Innovative Designs

Going from the top of the Reefer system down to the bottom, the first thing you will notice is the crystal clear glass and elegant beveled edges. The second thing you may or may not notice is the slim overflow that houses all the drain and return plumbing to keep the water a constant level within the display tank and surface skimming while being super quiet and taking up a very small amount of real estate inside of the tank. The return nozzle is fully adjustable for to direct the flow where you need it, and the dual drain system keeps overflows from happening like a single drain design may encounter. The dual drain design has one main drain that includes a diaphragm valve for easy tuning and adjustments. The other drain is completely open to flow directly down into the sump in the event that the main drain gets clogged. If plumbing is one of the reasons why you have never wanted to install a tank with a sump don’t worry as Red Sea has done all the planning for you and there is no gluing needed to assemble and seal all the plumbing.

 

Filtration

The sump includes a filter sock holder and sock to keep large pieces of debris and detritus from clogging pumps and other pieces of equipment. The water can then flow from the filter sock into the skimmer compartment where the water will keep a steady level to aid in the best performance in your choice of skimmer or any other filtration components that you choose to include can be placed there. The water will then flow through the final bubble trap and into the final chamber where the return pump (not included) can be placed to pump water back through the Reefer tanks return plumbing.

 

Integrated Top Off

When water starts to evaporate all Reefer systems include an integrated top off system and reservoir that can hold a few days worth of top off water to keep the water level, salinity and flow rates consistent throughout the tank.

Product Questions

Is the only difference between this model and that of the deluxe 170, the light that comes with the package?
Question by: Jared on Jan 21, 2022, 10:16 AM
Hey Jared, thanks for the question! You are correct. The Red Sea Deluxe Reefer aquariums come with Red Sea ReefLED 90 lighting along with Red Sea's RL90 mounting system all in a single package.

What return pump would you recommend for this tank?
Question by: Charles Weller on May 23, 2017, 4:19 PM
There are a lot of great pump choices out there from the basic AC pumps such as Sicce or Eheim (both solid choices) up to the more feature-rich DC pump options such as the Reef Octopus varios line. A good starting point would probably be the Eheim Compact ON 2100 or 3000, or the Sicce 2.0 or 3.0. Can't go wrong with either choice.

Have a great day!

Can the Reefer 170 be bought without the sump? If so, What is the price with out the sump?

I need a larger sump than what is provided with the Reefer 170; What do you recommend?

Great question! Unfortunately we do not offer the option of purchasing without a sump. :-)
