Red Sea Reefer S-700 G3 - Black Cabinet
Red Sea Reefer S-700 G3 - Black Cabinet
The Red Sea Reefer S-700 G3 - Black Cabinet is a premium 699 litre / 184.6 gallon reef-ready aquarium and cabinet system built for aquarists who want Red Sea’s REEFER-S G3 platform in a large 150 cm format with a black aluminum super-structure cabinet.
Designed for high-end custom reef builds, the REEFER S-700 G3 combines a euro-braced 19 mm ultra-clear glass display, rigid aluminum cabinet frame, replaceable black panels, slide-out control panel, REEF-SPEC sump, ReefMat-ready mechanical chamber, ReefGate precision drain valve, central overflow with removable surface skimmer, curved dual returns, pre-assembled plumbing, and integrated ReefATO+ smart top-off control. This is a base REEFER-S system, so lighting, return pump, skimmer, heater, wavemakers, livestock, rock, sand, salt, and optional ReefMat are selected separately.
Red Sea REEFER S-700 G3 Black Reef System
- Large REEFER-S reef platform: The S-700 G3 gives reef keepers a substantial 150 cm display with the deeper 68 cm front-to-back dimension that defines the REEFER-S lineup.
- 699 litre total system volume: The larger water volume supports improved stability, more flexible livestock planning, and better long-term coral growth potential than smaller reef systems.
- Black aluminum cabinet: The black cabinet creates a bold, high-contrast presentation while the aluminum super-structure provides a rigid premium support platform.
- Custom equipment freedom: Return pump, lighting, skimmer, heater, wavemakers, dosing, automation, and filtration upgrades can be chosen around the exact reef style being built.
- Premium G3 water management: The system includes Red Sea’s improved flow architecture, quiet downflow design, ReefGate drain control, and dual return outlets.
- Red Sea ecosystem ready: The S-700 G3 is a strong platform for optional ReefRun, ReefLED, ReefWave, ReefMat, ReefDose, REEFER skimmer, and ReefBeat-connected equipment.
19 mm Ultra-Clear Euro-Braced Display
- 564 litre display volume: The main aquarium provides 148.9 gallons of display space for larger coral colonies, carefully selected fish, open sand areas, and mature aquascaping.
- 150 x 68 x 65 cm display: The added 68 cm depth gives aquascapers room for layered rockwork, swim-throughs, caves, negative space, and front-to-back coral zoning.
- 19 mm glass construction: The S-700 G3 is listed with 19 mm front, side, bottom, and back glass for a substantial large-system build.
- Euro-braced format: The euro-bracing reinforces the large display while keeping the aquarium clean and professional looking.
- Ultra-clear viewing: Low-iron glass improves clarity and helps coral colour, fish movement, and reef lighting show with less green tint.
- Showpiece reef proportions: The 150 cm length and 65 cm height create a strong room presence while remaining more compact than the 180 cm and 210 cm REEFER-S models.
Black Aluminum Cabinet and Control Panel
- Aluminum super-structure: The cabinet uses a marine-spec aluminum frame for a strong premium support system.
- Replaceable black panels: The exterior panels create a finished black look while remaining part of Red Sea’s modular cabinet design.
- Hidden adjustable feet: Leveling feet help the system sit correctly on suitable flooring while preserving a clean exterior appearance.
- Slide-out control panel: The included panel gives a cleaner place to mount controllers, power supplies, dosing hardware, and smart reef equipment.
- Stainless hardware: Cabinet hardware is suited to the humid environment around marine aquariums.
- Organized equipment area: The cabinet provides practical space for the sump, ATO hardware, controller layout, cable management, and future upgrades.
G3 Flow System and ReefGate Tuning
- Optimized circulation: REEFER-S G3 systems use redesigned water management to improve circulation and efficiency.
- Quiet downflow: The enlarged rectangular downflow inlet helps reduce turbulence and operating noise when properly adjusted.
- ReefGate precision valve: The high-precision valve allows fine drain-line tuning for stable, near-silent overflow operation.
- Central overflow: The overflow includes a removable surface skimmer to help draw film and floating debris into the filtration path.
- Curved dual return outlets: Dual returns improve return-water distribution across the 150 cm display and complement dedicated reef wavemakers.
- Pre-assembled plumbing: Factory-designed downflow and return plumbing helps simplify setup and keeps the under-cabinet system clean.
REEF-SPEC Sump and ReefATO+
- 135 litre sump volume: The sump provides space for skimmer selection, return pump installation, mechanical filtration, media, probes, dosing lines, and maintenance access.
- ReefMat-ready mechanical chamber: The sump includes micron socks and media cups and can be upgraded with an optional Red Sea ReefMat 1200.
- Integrated ReefATO+: ReefATO+ helps manage evaporation, stabilize salinity, and provide temperature monitoring and leak detection.
- Refugium and media flexibility: The sump can support carbon, media reactors, refugium-style nutrient export, dosing, and monitoring equipment depending on the build.
- Serviceable large-system layout: The cabinet sump keeps equipment accessible without crowding the display.
- Strong long-term foundation: The system can start as a clean mixed reef and scale into a more automated high-performance coral system.
