Red Sea Reefer 350- 73 Gallon Rimless Aquarium




Red Sea REEFER™ Systems
Rimless Reef Ready Systems for advanced hobbyists

REEFER™ Concept
Red Sea’s REEFER™ series of Reef Systems, provide advanced hobbyists with a solid foundation for building a fully featured reef or marine aquarium.

The REEFER™ series combines a contemporary, rimless, ultra-clear glass aquarium with a stylish cabinet and a comprehensive water management system, including a professional sump with integrated automatic top-up, and Red Sea’s unique silent down-flow system.

Incorporating technologies originally developed for Red Sea’s all-in-one MAX® coral reef systems, the REEFER™ series is designed for ease of operation while enabling the advanced hobbyist to install an unlimited choice of lighting, filtration, circulation and controllers to create a uniquely customized system.

Features of the Red Sea REEFER™ include:
Rimless, ultra-clear, beveled edge glass aquarium
Elegant marine-spec cabinet
Professional sump with constant height skimmer chamber and micron filter bags
Silent, regulated down-flow system with emergency overflow
Integrated automatic top-up system with reservoir
Assembly-ready piping – no gluing required
REEFER™ Specification
REEFER™ aquariums are constructed from thick, beveled-edge, ultra-clear glass to support their elegant and modern rimless design.

The aquarium sits on a recessed base that “floats” it above the cabinet, which seamlessly follows the contour of the glass.

The marine-spec laminated cabinet that houses the sump, (and in the larger models also includes a dedicated, vented space for chillers) is smartly finished with weatherproof, epoxy-painted doors.

REEFER™ Water Management System
The comprehensive water management system provides the base for excellent water quality. Surface water from all sides of the aquarium is actively fed to the sump through the regulated silent flow downpipe.

red sea reefer marine aquarium system - regulated downflow system

Removable surface-skimming combs surround the top of the centrally located overflow box that houses the downpipe, sump return pipe and the discreet multi-directional “eyeball” return outlet nozzle.

In the event of a blockage in the regulated downpipe, an additional emergency overflow pipe provides an unrestricted free flow of aquarium water directly to the sump.

On entering the sump the water passes through a 200 micron mechanical filter bag, before entering the filtration compartment that maintains a constant water height, making it suitable for all skimmers and other reactors.

In order to remove any air bubbles that may have escaped from the skimmer, the water passes through a bubble-stripping cascade on its way to the return pump chamber.

To ensure a constant water level in the pump compartment, all REEFER™ sumps include an integrated automatic freshwater top-up unit, guaranteeing a constant, stable water flow throughout the complete system.

Supplied as a complete self-assembly kit, all pipe work is ready without the need for any gluing.

I will be there for the tenth time! I love this show! You should always bring cash and leave the cards at home. You get better deals most of the time with cash.

Hi gcarroll,
I saw in post #21 you mentioned an earlybird option. I understand this to mean 9:30am entrance.
How do you get those tickets?
Thanks!

The early-bird entry is the same price whether you return for the second day or not. Sorry!

It was great last year. Wish I could go this year. I already have family plans and I'm swapping my tank out for another one in about a month from now so no new additions in the mean time. Last year I got a ton of cheap corals which was great since I'm a beginner at the coral level. I got 4 different types of zoas (smallest had 5 heads and largest had about 20 heads), 3 different types of polyps (1-2 inches worth of each), 2 types of mushrooms (multiples for each of these too), a xenia stalk, a 2 inch montipora and all for $50.

This is going to be my first time at Reefapalooza and hear/read that you can buy livestock there (Fish & Coral). My question is, how do you prepare for this and what do people typically do to make sure their livestock makes it home alive? I want to be able to spend a good amount of time over there and not worry about rushing home to get the animal safe & sound...
