reefer 250

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...

And the plumbing begins

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...

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

Hey everyone! I figured I'd start a build thread for this new tank I just started, seems to be what all the cool kids are doing these days :D. I've been keeping aquariums for around 10 years now, most of which have been freshwater planted tanks. After running a few high tech tanks I decided that...

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...

Hi, I have been lurking around in the background on this forum for a year ago and think it’s about time I start my tread for my own build. So after about 2 years of owning this tank and gathering equipment it’s about time to make a start and put it together. I purchased the tank new and have...

Been a lurker for a while, but I'd thought I'd start up a build thread and share what I have going on. I started reefing with a 12G Fluval Edge about 3 years ago and it took all of about 6 months for me to upgrade to my first "adult" tank. My Red Sea Reefer 250 has been running for exactly 912...

This will be my third reef tank over the 15+ years I have been in the hobby, but this one will be special. Heck, this one already is special! Background: My current tank is a standard 29 gallon, Aqueon aquarium that my then girlfriend and I won at the MAX Aquarium Expo in 2016. We spent time...

I have decided to by a Clearwater CW-50 from bulk reef supply on Black Friday with a new skimmer. I have spent some time trying to figure out how to mount this in my sump for the Red Sea Reefer 250. I believe I came up with a great way. There is not much information about this on youtube or...

Top Lids had a mix up and sent me the wrong lid (mine was supposed to have the fusion vent frame). This lid has cutouts designed for someone running a Kessil AP700 with the A-series mounting arms. If you have a reefer or deluxe 250 with these lights, this is an absolute steal for you AND you get...

It has begun! My wife and I have decided on not going quite as large as I posted in my Introduction thread back in October. We were thinking the Red Sea Reefer 350 Deluxe. The Den where the tank will be is not massive but it can accommodate the Red Sea 250 Deluxe nicely. In fact the overall...
