Red Sea Reefer Peninsula 650 sump Brand New with 4 mesh Filter socks. $250 AZ pickup only. I’m in Flagstaff and I’m down in the Valley often so I could possibly bring down to the Valley.

I'm so excited to get back into the game after a 10 year absence (military moves and deployments are not compatible to reef keeping). I worked at an aquarium store back in the day and finally pulled the trigger on getting back into the hobby with a Max E 170 which gets here Thursday. My tank...

Hello everyone, I have a reefer 350 and I wanted to try out a small DIY project on my sump. I don’t know exactly how to go about this so I need some help. So I was looking at a YouTube video on the BRS page on Kalkwasser. Here is the link . So I had an idea, on the video aound 8min 15sec...

hi, I am planning to upgrade my current 20 gallon reef tank that has been running for 10 months to a 74 gallon reefer 350 tank. I will be using the existing 16 lbs of live rock plus some new live rocks, and new sand bed for the new tank. Wondering do I need to cycle my new tank or I can do a...

I’m starting my Red Sea Reefer 170 build shortly. I just ordered my Reefer 170 and I do not have it yet. This will be my 2nd setup. My first tank I set up a little less than 2 years ago, it was a 75 gallon setup with a 30 gallon sump. I then added a 40 breeder to the system about a year ago...

This is my first time documenting a tank build. I have been out of the hobby for 2 years since my 75 gallon reef tank went on fire. The fire displaced me, my pregnant wife, and a few neighbors from our condo. It was a horrible experience but thankfully no one was hurt. Coincidentally 2 years...

Hello, I've been struggling to decide what tank to purchase, because I keep thinking I can find exactly what I want. I hope the good folks here can help. I'm strongly leaning towards the Red Sea E-170, but it's not quite what I want. The (ideal) tank I want: 24x24x24 true cube (or 24x24x20...

Ok , I’m super stoked to start this build ! Little frustrating to start . I picked up the tank little over 3 week ago and had a cabinet panel damaged and after dealing with my lfs and finally emailing Red Sea the panel is on its way. Let me start off by saying this tank is a beast ! It’s heavy...

Switching from metric to standard plumbing with no adapters ! I used the og overflow box plumbing . Put a light sanding on 1” pvc pipe and fits perfectly!

It has begun! My wife and I have decided on not going quite as large as I posted in my Introduction thread back in October. We were thinking the Red Sea Reefer 350 Deluxe. The Den where the tank will be is not massive but it can accommodate the Red Sea 250 Deluxe nicely. In fact the overall...

Hi all, can I just say what an excellent forum and source of information/guidance we have at our finger tips here! I have kept tropical fish a decade or so back and I found that quite simple to maintain. Because it is! I have always wanted a salt water reef aquarium so before I go for the...

Hey guys, Starting to add some different corals to my tank. Currently have a hammer colony, zoa, birds nest, a candy cane, and 3 types on montipora. I got my first Hanna checker the other day. Tested the Calcium and it was at 261. I'm using Red Sea Coral Pro salt. Got me wondering what the...

Hello everyone. Thought I would document the build of our brand new Red Sea Reefer 525XL Deluxe. Been on this forum for a while, had a 55g reef tank in NJ for several years. Even with hang on back everything, plus a canister filter, it did very well. We moved to NC this past summer, and did not...

So I currently have a nice 20 gallon IM Fusion. Stocked with a small torch, medium size frogspawn, a few sps, a BTA, a few zoa's, and a small maxima clam. Everything is growing great, actually too great, my utter chaos and other zoa's are almost covering most of rocks. I have 2 clowns, a...

So I tested my water with a Red Sea pH kit, and when I look at it from above it looks like a watered down purple but when I look at it from the side it looks blueish/grey. What does that mean? lol... I can't take a pic because with the camera it looks purple no matter what.

I'm thinking of downsizing my reefer, due to the size of my living space, and how much the 525 demands attention in such a small space. The tank is in great condition and is running perfectly atm, I purchased and set it up 1 year ago this month. If anyone is interested in moving up from a 350...

Hi guys, I'm starting a new reef tank and also wanted to start a thread at the same time in order to document the whole process. So here goes. I currently have a Red Sea Max C250 (current picture attached) it is 3 1/2 years old and it was also my first tank. It has served me well as a first tank...

Hey guys! I just received the Red Sea tests for Alk, Ca and Mg yesterday. I just got finished with these tests and my readings are somewhat high. I did compare the results with API tests I already owned (Ca & Mg) and they were spot on with each other. I currently DO NOT dose my tank for any of...

Officially back in the hobby. Hopefully for a good long time. I haven't really used Reef2Reef before, but I'm going to give it a shot! I've had a few tanks, my last setup was terribly expensive and, in my opinion, way too complicated. It was so complicated and automated I lost touch with the...

Just got my Red Sea Reefer 170. Set up the stand, then noticed my black background was scratched off a bit (was going to take it off anyway) and after I took it off, noticed two huge cracks in the overflow =( I checked the tank and sump before the driver left, but the overflow was so black and...

So today a couple friends came to my house and are really knowledgeable about both marine and fresh water tanks, they are from argentina and brazil they came to the house for a beer and to talk about corals and fish, one of the guys told me that he wanted to test my water so i handed him all my...

I'm not limiting this in any way to only Red Sea Reefer owners... all of R2R is welcome! But Reefer owners are my main focus. So if you are interested in meeting up with myself and other fellow Reefer owners, please post here and let me know whether Friday or Saturday works best for you. I...

Hey Everyone! After a five year hiatus I am back with my new Red Sea Max E-170 and I am super excited! Over the weekend I assembled all the parts. Today my final shipments are coming in (chiller, heater, live sand, etc.) and I am super stoked to finally get some water in my beautiful tank...
