Just got the skimmer yesterday, it wasn't exactly quiet, but acceptable. I went downstairs to check it the next morning, the lid was shaking badly. The lid has been pushed down as much as I can, still shaking. Does anyone have the same problem?

Hi guys,
Just wanted to check in with you guys on using a Red Sea Reefer 170 cabinet to place next to my Reefer 625 XXL? I was looking at options to have another cabinet for storage and equipment as am thinking that the finish and height of a Reefer 170 cabinet should be a great match. Anything...

Turn your bucket upside down for couple minute

I rented a par meter from BRS, here our my results. Is this appropriate par for a mixed reef? I have two red sea 90 LEDs running at 60% Blue and 66% White. I wanted softies and LPS towards the bottom and easy SPS at the top. I know the bottoms a bit high for low light coral and the top is...

Hello,
Wondering if anyone has chosen to add a cabinet sump to their Red Sea Max 170. What plumbing did you use and where did you get it? Which sump did you decide on? I have no urgency to do this, but haven't found much online about it when i've been curious. Wondering if its worth it if i'm...

I don't know how many beers the Red Sea design team polished off the day they came up with the 'DIY Net Cover' but wow, just wow! I can imagine the stunned silence as someone had to put one together during the pitch to management - If ever there was a 'that'll do, quick to market' product! Spent...

Hello,
This is my 45 Gal Red Sea Max E-170 that has been running for about 14 months. Currently SPS dominant with some Euphyllia towards the bottom. Recently added 20lbs of additional rock for more surface area (for corals!). Also currently battling some bubble algae currently - I do weekly 4-5...
Hi all, nearing the end of the cycle on a new tank. I have a Hanna Nitrite ULR tester that to-date won't give a reading as every test reports '200' (out of 0-200 ppb range). My Red Sea Nitrite tests are coming in between 0.5 and 1 ppt. I believe I should trust the Hanna (non)reading, but that's...

This is my new Red Sea E Max 260 build. I've been out of the hobby since 2009 when I used to have a 12 gallon JBJ Nano cube deluxe. I had some success with that tank as mostly a FOWLR tank. I have been wanting to get back into the hobby for many years and now with my young daughter around I...
So about two weeks ago, I bought a Reefer 425xl pre-owned. The previous owner didn't have the time to take care of it so things got pretty ugly. Tons of salt creep and ALGAE. Here's a not-so-great picture of the tank below.
I took the rock and a few fish with the tank. The fish are going...
I’ve been thinking of upgrading my 33 gallon to a much larger tank and I’ve come down to the waterbox 130.4 or the Red Sea reefer 525
All I’ve got so far is the weir on the waterbox is glass instead of acrylic and is potentially $1000 aud cheaper
But nether have a large enough refugium imo and...
