Hi Y'all I need some advice on upgrading the red sea Reefer 350 Sump Valved Down Pipe. The stock pipe is 32mm - metric size. I jumped ahead of myself & ended up buying 1 1/4 inch pipe, Spears Gate Valve & Cepex Ball Valve. I need to connect this 32mm pipe to my upgraded stuff. But I can only...

Hey all, i’m not happy with my reefer 170’s sump. No dedicated fuge chamber, no ability to customize or do anything. I was wanting to swap it out, the dimensions are tight but I did find a fiji cube sump with what i’d want...

I recently purchased a Red Sea Reefer 250 and found my plumbing looks a lot different that what others are putting together. I'm hoping to add a ReefMat and trying to figure out how to add my Control Panel Slide Out 25 where I would prefer it go but there are pipes here. However, the videos...

So, got an S 1000 I’m working on setting up. My original plan was to use the stock plumbing setup. However, the more I think about my last tank, I’d like a little more flexibility than what that provides. Also, I’ve got an under the stairs closet right behind the tank which would be a great...

Everyone has already been so helpful. So I purchased a Red Sea 350 that already has part #42221 (16mm) connected to the soft tubing. I want to keep everything as is. The issue I have been having is connecting my VarioS 6 return pump to the soft tubing. I ordered another part #42221 but it is...

Hey my name is Erik. I have been doing reef tanks since 2003 but have been very laced in the hobby. My friend gave me my first tank for 300. It was nice 75 gal with sump and skimmer t5 and halide. I think all I had to buy was power heads. My fish stores in santa cruz suck so I learned everything...

Hello, I have had a few ask me to share my build as it may give ideas to others. Happy to but I should stress this is my first reef tank....and first build. I have certainly learned along the way and it took me a while to "complete" as I only had a couple hours here and there...and on only a...

I am looking to buy a red sea reefer 170 tank only for $250 CAD soon, the only thing is it comes with none of the plumbing, return nozzles, overflow strainers, sump or stand. This is okay with me, I can make a good stand, and I have a spare sump. The only thing is I have no idea how to do the...

Hi everyone! I’m hoping you can help me with a plumbing question! I moved my Red Sea Reefer 170 to a new apartment last weekend. When I set it back up, I discovered that the return and drain lines to the sump are leaking. I believe the o-rings need to be replaced as they are looking kind of...
