red sea 250

Howdy, I have a red sea reefer 250 with stock sump. I have the reef octopus 110 INT skimmer. Needs to be in 6 inches of water but i currently have my sump level at 9 and i do kind of like it at 9 inches. So either i will buy a skimmer stand or DIY this project. Which could be a good time killer...

Hello all, I am setting up a new build (red sea reefer 250) I bought an reef octopus varios 2 for my return pump. I plan on being SPS in this setup. Not using the return pump as my primary flow to the sticks.. I've taken a liking to the red sea gyres lately and the price point they have is...

I have a RedSea Reefer 250 and whenever I turn off the return pump to feed my fish, it creates a powerful vacuum when it sucks water back into the sump. It makes me worried about the safety of the fish in my tank since the force is enough to tear a small fish in half if it gets too close. Is...

I've been postponing creating this thread for a while lol. So here is my newest tank, running since July 2019. It’s my third tank in 11 years of this hobby. Starting with the specs! Tank: Red Sea Reefer 250 (v3) Lighting: Maxspect Recurve 90 240w Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve A8 Return: Reef...

I HATE this sump, too small no options to put anything in etc. If you have post some details and pics. I can't fit anything else in mine and serviceability is very difficult.

FTS As 07/18/2020 Hi! First of all a little of my background, in 2011 I started my first aquarium with a 55 Gal tank i got on Craiglist, for that aquarium I decided to do a low to none maintenance planted native freshwater tank, I used dirt and local lake bed sand as substrate, with several...

Hi, I’ve asked this question previously but slightly differently. I am getting my Red Sea 250 prepped to start getting into corals. Mixed at first with SPS eventually. I’ve narrowed down the lighting to the XR15 G5 and Hydra 32. The XR15 is just out of what I wanted to spend but willing to if...

After a couple days of research on lighting I figured I would throw this back out there? What do you recommend for LED lighting on a Red Sea 250. Was thinking two primes or two hydra 32’s but don’t want to break the bank completely. I do like AI due to the app functionality. Trying to stay away...

Hey everyone! I figured I'd start a build thread for this new tank I just started, seems to be what all the cool kids are doing these days :D. I've been keeping aquariums for around 10 years now, most of which have been freshwater planted tanks. After running a few high tech tanks I decided that...

Hi, I am new to Reefing after 11 years of freshwater. I got myself a Reefer 250 to start with. The return pump I ordered (Sicce Syncra Silent 4.0) did not come with the 5/8" adaptor for the return line the sump came with. I thought it did but that was my fault. I have no plumbing skills :). What...

Hi all, looking for some help & advice from my fellow reefers. I have a new RedSea Reefer 250 v3 that I’m just about to set up and I’m trying to get my head around best sump design and equipment placement. At the moment and with the equipment I already own I’m thinking doing something like...

Looking for $1,500 for everything. Not parting out at this time trying to sell as a package. Everything is in great shape.

This will be my third reef tank over the 15+ years I have been in the hobby, but this one will be special. Heck, this one already is special! Background: My current tank is a standard 29 gallon, Aqueon aquarium that my then girlfriend and I won at the MAX Aquarium Expo in 2016. We spent time...

I currently do not have a tank and have been out of the hobby for about 5 years. I do have limited experience and have maintained an LPS dominate cube and a 75 FOWLR in the past. In the near future I will be doing a mixed reef, bare bottom Red Sea Reefer 250 running on the Triton method. My...

This will be my first saltwater aquarium. I have wanted to get into this hobby for well over a decade. I have been watching a ton of YouTube video's and been doing a lot of research on keeping a saltwater aquarium. I still feel like i have no idea what i am doing. Please feel free to give me...
