Welcome to my Red Sea Reefer 650 Peninsula thread [emoji4]
Fast forward 6mths on and my tank is doing well [emoji4]
Here’s some details: My original plan was to build a custom 6ft reef that matched my sitting room furniture - I created a thread and plans went on and on....
However after calculating the cost of purchasing specialist oak cladding and some persuasion from friends, I opted for a Red Sea Reefer 650 Peninsula instead.
What a great decision that was! The build quality of the Reefer and Red Sea customer service that I received was amazing... So here goes my visual journey so far...
She arrived [emoji13]
Man that’s a beast!!

Proper skimmer for the job [emoji1320]
Cheeky little control panel I built out of the wooden box the Reefer was shipped in [emoji12]
I’ve wrapped the back panels and sump in Black to matched the rest of the sump area and hide cables etc. Also installed the UV.
