My kitchen tanks

The 250 is great- version 3 has the refugium in the sump. The only issue I had was that my first one was defective and cracked, but Red Sea replaced it without any issue.

I had seen they came out with a new sump for it. How much larger is it than the original? The sump size was one of my concerns. Almost wish they had an option to buy it less the price of the sump to have a custom one put in

The sump is about the same size- still super small. I am in process of working out a way to plumb my tanks to a basement sump to get more volume and a bigger refugium.

Starting the journey of prepping for basement sump. Having a direct waste line out going in kitchen and putting in PVC lines between floors to future fishroom area location as conduit for APEX extensions going in....

Red Sea replaced my cracked tank. New reef-scape.

A fellow Trekkie, I love it.

250 works beautifully. If I had to do over again, prob would have done the 350 for a little more DT space

Putting in the pvc box for the basement pipes

That is a quality set up right there!! Good job, everything looks organized and everything looks happy!

Direct waste line for cleaning tanks, 2” drains x2, 1.5” return line, conduit to pull APEX extenders. Phase one to move my sump to the future basement fish room is done.

Also did my head pressure calculations and it works out that these new runs only add 14’ head pressure, so return pump set up is going to be more reasonable then I thought. On to plan phase two.....

New waterbox reef finally arrived. Replacement/upgrade for our nano tank 14 gallons to 50 gallons . Also, Retrofitting the lagoon stand build to match kitchen better. Still waiting for cutouts for shelf and quartz bottom. Then will finish trim up and tie in tank to waterbox build. Looking forward to building these tanks out. Also, direct waste line for the automatic water changes working like a charm. Saying goodbye to the brutes in the kitchen soon.

Refurbished stand looking good with both sheets of quartz counters in place.... only need to get the shelf delivery today and trim and it will be done .
