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...

T5 hybrid with A360WE Kessil. I tested a couple heights and intensity settings. I do not have ability to ramp up or down. What I was guessing was to do two hours of Kessil at 75% and then T5 comes on for 4 hours with both and then the Kessil alone for 2 hours. What are your thoughts.

Hi All, I'm new to reef2reef but have been smitten by the reef hobby for 2 years now. It all started with a used red sea reefer 170. I got it for a good deal and started my journey since Nov 2020. It was a struggle at first. I was used to a fw tank but saltwater was another story. Started to...

Is there a better alternative to the green tube Red Sea gives you to hook up to a return pump? I've watched videos and others in here about plumbing the sump in different ways. I like the included PVC but am not a fan of the tubing. I am going to be using the Syncra SDC with an Apex for some...

Like many, my introduction to the aquarium hobby started with a freshwater tank. After many years of keeping freshwater tanks, I was finally convinced to try saltwater, thanks to the assistance of a friend with a fantastic reef tank. In April 2020, I decided to get a Fluval 13.5 and built my...

Hi In my fresh reefer 170 I noticed green blistering algae in some places on the rock and sand. Is it green cyano or something else. Thank you for your help :)

I am looking to buy a red sea reefer 170 tank only for $250 CAD soon, the only thing is it comes with none of the plumbing, return nozzles, overflow strainers, sump or stand. This is okay with me, I can make a good stand, and I have a spare sump. The only thing is I have no idea how to do the...

I just wanted to share this with the community, got it done in about a hour with 0 glass drilling experience. This can be done by anyone and im really happy with the results as you can have more space for equipment and still have your macro algae in your sump.

Hi guys, Just wanted to check in with you guys on using a Red Sea Reefer 170 cabinet to place next to my Reefer 625 XXL? I was looking at options to have another cabinet for storage and equipment as am thinking that the finish and height of a Reefer 170 cabinet should be a great match. Anything...

Just wondering if my reefer 170 is okay being a tad unleveled. I filled it up with water over the weekend and noticed based on the water line that it’s unleveled. I used my iPhone as a level and apparently that is not very accurate. Here are the measurements of the water line from the water line...

Hey, Anthony here! Been a REEF2REEF member for a few years now and originally started out on this forum with my nano 20g JBJ. So figured I’ll start a new thread since I finally got my hands on a Red Sea reefer 170. I transferred everything from my nano to the new tank. Figured I’ll just name...

So I got a chance to get the top lids for my Reefer 170 after finding it on Facebook of all places. At first I was not convinced having to spend this amount of money just for a tank lid, well after some research regarding Lexan and their pros and cons, I still was not convinced until they came...
