red sea reefer tanks?

[CHEAPREEF]

I had a Red Sea Reefer Nano for almost 2 years before I upgraded. Tank and stand are top notch, loved the look and quality. The biggest problem I had with my Nano is the massive amount of space the overflow takes up, you wind up with 13" front to back max. If I were to do a nano again like the RSR I would get a custom tank built with external overflow.

So I've decided to move forward and get the reefer 170. Im driving out to pick it up tommorow. I originally thought the tank was empty but have doundnout that is not the case. Im torn between just setting it up right away and putting everything back in or cleaning it all, start the cycle over and finding homes for the occupants. I went to Big Als today to see if they would give any credit towards fish down the road but they said nope.

Current occupants are (what I was told, and dont have more info on them)
- 1 clownfish
- 1 cardinal
- 1 bicolor blenny
- 1 cleaner shrimp
- 1 royal gramma
- a few snails and some zoas

Im in the Edmonton are if anyone is interested in any of these.

My plan for occupants is 2 clownfish (black and white), and maybe keeping the blenny and the shrimp. Basically if anyone wants the cardiinal they are welcome to pick it up from me in Beaumont tmmrw. (Ill be looking at the occupants and state of the tank tmmrw, might be getting rid of all the occupants if the system isnt where I want it to be)

The reefer come with a icecap k2-50 skimmer, a carbon reactor, kessil a350 and of course the reefer 170 plus a bunch of extras (live rock, salt, etc...) Should he a fun day.

I might be intersted in the Cardinal and Royal Gramma, can you PM the details. Any idea how long they were in the tank for?

Ended up picking up the red sea reefer 170 today. was a long drive there and back to get it. Helped tear it down and transported the livestock home. Ended up putting them in a 20 gallon quarantine tank with their live rock and water. installed an RO DI and made about 50 gallons of water. Cleaned equipment until I could not clean anymore (lots more to do). Hopefully will be able to put water into it by the middle of the week and begin the process of the cycle .
