red sea 250

Looking for a used Red Sea Reefer 250 for 800. Located in Bay Area or within 1 hour drive of San Jose. PM please

Looking for either a Red Sea reefer 250 or the waterbox marine x 90.3. I currently have a cube reef tank and need some bigger dimensions.

Scraped this off the back of my 10 gallon nano. Tried to just use ceramic Magnets to allow to adhere naturally but consensus is that this is asking for trouble. got after it tonight with the reef glue...have to press lightly but hold for 20-30 seconds but it will stick! Also have to make sure...

Very embarrassed to say I didn’t post a build thread in February because I couldn’t figure out how. Rest assured, I went through this forum and BRS rigorously and did A LOT of research and reading! Please Comment/message any and all opinions/thoughts/ideas! Here we go. i have been running an...

Hello everyone, My names Jake, currently located in Charlotte NC and I'm starting up my first saltwater tank. Creating this thread to share the positives and negatives that I face along my journey into the reefing hobby. As a massive Liverpool FC (soccer/football) supporter I chose the name...

Hello everyone. I'm a long time lurker and first time poster, so if this isn't in the proper area please let me know and I'll fix it as soon as I'm able. I've acquired a Red Sea Max 250 for trade. It was really dirty and it took me a while to clean, but as I was cleaning things I noticed that...

For background, i'm upgrading my diy 33 gallon to a redsea reefer 250. If you have one, what are the stock things you changed out, or wished you did before filling it up?

I switched from socks to Red Sea media cups, and there's a trickle coming from the "sliders" that the cups drop into. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you remedy it? I've already tried adjusting the return pump flow (Jebao DCT-4000) and the overflow with no luck. Return has been...

I know how it sounds and it’s true, Red Sea reefer, 250, 350, cincinnati Ohio area. With stand with sump.

What is the best way to add a refugium to a rs250? I seen where people convert the ato container but I bought mine used and it didn’t come with one. Any input would be appreciated

Welcome to Dante's Cove! Phew, 1.5 years already?! This is a catch up thread, love any tips. Attached are some progression shots to date. I've killed my share of corals, but things have been pretty stable the last 6 months. I beat the red and brown algae mostly! Status: Overall stable, good...

As I'm currently cycling my Reefer 250, I've been debating a stocking list consisting entirely of nano fish to provide more interest and diversity. My thinking is smaller fish=more fish=more interest and interaction. Who is running a setup like this, and what are your thoughts and lessons...

So, I’m new to saltwater. I just purchased a Red Sea Max 250 all in one (used) for a really good price. I’ve read there may be issues with the lights/hood causing the tank temp to run hot. Anyone have issues with this? If so, did the chiller correct the issue? And what type of chiller will work...

Given I seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time here I thought it was high time I had my own build thread up and running. Whilst there is a hope this may prove interesting or useful to others (even as an example of what not to do), I also intend to use this as a way of tracking my...

Hi all! I'm back in the hobby after an almost 10 year hiatus and brand new to R2R. I got a used Red Sea Reefer 250 and my winter pandemic project will be starting it up. I'm inspired by scuba diving, both coldwater and tropical. I was in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, before the pandemic hit and I enjoy...

Hello Fellow Reefers, I recently set up a Red Sea Reefer 250 and as you can see from the picture it’s just needs more life - lots more! I don’t really have much in terms of plants/coral and I could really use some help in terms of suggestions. Any ideas in terms of hardy coral and fish that...

Need advice here so I dont have to spend the money on an expensive chiller! I have a new RedSea max 250 with T5 lights and 4 cooling fans on the lights. This is an upgrade from a 32g bio cube. I still have all of my fish and coral in my bio cube until my RS is ready. I have had the RedSea...

Time for an upgrade! Seeing as I will be working from home until the end of the year at the least, I decided I could afford the time to handle a larger system and pulled the trigger on a Reefer 250. I started reefkeeping in January 2018 with an IM fusion 20, which was the perfect size for my...

Howdy, I have a red sea reefer 250 with stock sump. I have the reef octopus 110 INT skimmer. Needs to be in 6 inches of water but i currently have my sump level at 9 and i do kind of like it at 9 inches. So either i will buy a skimmer stand or DIY this project. Which could be a good time killer...

Hello all, I am setting up a new build (red sea reefer 250) I bought an reef octopus varios 2 for my return pump. I plan on being SPS in this setup. Not using the return pump as my primary flow to the sticks.. I've taken a liking to the red sea gyres lately and the price point they have is...

I have a RedSea Reefer 250 and whenever I turn off the return pump to feed my fish, it creates a powerful vacuum when it sucks water back into the sump. It makes me worried about the safety of the fish in my tank since the force is enough to tear a small fish in half if it gets too close. Is...

I've been postponing creating this thread for a while lol. So here is my newest tank, running since July 2019. It’s my third tank in 11 years of this hobby. Starting with the specs! Tank: Red Sea Reefer 250 (v3) Lighting: Maxspect Recurve 90 240w Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve A8 Return: Reef...

I HATE this sump, too small no options to put anything in etc. If you have post some details and pics. I can't fit anything else in mine and serviceability is very difficult.

FTS As 07/18/2020 Hi! First of all a little of my background, in 2011 I started my first aquarium with a 55 Gal tank i got on Craiglist, for that aquarium I decided to do a low to none maintenance planted native freshwater tank, I used dirt and local lake bed sand as substrate, with several...

Hi, I’ve asked this question previously but slightly differently. I am getting my Red Sea 250 prepped to start getting into corals. Mixed at first with SPS eventually. I’ve narrowed down the lighting to the XR15 G5 and Hydra 32. The XR15 is just out of what I wanted to spend but willing to if...
