New to the G2+ -- 3-in-1 ReefATO+
Every REEFER G2+ model includes a ReefATO+, an exceptionally reliable and smart auto top-off system. The ReefATO+ is more than just an ATO-- it also includes an accurate temperature monitor and external leak detector, coupled with a smart controller that connects to the ReefBeat ecosystem.
Extra-fortified Glass and Marine-Spec Cabinets
- Fully-featured online digital temperature monitor accurate to 0.1 degree
- Reliable leak detector with audible alarm
- Slimline multi-input titanium probe water level sensor
- Strong magnetic corner mounting bracket
- Precise water level monitoring
- Built-in safety shutoffs under the following scenarios:
- Sensor isn't connected
- Pump runs dry
- Leak is detected
- Pump runs longer than normal
- Track water level and temperatures in the ReefBeat app
- Powerful, quiet, and slim 1.8" diameter pump that fits in most ATO reservoirs
- ReefBeat connected smart controller included
The G2+ series of REEFER aquariums are rimless and constructed from ultra-clear, beveled-edge glass with an increased glass thickness of up to 19mm. These strong glass tanks sit atop newly fortified cabinet stands made of plywood and with Marine-Spec, water-resistant lamination. Each cabinet stand follows the contours of the aquarium glass, with the larger REEFER G2+ models featuring an additional “floating tank” aluminum support. Adjustable leveling feet & stainless steel hinges ensure a lasting and durable stand for your dream aquarium.
Improved Water Management & Plumbing
Up top, the G2+ REEFER systems employ a large overflow box with dual side-facing return pumps for optimal water circulation and increased surface skimming. The overflow box includes a lid which hides plumbing components, as well as easily-removable weir combs for quick cleaning and improved surface skimming. Water then exits from the overflow box and travels down an enlarged and rectangular inlet to the downflow pipe, allowing for reduced turbulence & quieter operation. All G2+ models also include a high precision valve on the downflow pipe, allowing for simple regulation to further tune your flow.
Reef-Ready Sump– Now ReefMat Compatible
As with the previous generation of REEFER, the G2+ sump includes a mechanical filtration compartment complete with micron filter sock(s) and filter cup(s) to keep large pieces of debris and detritus from clogging pumps and other pieces of equipment. This chamber can be alternatively used to house a ReefMat 500 or 1200-- no modifications required! Water flows from the filtration chamber into the adjustable-height skimmer compartment, where the water will be kept at a steady level to aid in the best performance for your choice of skimmer, or any other filtration components that you choose to include. The water will then flow through the final bubble trap and into a chamber where the return pump (not included) can be placed to pump water back through the Reefer tank's return plumbing.
3+2 Extended Warranty Plans
All REEFER aquariums include a standard 2-year warranty. Register your brand-new Red Sea system within 90 days of the original date of purchase and turn your standard 2-year warranty into 3 years at no extra cost. 1-2 year extended protection plans are also available for purchase through Red Sea's warranty registration page. That's up to 5 years of worry-free protection!
DELUXE Models
All Deluxe REEFER models include ReefLED 90 or 160 light(s) with mounting arm(s) for optimal coral growth right out of the box. Each ReefLED offers a compact LED array providing reef-safe lighting through a single channel that combines ultraviolet, violet, and blue LEDs; in addition to a 9,000 Kelvin white channel and a separate dedicated 3W Moonlight channel for night time viewing.
All ReefLED lights are equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi that allows total control via ReefBeat smart aquarium app (which controls all Red Sea devices). The app includes pre-set lighting programs, along with additional features such as sunrise/sunset effects, lunar cycle moon light, random clouds and even an acclimation program for new installations.
Each Deluxe REEFER model includes either ReefLED 90 or ReefLED 160S lighting units, along with the appropriate number of mounting arms. The arms attach firmly onto the rear wall of the tank and can be rotated to the upright position during reef scaping or other tank maintenance.
