SOLD!

Tank is down and clean. Everything in real good shape. Never had a sump under the stand so it's like new. Also I reinforced the stand with stainless steel brackets and the recall brace has been installed. Sump is still running  in the garage supporting  my stock tanks but will be available  once.i get it swapped with the new S1000 sump.

Hi all. I've got an S1000 on the way and will be taking  down my reefer XXL 750 over the next couple weeks. I've  got all the original components  in good working  condition  and the OE RO tank is still in the box. The tank also comes with a custom polycarbonate and mesh top. Thinking aroud $2500. Lights, pumps and other equipment are not uncluded in the sale. Located in Portland OR. Local pickup only.

True.  Thought about doing the same... but then I just decided to buy the new 750xxl instead!   Cant wait to see your new rig!  That much water in my living room would be too much since I cant put additional support under it. 

Looking good man!  Definitely made a nice difference getting rid of the corner overflows!  That was the worst part about the tank!!

Assuming you are re purposing the OM and closed loop parts for your new mega-ego setup?  

Too bad my copperband has caused us to be a clam free tank

That blasto looks amazing though!  At least I think its a blasto.

Hah. Funny thing is that my tank only pulls about 5amps on average these days with exception of the heaters. Used to be I had a 20amp dedicated circuit just for my lights!

Looks like it will fit the space much better than the old tank. Looks great!

Guess my place was a bit overdone by 90s standards. I've got a 400amp load center and a sub panel in the mechanical room.

I would only use GFIC around wet areas. Arc faults are really to sense faults like what you get when an electric blanket goes bad and gets a short that could cause a fire. Or poor wiring connections that are getting hot. Arc fault is not designed to save your life from electronic shock and the intervention isn't as quick as a GFIC. There is a reason arc faults are code for bedrooms and GFIC are for bath/kitchens.

All these reef tanks in the NW someone has got to need a nice return pump!!

Price gets good enough and I may grab it as a spare!

I would go tank in living room and plumb to basement. Could build a nice enclosed cabinet too so everything stays out of sight. Good luck on the project man, looks like you're keeping busy!

Most of it sold but somehow I still have most of what's needed to keep a tank going..

Is it because this hobby makes us equipment hoarders?!?

Oh so jealous! Nice to have everything nice and organized in a different room! Very nice! The Red Seas are awesome and love how organized all your equipment is! Do you want to come over and make all the crap in my sump look more organized? ...

Hah! No I dont think the wife would allow it! I have too many more projects and a 5 month old little guy to chase around! It's technically his tank anyway,  I'm just the maintenance guy

And besides... Moving without a tank is just too easy...   Need to keep things at lest a little challenging.

Haha. He is back in business! Didn't you sell your main tank and most of the gear?

Build update: MRC CCR-818 Calcium reactor up and running along with upgraded frag tank and MRC waste collector!  

Enough building up equipment for now. Time to start growing some corals!

All systems are go!  PH in the reactor has stabilized around 6.51 for ~24 hr.  Effluent rate is running 8ml/min and the bubble count is one every 2-3 seconds with the LP side at 15psi.  So far the solenoid has not come into play but will cut the CO2 at PH 6.4 if it were ever to go that low.  Baseline before starting the reactor a few days ago was CA of 372- Hanna, dkh around 9.5, mg ~1500.   Phosphate has been holding around  .03 - .04 on the Hanna low range checker. 

I still need to mount the pump controls but haven't decided where I want them quite yet.

Yeah. That's a nice one for sure.

Well in that case. Super male lineatus all the way. Lol. Best wrasse in the world. 

I have a feeling that will get expensive.

I'm interested. Why are you selling?

Thanks Jeff. Hope your are making a list. This will end up being my order + QT!

Hi,

Trying to figure out the next fish additions to my mixed reef tank (Zoos, LPS and starting with some SPS frags).  The tank is a red sea 750XXL and I have about 1000L of total system water volume.  core system/rock has been up for going on two years but the display was just swapped.

Current stock:

• Tangs: Powder blue, purple, whitetail bristletooth, blond naso, (just traded in a large desjardini that had outgrown the others and the tank very quickly)
• Golden Pygmy angel
• Copperband butterfly
• Pair of black ocellaris clowns

Not interested in triggers as cool looking as they are. 

Thinking about:

• Blue Star leopard wrasse pair
• watchman goby/pistol shrimp combo
• Royal dottyback trio

Any suggestions?

didn't loose any fisg. salt tank is still in the basement of the old house for right now. need to do some work here first :(

I did learn this though... I will never ever NEVER move a big aquarium again. easier to sell and start over.

think i'm wrong? grab a couple full buckets of wet sand and carry them up and down the stairs. let me know how that feels.
