You took the words right out of my mouth... but Brad, are you the one to really be complaining about no pics in a thread? :lol:

Looking forward to your progress!

Recieved delivery of the loooong awaited Red Sea Reefer 450 on Wednesday.

It is very well finished. Jeff was right, comparable to the Elos at a fraction of the price.

Mods - Please rename the thread to "Rob's Red Sea Reefer 450" Also, is there any way to increase my upload file quota?

Very excited to get this build off the ground. Here are the first pics.

Nice boxes! :D
Easiest way of posting pics right into your post is opening a free photobucket account and copying the IMG file into your post. The full pic will then be seen on your posts :)

HI Rob, good to hear you received your reefer 450 already. I pre-ordered the white one the same day as you too, I was just wondering where did you order your 450?(Downtown LFS or Burnaby Brighton?) And what color did you order?
Hope I can get mine soon. Thanks, enjoy your new tank.

You did a leak test inside your house? That's not the typically recommended action. :D
