Red Sea Reefer

ajanicki10 · Dec 27, 2015

I have been planning for a few months to upgrade my 40 breeder to a Red Sea Reefer 450. I have spent so much time looking at the reefer, i haven't compared it to other tanks. Does anyone have any recommendation for a drilled tank and stand combo in the 110/125 gallon tank range?

I have never seen one in person and this looks like it would be devastating on the wallet.

It would be...elos are nice but a bit too expensive IMO. The reefer is nice. There is also cadlights.

Have not heard great things about Cadlights from LFS. Also too many of these floating around out there. https://www.reefs.com/blog/2015/10/11/cad-lights-aquarium-disaster/

Red Sea comes out with Reefer XL

I would have went with the XL over my custom build had it been available back then

Me too it has everything you could possibly need and great finish as well

I think the sump for reefer is a little small, I am using 40b for sump right now for my old 4x2x2 visio tank that I bought used. still considering to upgrade to XL 425

There is the ADA 120-H but that is $1400 and not drilled.

Over 100g and similar to Reefer and not custom is tough to find.

AquaForest makes tanks. Vertex does too. Eheim and Giesmann. None sold in US afaik.

Im probably going to look into the prices of the reefer when the XL comes to market in March. Its sharp but i wanted to see what everyone else recommended before i made my purchase.

I have tried all of the LFS that can sell it and they havent even gotten a price on it. They are available in UK, but havent heard of anyone having it yet stateside.

I am aware that the reefer is currently in the market. I am awaiting the pricing on the addition XL models releasing soon in the states.

Maybe they haven't reached every part of the US yet. All the LFS I frequent have access to them and one even has the 425XL on display in the store. The extra width is really nice.

Can you take a pic of their rock scape if it's still there? I just ordered the 425 xl and want ideas on how to do it but can't find many images/videos online. Thanks!
