Red Sea Reefer MAX Peninsula S-950 G3 - 250 Gallon Aquarium
The Red Sea REEFER MAX G3 is a "Plug & Play" smart aquarium system designed to provide a comprehensive, fully equipped setup for a thriving coral reef. It integrates the entire REEFER G3 aquarium range with Red Sea's full suite of smart lighting, filtration, and circulation devices, offering a complete, compatible ecosystem controlled entirely via the ReefBeat App.
Key Features and Components
1. Aquarium and Cabinet
-
Ultra-Clear Glass: Constructed from reinforced, ultra-clear glass with a thickness of up to 19 mm (0.75”).
-
Models 425 and above are eurobraced for extra strength.
-
Smaller models (170-350) are rimless with smooth, beveled edges.
-
Fortified Plywood Cabinet: The marine-spec plywood cabinet ensures durability and stability.
-
It features leveling feet for easy setup.
-
Models 525 and above include additional front aluminum supports for reinforcement.
-
The cabinet features laminated plywood panels, epoxy-painted doors, and stainless steel hinges.
2. Silent Water Management System
The plumbing is fully redesigned to ensure optimal water flow and near-silent operation:
- Silent Downflow: Features an enlarged rectangular inlet to the downflow pipe, significantly reducing turbulence and noise.
- High-Precision Gate Valve: The new ReefGate is a bespoke, high-precision gate valve on the downflow pipe, allowing for easy and fine regulation of flow.
- Optimized Circulation: The system delivers up to 50% more water circulation than previous generations, with hydrodynamically superior piping and dual return pump outlets for improved water distribution.
- Overflow: A central overflow box is fitted with a removable surface skimmer for simple maintenance.
- Sump: Includes a dedicated Reef Spec sump and a separate chamber for a chiller and other hardware.
3. Included Smart Devices (ReefBeat App Controlled)
The "MAX" system comes complete with Red Sea's essential smart equipment, all controllable through the centralized ReefBeat App:
-
Lighting (ReefLED G2): Includes either the ReefLED G2 115 or ReefLED G2 170 with a custom mounting system.
-
The compact LED array delivers a rich, reef-safe spectrum, tunable from 10,000K reef-white to 23,000K REEF-SPEC Blue (augmented with violet and UV).
-
Features a separate 3W Moonlight channel for nighttime viewing.
-
ReefBeat functions include random clouds, acclimation settings, a lunar cycle, and customized light settings.
- Return Pump (ReefRun G2 DC Pump): A highly efficient, powerful, and virtually silent DC pump with flow rates ranging from 4,000 to 12,000 lph (1,060–3,200 gph). It can be operated locally or linked to ReefBeat via the ReefRun Dual Controller for advanced features.
- Filtration (ReefMat): A fully automated roller filter that keeps water crystal clear. It is ReefBeat-controlled and features a unique mat replacement system for hassle-free maintenance.
- Protein Skimmer (REEFER DC Skimmer): Features self-leveling technology, which is controlled via the ReefBeat App to prevent over-skimming and cups from spilling while maintaining aeration.
- Water Circulation (ReefWave): Provides optimal REEF-SPEC water flow for corals using a smooth-running, energy-efficient sine-wave motor drive combined with superior vibration damping mounts and dual bearings.
- Auto Top-Off (ReefATO+): This advanced system keeps water volume and salinity stable. It also includes an accurate temperature monitor and a highly sensitive leak detector, all managed through the ReefBeat App.
