I Finally Filled My New Red Sea Reefer 625 G2+

[@reefwithmee]

I’m a huge Red Sea fan! Love your system! Enjoy the journey and looking forward to following the build!

[@cristianroldan7139]

No way. Should’ve sold you my tank. I trade it for a bag of hot Cheetos

[@kingtidecorals]

So happy to see this tank rolling! Strong work yet again Remy!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

YES - gotta get to that stocking video asap. ~Remy

[@TopShelfAquatics]

CANNOT WAIT to see what we've got cooking together! Going to be awesome, tank is looking good Remy! -Blaine

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

YES!!! ~Remy

[@ryanwashington3330]

I'd love to see hydros! It's what I'm going with that on my new system. To see you document hydros your hydros journey like the ICP and aquabiomics would be a dream

[@discol76]

Looking forward to watching this grow.

[@datboi7599]

I love a good couple of wrasse! 2 tops but they are always amazing work horse to get in early, nice blenny!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Blennies have personalities for sure! This midas is already a fan favorite. ~Remy

[@maximegarnier7455]

Hey ! can you share your redsea light schedule ? do you use preset Redsea like 100% blue and 10%white ? or a custom ? can you do a PAR review on those redsea light ?

[@anthonylineberry]

I feel you on the big plastic tub. I've been running a 100gal tub with all my fish and coral for the last 3 months while I was in between tanks waiting for my new waterbox 230.6 to arrive and get it all setup. So over it! Just got water into the new setup this week though!

[@Razimuth]

Great build so far! I just deployed Hydros on my system and I love it so far. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

That's 2 suggestions for Hydros thus far! The next video will be fun! ~Remy

[@barrypontbriand2462]

Was told by Red Sea that with their eco system, Hydros and Apex will only be able to do turn on and off equiptment. I opted to just run the ReefBeat app and so far I’m having no issues.Im running 2 Red Sea reef tanks right now with ReefBeat. Like you Remi , both my aquariums(300Xl and 200) are 100% Red Sea eco systems except for the heater, UV, GFO and CO2 scrubber. I just completed setting up the new Max Nano G2+ tonight and that will be another Red Sea eco system.

[@tcmarineaddiction6609]

Nice job Remy tanks going to be awesome to watch the progress

[@fletcherwright7042]

Nice set up. Do you have redsea reef 160 leds? or the 90.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Those are the 160's. We'll get into lighting a bit in the next episode. Initial PAR readings are decent! ~Remy

[@bryansimms7499]

I started out with Apex for a controller but used Hydros in my latest and I’ve been really happy with Hydros. I’d like to see you test out hydros on this system and get your feedback on how it works and compare it to other controllers you’ve used

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

4th Hydros suggestion. Thank you! ~Remy

[@travertinepico751]

I did the tub of sand in my sump. So far so good. My one tank with sand is great and stable with growth but gets so dirty and hard to clean without tanking the no3/po4 at the same time. The Filter sock on the drain should keep the sump sand from getting too full of detritus and uneaten food.

[@atkinsnatureaquariums3552]

Looking nice Remy! I use a hydros controller and I'm happy with it, does what I tell it to do and easy to program. Centropyge argi, the pygmy angel, been good with me in my mixed reef, though not the best polyp extension on my acropora. So with caution

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

3rd Hydros rec....I love the whole centropyge genus. I'm a sucker for the dwarf angels. ~Remy

[@tsccreative]

I believe your crab is a shore crab. I had one in my DT that came with some rock. While all crabs can be different, mine was a great scavenger and did not touch any of my corals. They are great escape artists though. In fact mine got out of my tank and ended up two tanks away.

[@scottallan6770]

😳🤣🤣

[@xXRadioRamboXx]

Pom Pom crab without the pom poms 😂

[@Krondalf]

Yes, super aquarium safe!

[@CharlesJohnston-gg1rp]

I have the same tank. I saw in one of your videos of your 625. You have 2 Red Sea 45 pumps. I have the same ones in my tank. You have one of them half way down on one side and the other side up at the top. What was the reason for that. I have both of my pumps at the top on both sides.

[@jona.corkey8933]

Nice new tank Remy. Hope all is well.

[@Chris_Mack1987]

How is your Weeping Willow going I love that coral is half the reason I want to get into this reefing scene i just hope i can get one hear in Australia

[@justnanoreefs3172]

Tanks looking amwsome👏 👏 bravo and my guess on the first fush in there is the molly miller blenny

[@TheReefCloverson]

Looking awesome Remy!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Thanks! Excited for the next phase! ~Remy

[@JustinYeager]

The most exciting thing I've had in ages is a harem of pygmy angels (up to 8 Centropyge argi), as well as shoals of masked gobies (C. personatus). Give it a try.

[@jackburgess357]

This looks like a common sand crab that you will find on the beach😊

[@BryznsReef]

Awesome to see this tank up Remy! A cool fish I enjoyed having is my yellow assessor I think jake had one in the past too although theyre a bit pricey

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I've got one in the lagoon! Love that little fish. I'm just afraid I'll never see him if I put him in the big tank. He loves hiding in the rock work. ~Remy

[@justinbarnes6833]

So the crab seems like a standard swimmers crab/mud crab. They are everywhere here in Florida. However it is hard to tell without seeing the claws. Can you post another video or post on IG pics of the claws?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I'll see if I can catch him on camera! I need just a tad more light for the camera. ~Remy

[@lear31awalker48]

STL trans plant to Tampa Bay. That is a baby fiddler crab, will start to try and get out of the sub as it gets bigger. Best controller, have 2 6 plug Alexa power strips on my tank. Can turn all items on and off from my phone.

[@Jett-Jackson]

Bro watching from day one to now what an upgrade ! Looks so much better they taking care of you over there at reef builders lol. I’d have to say looks like bicolor blenny if I had to guess

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Thank you for the comment! It's been quite a roller coaster over the past 5 years or so. I'm so pumped to get this tank stocked with fish and coral! ~Remy

[@Joseph-pr2lq]

Can never go wrong with a geometric Pygmy hawk

[@dnrv4530]

It would be so awesome to have a nano reef tank up date even tho we all know it wont be the same.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

The nano in the studio? ~Remy

[@BIG-ES-]

I would might as well set up that profilux. I just use mine for monitoring ph. Great video Remy, keep it up brother

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It's there right!? In the same boat, love the live monitoring of PH. ~Remy

[@BIG-ES-]

@@ReefBuildersVideo Set that baby up! I love GHL gear with a passion. Gotta love the German reefers

[@allennewland9749]

It's been 3 months now. Any updates on this new tank?

[@PerformanceFirearmsChannel]

Looks like possibly a mangrove crab

[@jamesgillum2382]

Sa-wheat tank! Looking forward to watching it mature over time.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Me too! ~Remy

[@rowkim8194]

Nice! Please get lid for your tank. fish will jump especially in a new tank.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Lid is in the works! Have some pond netting in the meantime. ~Remy

[@rowkim8194]

Nice!

[@garyjenson1326]

I did the same thing with my sand from Tampa bay. Btw I got one of those crabs too. He stayed in my sump but I think the gorilla crab that came with the package got him.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Thankfully, I haven't seen any gorilla grabs yet. It's insane how many Caribbean crab species there are...he can stay in the sump for the time being. ~Remy

[@queencityreefs]

Looking good 👌💯✌️

[@thomasdirocco]

I tried looking up the crab on the TBS hitchhiker page as well as others but still can't identify! Maybe just let it chill in the sump forever.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I'll leave him in there he finds a way out...lol. I come down and he's just chillin outside the tank! ~Remy

[@jakewhite8630]

Is that your Molly Miller Blenny in the new tank? I can't wait to see more updates on the tank!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It's a blenny for sure! Not the MM though. ~Remy

[@DoYouEvenFishTank]

Congrats

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Thanks! ~Remy

[@KelsiGuidry]

I’m 98% sure that’s a Midus Blenny! If so, excellent choice for a first fish!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Nailed it!! Love this little dude's personality already! ~Remy

[@refulgent123]

Lawn mower blenny!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

You're half right! It's a blenny....but it's a Midas! ~Remy

[@tedblack2163]

As for model citizens in a tank, Golden Cuban Basslet. Swimming in your tank, would that be your blenny.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Those basslets are beauties! I have a golden assessor in another tank - one of my favs. ~Remy

[@EIY_Kumar]

is that a midas blenny ?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yep! My kids named him Bagel. Bagel the Blenny lol! ~Remy

[@EIY_Kumar]

@@ReefBuildersVideo That's a Happy Looking Blenny Looking forward to see all the new fishes and corals 🤘🤘

[@islandreef5292]

Finally!!!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I knowwwwwwwwww ~Remy

[@DRbagOdonuts]

Quarantine those corals!!!

[@322sheffield]

It's a Midas Blenny swimming around

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

You got it! Long body and bright! ~Remy

[@insane_reefer3719]

Definitely a midas blenny

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

NAILED IT. He's already got an awesome personality too! ~Remy

[@D4N_H1LL]

where is the next update ?

[@islandreef5292]

Is that a second new tank right behind you???!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It tis! That's the 4ft tideline I've been talking about forever! ~Remy

[@gregvanfleet5586]

Could it be a porcelain crab?

[@Arie_Idaho_Reef]

Do reef moonshiners!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I've thought about it. Gonna let it settle in for a few months first. ~Remy

[@lakeshiamills1454]

personally I don't use controllers, I'd love to try it one day but unfortunately that are massively out of my budget. If money was no object I'd definitely add a controller for my reef and for my freshwater system as well!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

For the most part, the Reefbeat app kinda acts like a controller. I'd just love live PH readings. I know I don't have to get a full controller for that but we'll see. Step by step! ~Remy

[@ahmedelzanfally9451]

Would be great if you don't use controller as most of us reefers don't have it so it would give realistic experience for most of us to learn from.❤

[@geoffhunt7965]

Definitely that chubby blenny is in your tank

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Close! A midas! ~Remy

[@braydenboudreau5875]

Blue spot jaw fish

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Oh man...that would be a power move! Lol. First fish is $250. You're close! Right body type for sure! ~Remy

[@dannycastaneda1974]

Looks like a midas blenny

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

You got it! ~Remy

[@dusk1947]

Why would you get ridiculed for sand in the sump? The idea works in theory, don't know if it will work in practice. Let us know how it goes... It may or may not benefit the succession that will take place in the display. But it certainly should help moderate the water chemistry. And hack, I'd probably keep it in the sump and use it for substrate in a refugium

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Ridicule for spending a ton on sand and then not properly displaying it! I'm definitely going to use some in the next build. It's gorgeous! ~Remy

[@EugeneRu777]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ljsreefs]

Midas Blenny

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Nailed it! It's a lively one! ~Remy

[@scubaguy5389]

look like a pom pom crab or boxer crab from the backside. just a guess

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Definitely has the legs of a pom pom...However, I've got one in another tank and after comparing the body it's definitely not. Still on the hunt! ~Remy

[@bobmcrae1178]

I just got my red sea 525 about a month ago.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Keep us posted! How are you liking it so far? ~Remy

[@bobmcrae1178]

It's been good so far. Had to get a replacement ato from redsea pump was very loud. Not enough room for all the electronics and ato tank, so bought a cabinet to store all the controllers and wires.

[@mariobetancourt9549]

That looks like a Midas blenny.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Nailed it! ~Remy

[@gomisreef]

Hydros please

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Been thinking about it! ~Remy

[@savoieer]

Canary blenny I think.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Similar colors, especially from a distance...it's a Midas! ~Remy

[@geoffhunt7965]

Blenny

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It's definitely a blenny - of the midas variety! ~Remy

[@jcfaur77]

Midas blenny

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Easy peasy! Nailed it! ~Remy

[@garyjenson1326]

LL a midas blenny

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Nailed it! ~Remy

[@jabarsaqualife111]

Why did he switch to reef builder his other his channel was waaay better

[@masiehmitra8273]

Looks like a midas blenny to me

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Looks like YOU'RE RIGHT! ~Remy

[@filipinoreefer]

No controller. Keep it simple. Encourage broke people get into the hobby with bigger tanks and no controller.

[@Chefsoen]

Midas blenny

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

BINGO! ~Remy
