After many rounds of “design, 3D print, test” I have successfully modified my Max E-170 to allow for installing a NanoMat (or filter sock). My retrofit kit can be found here. Downloadable for free. If you like it, tips for the designer are appreciated! Happy Holidays...

A New Beginning: Setting Up the CalypZoo Reef After months of preparation, a saltwater aquarium now graces our living room once more. As a returning saltwater aquarist, let me introduce myself. My name is Bas, and I live with my family in The Netherlands. Like many others here, I spent years...

Looking for reviews on the nanomat. Doesn’t seem to be many reviews anywhere yet (I’m assuming because they are still so new) but I am just looking to hear users thoughts on it so far. I am considering using one in my reefer 170 rather than using a reefmat 250 and loosing half my sump space...

Good day everyone, I want to introduce to you all my Red Sea Max Nano G2 XL salt water tank. You may just simply look at it, follow with interest for updates, and please give me your honest opinions. My setup is only running a Red Sea NanoMat currently, and some Red Sea carbon just before the...

So hi… I kept aquariums from my teen years through to a few years ago when I had a motorcycle accident. At that point - though my injuries were being dealt with - it became very difficult for me to maintain my aquariums so they were closed down. I have had several surgeries since then and I am...

Vote for your favourite roller filter! Let me know if I have missed any.

Hello everyone, first time poster here. I've not had a reef tank for around 2 years, and I am currently looking to get another. I am considering a Reefer 170 or a Reefsys 180. I'd like to see how everyone has theirs set up in terms of aquascape and sump equipment - anyone using a roller filter...

I have a Red Sea 425xl G2. Recently tore down and moved to a new room. Filled with fresh water recently and noticed this on the left side, bottom right corner. Is this anything to be concerned about? Tank is approximately 3.5 years old. Any feedback greatly appreciated. If it is a concern. How...

I recently acquired a new Red Sea Max Nano G2 XL and am considering adding the MXM to the Apex control system I used with my previous reef tank and second-generation Max Nano. I am also contemplating upgrading the Red Sea ReefLED 50 to an AI Prime HD16 with Axis 40 and Nero 3. However, in the...

So I own a red sea 625 XXL v3. It has the center brace. I have so much invested into this tank that I'm setting up another tank in the event of a catastrophic failure. What else can I buy? Let's say the a front seam fails... What can I buy now to be prepared for this type of event? Clamps...

So much talk of Red Sea tanks leaking on a weekly basis on forums, Facebook groups, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.... so I thought I'd collect some data out of curiosity. I will share the results with sensitive info removed on 12/31/2024. If you unfortunately had a Red Sea tank leak on you...

Hey Reefers! I am in the pre-planning stage of my next tank. I have most things figured out, but there still remains a pretty big question that will decide whether or not I buy a larger tank. I am interested in buying the ProStar 200 v2, which is a ~185G total system tank. It's a "reef ready"...

In today's video Blaine takes us into the studio where we get to see an update on the Red Sea Reefer 250! This has been an update we have been waiting to put out because A LOT has changed in this system since the last time it was showcased here on the channel! Love to hear your favorite newest...

I have 2 red sea reefdose 2 for sale asking $175 each

Okay so Red Sea… I was so hyped to get the nanomat installed in my Max Nano XL G2 but what the heck guys? Did they even test this product before releasing it??? The water level in the sump had to be almost to the return pump for the nanomat to register a nominal water level and go into auto roll? How tf...

These have been on the market now for some time. Need to get an honest review from folks who have tried them. If you have tried both, do you have a preference? I have the Klir Di-4 on my Eshopps RS-75 and only thing I can say is that it works well, but hasnt triggered the sensor to auto roll. I...

Has anyone seen extremely high lithium levels on their ICP tests that uses Red Sea blue bucket salt? I probably should send a clean sample of the salt mix for icp testing but I have seen my lithium levels growing up to a pretty insane level over the last few months. My acros are doing alright...

Hey everyone, i got this max nano xl about a month ago and it’s reached the end of the cycle. Just wondering if this aquascape is good enough or if it should be a little higher in re: the ReefLED 50’s PAR readings. Per the PAR chart, the highest level (bridge/middle arch) would receive about...

Hello my name is Juan and I’m new to the whole salt water world, I’m learning from scratch and have nobody near me that knows about keeping a salt water tank so I’ll probably be here asking a lot of dumb questions but hopefully eventually I can get the hang of things. Just purchased a Red Sea...

Anyone selling a red sea reefled 160s? I don’t need the mount, just the light and power supply. Pls send me offers if you have it. I will need it shipped to CO. Thanks!

Hey guys, So I have a Red Sea reefer 250 V3A. When I look closely along the bottom and sides of the silicone, I can clearly see a lighter line around the middle to the inner edge. see image below I have attached Really worried as cannot have this tank split right now. It is to be noted it's...

Hello all, need some advice for my Red Sea 300XL aquarium Looks like I have air in my silicone or bubbles. Should I reseal it or is it okey? I did a 100% water leakage test for 4 days with no problem. I e-mailed Red Sea and waiting for an answer.

Brand new REEFMAT 500 I cut the hose and decided the next day to move and could not take the tank it was for. It was never turned on. Includes the Fleece roll. In the box.
