Red Sea Reefer 170 G3 - White Cabinet

Red Sea Reefer 170 G3 - White Cabinet

The Red Sea Reefer 170 G3 - White Cabinet is a premium compact reef-ready aquarium system that gives aquarists Red Sea’s sump-based REEFER G3 platform in a bright modern white cabinet finish.

This 165 L / 43.6 gal reef-ready system is designed for hobbyists who want a professional foundation for a custom reef build without choosing a fully preconfigured MAX or Deluxe package. It features a rimless ultra-clear display, marine-spec white cabinet, REEF-SPEC sump, ReefMat-ready mechanical filtration section, silent downflow system, ReefGate precision valve, integrated ReefATO+, and Red Sea’s upgraded G3 flow architecture for a cleaner, quieter, more expandable reef system.

Red Sea REEFER 170 G3 White Reef System

• Compact sump-based reef platform: The REEFER 170 G3 gives reef keepers the equipment flexibility of a sump system in a compact footprint that is easier to place than larger reef aquariums.
• White cabinet presentation: The white marine-spec cabinet gives the aquarium a clean, bright, furniture-style look for modern homes, condos, offices, and retail display spaces.
• Base REEFER flexibility: This system leaves lighting, return pump, skimmer, heater, and flow equipment open for the customer to choose based on reef goals and budget.
• Rimless modern profile: The smaller REEFER G3 models use a clean rimless design with smooth beveled edges for a polished display-tank appearance.
• Ideal for planned reef builds: The 170 is a strong choice for hobbyists who want a carefully selected equipment package rather than a one-size-fits-all aquarium kit.
• Red Sea upgrade path: The system is well matched to optional Red Sea hardware such as ReefRun pumps, ReefLED lighting, REEFER skimmers, ReefMat, ReefDose, and ReefBeat-connected devices.

Ultra-Clear Display with White Cabinet Styling

• 60 cm compact display: The aquarium’s 60 cm length makes it easy to fit into smaller rooms while still providing a real reef display presence.
• 33.8 gallon display volume: The 128 L display provides room for a refined aquascape, small reef fish, coral gardens, and carefully planned mixed reef stocking.
• Ultra-clear glass: Low-iron viewing panels improve clarity so coral colour, fish movement, and aquascape detail are easier to appreciate.
• Useful front-to-back depth: The 50 cm width gives enough depth for layered rockwork, open sand, swim-throughs, and coral placement zones.
• Marine-spec white cabinet: The cabinet supports the aquarium properly while creating a coordinated light-coloured display installation.
• Clean equipment concealment: Sump equipment stays below the display so the aquarium remains focused on the reef rather than visible hardware.

G3 Flow, Overflow, and ReefGate Control

• Improved water management: REEFER G3 systems use redesigned hydrodynamic piping and flow architecture for better circulation efficiency.
• Quiet downflow design: The enlarged rectangular downflow inlet helps reduce turbulence and supports quieter operation.
• ReefGate precision valve: The high-precision valve allows fine tuning of the drain line so the overflow can be adjusted for stable, near-silent performance.
• Central overflow box: The overflow includes a removable surface skimmer to help pull film and debris from the water surface.
• Curved return nozzles: Improved return outlets help distribute water back into the display more effectively than a simple straight return.
• Pre-assembled plumbing kit: Included plumbing reduces setup guesswork and gives the system a clean factory-designed water path.

REEF-SPEC Sump and Smart ReefATO+

• REEF-SPEC sump included: The in-cabinet sump provides dedicated space for mechanical filtration, skimming, media, return equipment, and optional upgrades.
• ReefMat-ready chamber: The mechanical filtration section includes micron socks and media cups and is designed for optional Red Sea ReefMat installation.
• Flexible filtration layout: The sump gives aquarists room to plan nutrient export, chemical filtration, skimmer sizing, dosing, and monitoring equipment.
• Integrated ReefATO+: The included smart ATO system helps maintain water level and salinity stability and includes temperature monitoring and leak detection.
• Cleaner maintenance access: Filtration equipment is consolidated in the cabinet, making service more practical than a rear-chamber nano system.
• Built for future equipment: The REEFER 170 G3 can grow with the reef as equipment needs change over time.

Application Notes for the REEFER 170 G3 White

• Best use: Designed for saltwater reef aquariums, compact custom reef systems, soft coral displays, LPS reefs, and carefully planned mixed reefs.
• Equipment selection: Choose a return pump, skimmer, lighting, heater, and flow pumps before setup so the system is ready for cycling.
• Custom reef advantage: The base REEFER format allows customers to build around preferred lighting and filtration choices rather than buying duplicate equipment later.
• Flow planning: Add wavemakers as needed based on coral selection, aquascape shape, and desired flow pattern.
• ReefMat option: The ReefMat-ready sump makes automatic mechanical filtration a straightforward upgrade path.
• Not included: Lighting, return pump, protein skimmer, heater, wavemakers, livestock, rock, sand, salt, optional ReefMat, dosing equipment, and test kits are sold separately unless otherwise stated.
