I was wondering when these tanks were going to hit the market in Canada. Nice looking setup. You'll have to let us know how the stock skimmer works out for you in the long run.

Also, how easy is it to fill the auto top off reservoir on this system as I know they have it tucked away in the back bottom portion below the rear overflow?

Here is a picture of my 250 stocked before move to the 500



Red Sea does say it will be upgradable to LED lights , I guess will wait and see. I do know at least one guy that has installed Vega's in the stock light canopy.

The RTO reservoir is great, very easy to fill and seems to hold about a weeks worth of evaporation

First lift up the rear light


Open the reservoir lid and fill



As for the stock CSkim skimmer I guess I will let you know, over on another site they seem to be saying its ok, not heard great but at least doing the job.

I don't think you're doing this right. When I topoff my nano I consistently pour a bit down the outside of the tank as well. Maybe practice with a smaller container until you get the hang of it.

A few more pictures, also finally got word that the Apex controller was being shipped! It's been back ordered for over a month!
With that I am getting the usual Temp, PH, plus the Ecotech module and floor leak detector.
