RedSea Reefer 170. Plumbing Conversion

[Saluki2003]

I’m about to be a new RedSea Reefer 170 owner. I’ve been looking through build threads and see a lot of people have converted the plumbing from metric to standard and changed to red or orange PVC.

Can someone direct me to a plumbing build “how to”? Id like to buy all the plumbing parts and be ready to get to work when I get the tank.

Thanks in advance.

Not a guide, but perhaps useful:

Great project, let us know how you get on and share your progress :D

Out of curiosity what are you trying to achieve with a change of perfectly good stock plumbing?

I recently changed my plumbing in my Cade tank to facilitate a new sump with a larger refugium :)

Marine and reef has the adapters you are looking for…
I have 170,I went with the new small Reefmat ….
my other Red Sea Tanks have “some”. 1” red pipe underneath

Everything I’ve been reading about the RedSea valve being finicky made me want to redo the plumbing. I also like the look of the red piping over all black.

Thanks I’ll check them out. Does anyone know of a parts list out there for replacing the plumbing?
