reefer 170

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...

Reef Dreams Baffle Kit for RedSea Reefer 170 /250 in great condition I purchased from another R2R member to create a refugium but ended up replacing my sump instead. $90 shipped within USA, Paypal only. $80 pick-up in Milford, CT...

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...

Howdy folks! This will be a build thread on my downgrade. Why the downgrade? Seeing this tank in person at the LFS a while ago, I fell in love with it and the whole Red Sea Reefer series. What amazing and clean looking setups. As I picked this one up, it was smaller than I recalled. It had me...

My first saltwater tank. I purchased the tank in July, got it wet late August. I used the TBS "package," most of the rock is in my QT tank since I chose to go with a more minimalist aquascape. Dealing with Richard was awesome and the product was fantastic. I wish I had a larger tank to fit the...

Now that the Red Sea Reefer series tanks are getting more common in hobbyist's homes, I thought it would be nice to have a one-stop place to share and discuss them. I love mine and I think it's one of the nicest setups for the money. It's far less expensive than an Elos and even cheaper than...
