red sea

Hi everyone, I'm still on the fence about getting either a Red Sea Reefer 625 or 750 v3. Anyone prefer one over the other? I know bigger is usually better, but wanted to double check since I've heard some sketchy things about the 750...

When the syringe reads 0.3ml on the Alk Test kit from Red Sea what is the value? I get confused when reading it backwards if anyone can help that would be great thanks a bunch. Maybe a photo with some pointers on it also to help others out if they need to learn to read it also.

Hey Everyone, I’m looking to pull the trigger this weekend on a used Red Sea Reefer Nano. I’ve been out of the hobby over 10 years, a lot of which had to do with maintenance/time requirements. I’m out of college now with a larger budget so I hope to acquire some upgrades to make this tank as...

Hey everyone! Finally saved up for my dream aquarium and made the purchase. After anxiously waiting for 3 weeks it finally shipped last Friday. Little bit of background. I broke down my 75 gallon and sold it so I could put the 350 in its place. I set up a 20 long and cycled it before doing...

I am getting a Red Sea Reefer 750 xxl and I am curious if I should get three of the AP9X Kessil lights or if two would suffice in a mixed reef? Tank is 71”x24”x24”. F

I have narrowed it down to two different skimmers I cant decide between for my new system. One is the Red Sea RSK300 and the other is the Reef Octopus 150INT 6". I know both have good reviews but I have read the pump on the Reef Octopus is better and quieter. Anyone have any input on either...

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 Everyone, So I am about 2 months into the hobby and it feels like its been an eternity since I started but I have learned so much and have tried things that some people have told me not to try and have been successful so I am going to share my recent photos of my build and hopefully you...

I had a couple of questions in relevance to a shipping timeline and process of receiving the actual aquarium. - How long or average wait time did you go through to get your aquarium on your doorstep? - Not really familiar with drop shipping but seems its straight forward? - Do they contact me...

I currently have a 36 gallon bow front tank with a canister filter which has been up and running for 1 year now. Been an amazing learning experience and it has taken some effort to keep it stable. Finally decided that I would get a "real" reef tank with a legitimate setup. With the exception of...

Hey guys , so I’ve had multiple saltwater fish tanks for a while now and have always wanted a Red Sea reefer , if I got one it would probably be a 100 gallon. I do have one old model that’s only 30 gallons but it’s very old so there’s nothing new to it . I’m not sure if I really understand the...

Hey all, I just dosed my last bit of Red Sea (RS) magnesium this morning and calcium plus isn’t far behind. Instead of reordering the Red Sea I’ve had my eye on the Tropic Marin ALL-FOR-REEF BRS has some great reviews and it’s been sold out during covid times. I’m wondering what folks think...

Hi all, I have never owned a saltwater tank before and am interested in starting. I saw a Red Sea 130D for sale for pretty cheap and think it might be a good idea. It doesn’t come with the light or the hood but I don’t mind because I figured open top and better light would be better for the tank...

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.
