RedSea Reefer S-1000 Build
I have the privilege of starting my dream tank build with this amazing new RedSea Reefer S-1000! My Fiancé and I just bought a new home and I have picked out the perfect spot for this new journey to begin. I’ve decided to share this journey with anyone who is interested in the hobby, so I have created “Reef Racket,” A friendly brand, business, or whatever you want to call it call it. I will be documenting every step of this epic journey on the Reef Racket YouTube Chanell as well as all of our social media pages. We would love for you all to follow along!
*Lets start with some tank specs*
Reefer-S 1000
Display tank length 82.7"
Display tank height 25.6"
Display tank width 26 3/4"
Total system height 60"
Total system water vol. 265 gal
Display tank water vol. 210 gal
In-cabinet sump water vol. 55 gal
Ultra-clear side glass 3/4"
Ultra-clear front glass 3/4"
***Stand***
***Unboxing Display*** Don't mind our cat "Lady"
***Water truck with water straight from Half Moon Bay, California***
This beast of a tank is a HUGE step up from my current Fluval Flex 32.5 Gallon (123l) tank that just isn’t cutting it anymore. This tank was great and ill always love it, but its time for an upgrade. I will always apricate how this little Fluval brought my passion for this hobby to light which has brought me to the Dream Build…

*Plans for the tank*
I have thought long and hard on how I want this build to go. Actually, I didn’t have much of choice since this tank is so new and so large it is a pre-order and here we are over 2 months after purchase and its finally here! However, this allowed me to do my research and ensure I’m doing exactly what I want so I can start accurately from step one and avoid as many changes of heart as possible when setting up.
So, the plan here is to do what I have only seen a few reefers online accomplish successfully. I am going to attempt a Mixed Reef with the addition of a True Coral Catshark (Atelomycterus marmoratus).
*Equipment*
To start, I will be running:
- D&D CleariSea Roller Filter
- Reactor of some kind (suggestions?)
- Auto testing (suggestions?)
*Aesthetics*
***Me with the first tank shots!*** Didn't even wait for the sand to settle hahaha
***Oscar @HighTechAquariums with an amazing build job*** PERFECTLT LEVEL!
Huge thanks to Oscar (above) @HighTechAquariums for helping me make this happen in only 2 days with perfect leveling!
