  1. Unfortunately the tank cracked after falling off the dolly.

    I still have:

    • Aqualife 48 inch hybrid fixture $150
    • Skimz SM167 DC skimmer with Avast Neck cleaner $200
    • Reef Octopus elite 150 skimmer $150
    • Crystal Reef Aquatics RSR350 triton sump for Reefer 350 $180
    • Stock Reefer 350 Gen 2 sump $20

    Redsea Reefer 350 stand $Free

  2. I am selling my Reefer 350, I have the original and a custom sump crystal reef aquatics rsr350 available for it.The stand was modified with a control board on the right side to more easily mount your power outlets and or apex equipment.

    The tank is in working order and still running I am going to take it down this week (upgraded to a new 200 gallon tank).

    $700. or $780 with skimz DC skimmer that fits the customer sump

    Changes are coming to the 130! Yesterday I received the Exotic Marine Overflow I ordered. Taylor is great to work with. I sent him the drilling template I got from Planet Aquarium. He sent me a template of where the holes would be placed on the boxes to compare to the actual tank. One hole was off 1/4" so he did a 2nd template and sent which was perfect. This thing is rock solid. The external box basically has eurobracing as the top piece so the entire box is open. The Tideline overflow from PA has two separate lids so the piece in-between covers the center drain and is a pain to try to work around. The lid for the external box is also 3 layers so that shouldn't warp. The internal box is open on top and has two braces to also help prevent warping. On the internal Tideline box the weir is removable. The bottom of the removable panel is about an inch and half below the water line. Once and only once I removed it to look inside not thinking and my heart stopped when I heard the sudden rush of water down the drain. Luckily the sump was large enough to handle the water that drained before I could get the panel back on.

    You can see the external box sits slightly higher than the internal. On the Tideline the external is lower. To prevent a loud waterfall noise I had to raise the two emergency overflow pipes as high as possible. Water level in it has to stay about 1/4" from the top of the box...any lower and you start getting the waterfall effect. I placed the external box up to the current box and I think I'm only going to have to alter my main drain line because the hole for it is about an inch closer to the right side of the box. I'll get more pics as I work on it.

    Hey Jimbo 

    I am thinking about getting the PA 150 and wanted to know more info on your overflow experience. Did you have the 16 or 20 inch version? Would you have had PA do anthing different as far as drilling the overflow holes or was exotic marine able to compensate for  the 1/4 inch difference?

  4. I am thinking about ordering 2 100 gallon water storage tanks for my salt water and R/O water. It looks like I can order up to 4 with no increase in freight. I need 2 so if anyone else wants to get a couple it would save on some of the freight. The shipping is $82.00 for 4 so If I get 2 that would leave 2 more tanks available plus $20 to ship.

    I will probably order in a couple weeks so think it over. These tanks are not easy to get locally.

    Here is a link to the tanks.

  5. Red bug treatment with interceptor is not a big deal. I would remove the crabs you really care about and dose. I have not seen a shrimp die from Interceptor at a regular dose. I have dose at over 2 times the recommendations and had crabs and Shrimp live no problem. Just don't take the chance if it's an animal you really care about. I would do a whole tank and then re dose in 7 days. You dint need to do a huge water change. I usually run carbon 12 hours after dosing.
