Get Ready to Elevate your Aquarium Game with the Red Sea G2 ReefRun DC Controllable Pumps

Powerful Performance Meets Energy Efficiency

The Red Sea ReefRun G2 DC Pumps are engineered for high-performance water flow while keeping energy consumption low—an essential feature for any energy-efficient aquarium pump. Available in four models—4000, 6000, 8000, and 12000—these pumps offer adjustable flow rates ranging from 530 GPH to an impressive 3200 GPH, with maximum head pressure heights of up to 19 feet. Whether you’re running a small nano reef or a sprawling 900-gallon system, there’s a ReefRun G2 model tailored to your needs.

What sets these pumps apart? Their advanced sine wave DC motor technology ensures quiet operation even at full power, while power draw ranges from a modest 16 watts for the 4000 model to 105 watts for the 12000 model. This balance of power and efficiency reduces operating costs, making the ReefRun G2 a smart choice for eco-conscious reef keepers looking to optimize their reef tank filtration and circulation.

Innovative Features for Ultimate Control

The Red Sea G2 ReefRun DC Pumps are loaded with innovative features that redefine what a controllable DC pump can do:

1. Built-In Flow Controller: Unlike their predecessors, the G2 pumps come with a wired controller for standalone operation. Adjust flow intensity or turn the pump on and off manually—no internet required. For advanced control, pair it with the optional ReefRun Dual Controller and unlock wireless customization via the ReefBeat app.
2. 180-Degree Rotating Outlet: Flexibility is key in aquarium setups, and the G2’s rotating outlet makes installation a breeze. Combined with universal connectors, it adapts to any plumbing configuration, ensuring seamless integration into your freshwater or saltwater aquarium.
3. Inlet Flow Guides: Say goodbye to unwanted air bubbles. The inlet flow guides prevent air intake from the water surface, maintaining consistent water movement and a healthy environment for your fish and other aquarium livestock.
4. Extra-Long 10-Foot Power Cable: Maintenance just got easier. With connectors positioned next to the pump, the extended cable simplifies access and reduces downtime during routine care.
5. Smart Notifications via ReefBeat: When connected to the ReefRun Dual Controller, the ReefBeat app provides real-time alerts for issues like dry running, disconnections, or malfunctions—keeping your tank equipment running smoothly.
6. Customizable Schedules and Modes: Tailor your pump’s performance to your tank’s needs. Set daily flow schedules, activate feed mode to pause circulation, or use pulse mode as a wave pump for closed-loop wave installations—all through the intuitive ReefBeat app.
7. Dual Pump Compatibility: The ReefRun Dual Controller can manage two G2 pumps—or a G2 pump and a Red Sea REEFER DC Skimmer—offering cost-effective scalability for larger systems or redundancy setups.
8. 5-Year Warranty: Built on the reliable Sicce platform and backed by Red Sea’s 5-year warranty, these pumps promise durability and peace of mind.
9. Cleaning: This pump is probably the easiest pump to clean out and service when needed. Simply lift the 2 red levers at the front of the motor block to remove the impeller for easy cleaning. There is no need to remove any screws becuase there are none. This is one of those features that makes you think, why didn't I think of that?

Seamless Integration with the ReefBeat Ecosystem

The Red Sea ReefRun G2 isn’t just a standalone pump—it’s part of a smart ecosystem. When paired with the ReefRun Dual Controller and the ReefBeat app integration, you gain precise control over your entire reef tank setup of freshwater aquarium. Create custom flow patterns, sync with other Red Sea devices like the REEFER DC Skimmer, and monitor performance from your smartphone. Whether you’re feeding your corals or performing maintenance, quick-action modes ensure your tank stays in top shape with minimal effort.
