A Look at the G2 (Generation 2) Red Sea ReefRun Controllable Pump

Red Sea has unveiled its latest innovation for marine aquariums: the ReefRun Gen 2 (G2) DC controllable pumps. These advanced return pumps are designed to provide aquarists with powerful, energy-efficient, and virtually silent operation, all while offering smart features for seamless integration into modern reef systems.

Silent and Powerful Performance

The ReefRun G2 DC pumps utilize advanced Sine Wave DC motor technology, ensuring exceptionally quiet operation even at full capacity. This makes them an ideal choice for aquarists seeking to maintain a tranquil environment. The pumps are available in four models, delivering flow rates from 4,000 to 12,000 liters per hour (1,060 to 3,200 gallons per hour), catering to a wide range of aquarium sizes and requirements. 

Energy Efficiency

Energy consumption is a critical consideration for any aquarium hobbyist. The ReefRun G2 pumps are engineered for high performance with minimal energy usage. Depending on the model, power consumption ranges between 16 to 105 watts, ensuring that even the most demanding setups remain cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Smart Features and Integration

A standout feature of the ReefRun G2 series is its compatibility with Red Sea's ReefBeat App ecosystem. This integration allows users to create automated daily schedules with adjustable intensities, set up pulse modes for closed-loop wave installations, and receive real-time notifications if the pump is running dry or blocked. Such smart capabilities provide aquarists with enhanced control and peace of mind. 

ReefRun Dual Controller

To maximize functionality, Red Sea offers the ReefRun Dual Controller (sold separately), which can manage both a ReefRun G2 DC pump and a REEFER DC Skimmer simultaneously. This controller enables manual operation of the pump, including ON/OFF toggling and intensity adjustments, even without an internet connection. When connected to the ReefBeat App, users can access additional features such as customized feed modes, maintenance schedules, and emergency protocols.

User-Friendly Design

Installation and maintenance are simplified with the ReefRun G2 pumps. Each pump features a 360-degree rotating outlet for flexible hose alignment, inlet flow guides to prevent air intake from the water surface, and extra-long power cables with convenient connectors positioned near the pump. These thoughtful design elements ensure that the pumps can be easily integrated into various sump configurations.

Reliability and Warranty

Red Sea stands behind the quality and durability of the ReefRun G2 series by offering a comprehensive 5-year warranty. This assurance reflects the company's commitment to providing reliable and long-lasting equipment for marine aquariums.

In summary, the Red Sea ReefRun Gen 2 DC controllable pumps combine silent operation, robust performance, energy efficiency, and smart integration to meet the diverse needs of modern reef aquarists. Whether you're setting up a new system or upgrading an existing one, the ReefRun G2 series offers a versatile and dependable solution for maintaining optimal water circulation in your marine environment.
