    My RedSea Reefer 350

    Afternoon,

    Got a RedSea Reefer 350 yesterday. Some minor scratches, no chips or any major damage. Paid £400 for it. Bargain if you ask me.

    So, today’s project was to do the following:
    1. Get the tank out of the van. (heavy)
    2. Get the sump out of the van. Leave the cabinet in the van for now. (deceptively heavy)
    3. Deep clean the tank, dry & polish it. (All looks good, few minor scratches)
    4. Empty the sump of all of its many filters & tropical water. (waaaay to many filter bits for my likings)
    5. Power hose the sump (horrendous state). dry and polish it. (rinse)
    6. Fill the tank with tap water to make sure it’s watertight. (it’s watertight)
    7. Clean & check all electrical workings work. (everything works)
    8. Look at the strip LED Fluval light in dismay.
    9. Take apart return flow pipe work. (A full colony of slugs & snails!!!)
    10. Clean & make sure ‘o-rings‘ on pipework are not decayed. (All look good to me)
    11. Clean all pipework. (Completed)
    12. Order RO 4 stage unit. (Coming on Tuesday)

    Today has been a good day.

    On the ‘to-do’ list isnot in priority order)
    1. RedSea 90 lights
    2. 2 x wavemakers
    3. Skimmer
    4. Fill it with sand
    5. Clean cabinet and put it in place.
    6. Get live rock.
    7. Get some water in there
    8. Get filters for sump
    9. Order the plastic bits to hold the filter socks. They were missing

    I’ll post some pictures shortly.
