Rob's Rea Sea Reefer 450

Where does one order the Reefer 450 or Cadlights 100/140g artisan for GVRD people? Seems like a nice upgrade from what I currently have.

There's a store in downtown Vancouver that is taking pre-orders for the Red Sea Reefer (I don't think I can post their name on the forum). Cadlights do not have distribution in Vancouver, but will ship direct to Canada.

Thank you, I was able to find the store online for the Red Sea.

Sucks that Cadlights don't have dealers here, though I did read in another thread that someone was able to pick one up in Manitoba, probably directly from their US website though. I dig the 140g just thinking that 6' is a really good size and it seems pretty plug and play.

I believe the Red Sea distributer also distributes CAD Lights so ask the dealer if he can also get CAD Lights.

Ordered the Red Sea Reefer 450 today. Delivery is expected in April. Time to start curing the dry rock and planning the rest of my equipment.

Any thoughts on a return pump. DC or AC? Those Jaebro's seem to get good reviews and for $80, is it possible to go wrong? Even if I get a back up.

I'm running the Jebao DC-12000 on my 190g and it works great. I never run it on full power as I don't need that much flow from my return (could have done the DC-9000 as I really don't go past the 4 out of 6 speeds). I have it set up with 2 returns and 3 feeds into the sump, 1 of which goes into the fugue area. It's been 4 months so far, and I like it. I used a mag 18 on my last 130g and looked at the external reef flos for this build. I like the DC power adjustments and checked a few tanks before I bought mine. Nice and quite as well, which was a concern for me.

While I am patiently awaiting, I have aquired a couple more pieces. Picked up a BRS Carbon/GFO reactor, grounding probe and sand.

Considering the Jabao DCT 12000 as a return pump with a split off to feed the reactor. The pump is oversized, I'm hoping it will keep it quieter and last longer as it won't be running at full power. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Input is much appreciated.

Also thinking about the Jabao Dosing unit.

The good thing about waiting this long for the tank is the rock has been cooking for 3 months now and should result in a short cycle!
