I'm not limiting this in any way to only Red Sea Reefer owners... all of R2R is welcome! But Reefer owners are my main focus. So if you are interested in meeting up with myself and other fellow Reefer owners, please post here and let me know whether Friday or Saturday works best for you. I...

Hey Everyone! After a five year hiatus I am back with my new Red Sea Max E-170 and I am super excited! Over the weekend I assembled all the parts. Today my final shipments are coming in (chiller, heater, live sand, etc.) and I am super stoked to finally get some water in my beautiful tank...

Today is a bittersweet day. I have been looking forward to starting this tank for months & my Red Sea Reefer 250 arrived today. As much as I want to be ecstatic, my heart is broken :(. My boxer, Penny, died very unexpectedly yesterday morning. She would have turned 5 at the end of the month, and...

Here's my Tank as of today:) Below is an insight in my start in the hobby and the build thread up to this date. So I'm in the military and moved back to San Diego after 8 years of being away I'm excited to finally be back in the mecca of reef tanks where it all started 12 years ago for me. 6...

Never used the test kit, bought 2 months ago. Used 2ml of each additive once. Test kit still has the wrappers as I only unboxed it. Went a different route so im selling. 55$ shipped.

Ok, Red Sea, I can see why you put the top and bottom stand pieces underneath the tank when shipping, because you can move the tank out of the way and then set up the stand. But, on the XXL sizes one person can't move the tank out of the way to get to those pieces to build the stand, the tank is...

I have a Red Sea Nano Reefer, the under tank sump has a stable fixed water depth of 7-3/4". I need an in-Sump Protein Skimmer, the issue is that the sump in the Red Sea Nano has very little clearance between the outside wall of the sump and the inside of the stand (1") which makes any unit that...

July 11, 2017 today I am getting back into reefing after 10 years, I decided on the Reefer 21 because I do not have the room for the larger 45 gallon Reefer 170 (at least anywhere where I could enjoy seeing it). Additionally this is no small investment if done correctly so the smaller tank...

Hello everyone, im new here on R2R and just wanted to share my tank that has been set up since 7/23/16, wow almost a year. First livestock was added 6 weeks after the intial set up. It is my first reef tank and im pretty proud of what it is turning into. I have had some challenges with some ups...

Wondering if anyone has any input on a good water pump and good in sump skimmer ? Thinking about upgrading tank to a Red Sea reefer deluxe system. 34 gallon comes with ai hydra 26 . 54 gallon comes with 2 ai hydra 26 lights . I believe it comes with all plumbing and dump as well, just need to...

Like the title states, I decided to break down the recommended dosing instructions per brand to help me (and possibly others) when deciding on what supplements to use and dose (and how much if switching). Also Randy, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. I decided to do...

Thought I would start a separate tank build thread, since Red Sea's forum is not the place for it. :) May 2017 - Purchase and Placement Spot June 2017 - New Carpet and Waiting for tank July 2017 - Still waiting for tank and Floor Reinforcement done (Can support 40,000+ lbs. Now I can back...

I was an "early adopter" of the Reefer series, and bought the 450 when it first came out over 2 years ago. Nothing but positive experiences after that, that is, until 2 days ago. I was away on business when my wife noticed a leak in the front of the sump. I came home early to find a leak in...

Hello all! My name is Mike and after year and years of aquarium visits and summers at the beach I finally decided to take the plunge and jump right into the Reefing Community! My first saltwater aquarium I might add so ANY advice and support is MUCH appreciated as I will greatly accept all the...

Finally! I saved up enough money for a Red Sea Reefer!!! Actually, thanks to the power of craigslist and silicon I was able to restore a reefer that had a leak. I am by no means a expert at reef tanks nor DIY builds, but I guess we can learn together. A little background about me. I have had a...

I ordered my Red Sea Reefer 525XL last night & want to see if my equipment list looks reasonable. I am brand new to reef aquariums, so this is all still somewhat Greek to me! Feel free to point out where my attempt at logic may have failed already :p Equipment List -Tank: Red Sea Reefer 525xL -...

I bought a used RS-170 Reefer, and everything has been working great except for this micro bubbling problem I've been having. I recently replaced the return pump from a Sicce to an M1-Vectra. However the problem was occurring prior to the pump replacment. Things I've done to troublesoot...

Now unfortunately I didn't take many photo but I did take some.... So let's begin.... One of the best looking tanks in my own opinion was the Red Sea 130D. Its curved glass was all but stunning while lit up with sooo awesome PCs. Sorry LEDs… T5s grow coral like mad! I have been wanting to get...

Purchased this tank in 2013 and have done a lot mods. Used to be almost all SPS but missed the swaying of LPS. (After dino damage) Don't have pictures from start until now. But this is our family's joy. :) ................Built in Power Center :) Specs: 110 Gallon / Bare Bottom / Mixed...

I have been dosing manually using a separate syringe for each component. Yesterday I added them to a dosing reservoir and am concerned about the precipitate in the Calcium Foundation A (center chamber) and Nopox being very cloudy and some precipitate this morning (third chamber) I have been...

Hey everyone! I'm new to the the hobby and excited to set up this little piece of heaven in my living room. I grew up owning multiple freshwater tanks at one point or another so now I am looking for a bit more of a challenge.:). I have an order in for a XL425 that I will get at the end of...
