Red Sea deluxe discontinued

[CSJIII]

I just decided to pull the trigger on a new Red Sea 350 deluxe and I see that they have been discontinued. Any insight on them?

My understanding from another thread is that Red Sea is going to release a new version with their own lights, instead of the Aqua Illuminations.

I just moved and sold my 93 gallon cube and I’m housing my rock in a brute can till I can get a new tank.

Any link to that thread? I’m curious how long I may have to wait, or I should go another route.

By the way, you don’t have to wait as you can always buy the Reefer 350 and purchase the Ai Hydra 26 lights separately as that would be the same thing as getting their “deluxe” model.

Just make sure that the Reefer 350 you order has their latest V3 sump as some distributors might have the old sump in their inventory.

Agreed! But if it’s an “upgrade”, I’d hate to loose out cause I couldn’t wait.

Maybe I am conservative but everything I am the first one on the block to get the latest and greatest there are bugs in the programing and I have to deal with issues I could have avoided. The Ai Hydra 26 LED's are a proven product so why delay?

You are correct, that they've been discontinued. We don't have all of the details yet, but we're expecting Red Sea to have a replacement for the deluxe models in the upcoming months. Like others have mentioned, you can certainly go with the non-deluxe model and choose your own lighting solution. You could even go with the Hydra 26s like the deluxe package used to come with. The only difference would be the mounting bracket.
