I think when i get more money i will get this tank. Currently have a nano tank for the past year (20g) honestly its just been hard work looking after it. swings are crazy fast

Nice, i am looking for a 425xl at the moment as my first reeftank. exciting times, i will be going for a mixed reef and then dive into sps with time if all goes well. also want to emphasize on tankbred fish except for some work force maybe.

I’ve got a new found appreciation for soft corals, I’m sure I’ll have a few in there :)

Yes larger tanks are more pricey and you get that pay to win with the stability! I agree and I have a 10 planted fresh water with beach sand for substrate and when my alarm clock goes off in the morning I test the tank after using the bathroom every day my 96 gallon black water tank has more live stock and same substrate I test it weekly maybe and have a heavy plant load and is very stable my 500 gallon tank I think I tested two months ago? Maybe it has no swings dispite having 300 neon tetras, otocats that get veggies daily 10 female betta and odd balls going in it

500 gallon is huge!

Okay a suggestion for possible equipment although "expensive". Profilux 4 set with additional level sensor for ATO backup. The physical ATO works well on the redsea reefer until it gets blocked or fails for another reason. For me (having had it blocked) it's a point of failure which I feel needs redundancy. You may also think the reservoir is too small after a short while. With the profilux 4, possibly KH director and their shortly to be introduced ION Director you can potentially automate a lot of your testing to backup your red sea manual test kits. It could also be a more accurate, frequent test to show trends which may be of interest and will show effects of the redsea products more accurately. Not sure if adding a controller of some sort would break your terms/conditions with Redsea though. It would certainly be interesting to see an alternative to the (not easily available in mainland europe) neptune trident.

I love setting up new tanks that are not a set

@PrestigeReef

I think it depends your level of experience in the hobby, as to if you find this enjoyable

Picking a biotope and sticking for that region would be great to see. It would also give RedSea Fish direction on where to take their equipment. For example open reef beat, select GBR, red Sea, Fiji, Hawaii, cook islands etc and then select lagoon, reef face etc then the flow the lighting and heating / cooling schedule exactly copying that regions year round shifts. If all I have to think about is the animals then I want to pick a region and have my environment replicate that region...

I love the idea of male and female pairs of fish. Sometimes hard to source, but worth the effort, I think. But I’m biased - I have three such pairs and consider them the most interesting of all my 11 fish. Mind you, I wouldn’t be without my flame hawkfish.....😁 But you have extensive fish experience so I’m sure you’ll put together something fantastic. 👍🏻👍🏻

Angelfish reef tank. I realize it will be hard to find angelfish that don’t eat corals but I’d say it’s usually 50/50. Currently I have 5 Pygmy angels and a tiger angel in my 100 gallon display and they do very well at never nipping my corals. You could also get a tang or two

Hey I’m thinking about buying a Red Sea reefer 525xl and sump for £310 do you think this is a good idea even though it doesn’t have plumbing or a stand?

Im seriously struggling to get my new 350 quiet

I have a very unconventional tank atm which I won’t go into details about so I don’t get slaughtered by the tank police. Anyway, I’m thinking of getting this tank and I’m fairly new to hobby, can you do the video on the maintenance of this tank once it’s properly up and a running. I want to see how realistic it is for me before spending the money ! It’s a lovely looking tank.

For all new reefer please use (real reef rock ore caribsea live rock) its so easy. And you don.t have pest animals. And in my case the phosfate level is always to low i need to adit always. So in my opinion art live rock are better and in same way more eco friendley. But use a good bacteria colonie.

Stock it with loads of tiny fish

@@PrestigeReef ok.. How about a euphyllia garden all colors

I wouldn't use the plumbing that came with the RedSea, myself. The 90degree elbows on the return pump are greatly reducing the pump's return pressure and adding unnecessary stress to wear out the pump faster. And the horizontal drain pipe is one big sediment trap you can't access, very poor design choices IMO.
