

I don’t have a place to store, massive amounts of fresh RO water, so I keep them in these 5 gallon jugs. I got them from another reefer, and they came with the caps with the plugs. I don’t know why it took me so long, but I replaced them with caps that will let the water flow quicker.

ATO Reservoir

My previous tank had a sump that included a refugium/ATO reservoir that was about 15 gallons. When I upgraded my tank, I was using a 5 gallon bucket. I hated the thought of buying an expensive acrylic box, but I wanted to hold more than 5 gallons, and use as little space as possible so I can fit a control board. @LoveTheReef had a 10 gallon from Proclear which I went home with.
