red sea reefer 250

I wanted to share photos of my tank and express some issues I’m having. I’ve been in the hobby for about 10 years now and had amazing success on my Nuvo 20 for about 6 years. Since going larger on my REEFER 250 I’ve had nothing but struggles. 2 tank crashes, 4 moves and failure after failure...

I've been in the reef hobby for 5 years now and have always stuck to LPS and soft corals. I have a few SPS in my tank now and have not seen any growth in them over the past few months. I have also noticed some algae growing on the Pavona. I have a green slimer, red digitata, green Pavona and red...

Hello, Wanted to post this up to catalogue progression of my Reefer 250. I want to first acknowledge that I’m guilty of “doing too much, too fast”. Some parts of this almost feel like a confession as I reflect back on these first stages of building my reef. Fortunately, things seem to be...

What’s everyone’s opinions? Looking into buying a new system and I want some feedback. Red Sea reefer 250, Red Sea max, or maybe water box? Let me know!

I’m going to be working from home a majority of time post COVID world and being in tech management, I’ve found that a reef tank helps with managing stress. A local reefer was getting out of the hobby, so I was able to buy this RSR 250 for a good price. Planning on taking lessons learned from my...

Hello All! So working from home has finally pushed me over the edge to get in to the hobby! I purchased a used Red Sea Reefer 250 setup from someone who was moving out of state. It was a "turn key" system and comes with most items needed to get started, however it had been professionally...

Looking for a black side cabinet next to my Reefer 250. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, I am new to Reefing after 11 years of freshwater. I got myself a Reefer 250 to start with. The return pump I ordered (Sicce Syncra Silent 4.0) did not come with the 5/8" adaptor for the return line the sump came with. I thought it did but that was my fault. I have no plumbing skills :). What...

Yo! I’m back on the forum after a long break. I’ve been feeding for a little over 2 years now. Started on a Evo 13.5 to a Lagoon 25 AIO, to a Lagoon 50 AIO and then jumped to a Lagoon 25 EXT with sump. The last tank was up for about 11 months and now I’m in a reefer 250! Tank: RSR 250 Sump...

Hello, I have never seen either a Reefer or Max E in person so I apologize for the stupid question. Can anyone tell me how much higher the back profile is on the Max E versus the Reefer? It looks like on the Max E it extends at least a few inches higher than the rim, whereas on the Reefer it...
