Hey y’all, I am thinking about selling my entire set up and downsizing, looking to see if anyone is interested. Red Sea Reefer 170, set up exactly 2 years ago. June 2021. Custom hard plumbed with manifold but I have all the stock plumbing also. Sump is customized to fit Klir filter roller...

Hi Everyone, I'm newish to the hobby (tried reefing when I was a teen and am revisiting it in adulthood) so would love some advice. I have a RedSea Reefer Skimmer 300 on my RedSea Reefer 170 G2. Total system volume is ~38 gallons which is decently below what BRS recommends for this skimmer...

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...

Hi would the mini 70 reactor be ok to run in the return section of the reefer 170 sump ? tia

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...

Day Zero I was supposed to pickup a used Reefer Nano this morning, but last night I came across this on FB marketplace. Includes upgraded sump, Ecotech M1 return pump, and Ecotech XR15 Pro Gen 4 (no arm or power supply) for $850. I still have an MP10 that hasn't been touched in ten...

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...

Ok I have a Red Sea Reefer 170 and I started it a few months ago. I went with the Current Orbit IC. I went with them because I wanted the Loop system they have to run my flow pump and my poerheads with everything elase. The tank was going to be a LPS and softy tank just like my BioCube 32 and I...

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...

After being out of the hobby since 2004, the bug bit hard last year. A quick browse through the LFS and I ended up with a Nuvo10. Less than a month later, I had already upgraded to a 25 Lagoon and looking at another upgrade. 2 months back into the hobby and I knew I wasn't going to turn back...

Hi all, We are very excited to start a new build here at ReefHacks.com - This build is based on a Red Sea REEFER 170 tank and the full Reef Care Program. We run different systems by using very different methods, but we have never tried before the Reef Care Program. It's super exciting to try...

Hi Everybody, I just got a REEFER 170 and I'm creating this thread in order to document my progress in the REEF hobby, and as a beginner, ask for advice and guidance so as to avoid clumsy mistakes as I made in the past. I stepped into the Reef hobby two years ago (2016), starting off with a...

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...
