Red Sea REEFER S-850 G3 White Reef System
- Large white REEFER-S platform: The S-850 G3 offers a long 180 cm display with a clean white cabinet finish for a bright premium installation.
- 224.5 gallon total volume: The 850 L system volume provides strong stability for a mature reef with larger coral colonies and advanced equipment planning.
- Split sump flexibility: The main sump and extension section support extra filtration planning, refugium use, frag capacity, or equipment organization.
- Custom equipment freedom: Return pumps, lights, skimmer, heater, wavemakers, dosing, and controllers are chosen separately.
- G3 water-management package: Silent downflow, ReefGate control, surface skimming, optimized plumbing, and dual returns are all built into the system.
- Showpiece-ready footprint: The 180 cm length gives the reef a dramatic presence in large rooms, offices, showrooms, and dedicated aquarium spaces.
Ultra-Clear 180 cm Euro-Braced Display
- 680 litre display volume: The main display provides 179.6 gallons of aquarium space for large aquascapes, coral colonies, and selected reef fish.
- 180 x 68 x 65 cm dimensions: The long and deep footprint supports layered aquascapes, open channels, islands, caves, and broad coral zones.
- 19 mm glass panels: The S-850 G3 is listed with 19 mm front, side, bottom, and back glass.
- Euro-braced design: The bracing supports the large display while maintaining a clean professional appearance.
- Low-iron clarity: Ultra-clear glass improves viewing quality through the large panels and helps reef colours look cleaner.
- Bright cabinet contrast: The white stand visually lightens the large system while keeping focus on the display.
White Aluminum Cabinet and Control Organization
- Aluminum super-structure: The cabinet uses a rigid marine-spec aluminum frame built for large-system support.
- Replaceable white panels: The white exterior gives the aquarium a clean modern furniture-style finish.
- Hidden adjustable feet: Leveling feet help with proper installation while preserving the cabinet’s finished look.
- Slide-out control panel: The control panel supports organized mounting for controllers, power supplies, dosing equipment, and smart reef devices.
- Large equipment cabinet: The stand gives practical space for the split sump, ReefATO+, cables, controllers, and upgrades.
- Modern showpiece look: The white cabinet suits contemporary interiors and reduces the visual weight of the large aquarium.
Dual Returns and ReefGate Plumbing
- Optimized flow design: REEFER-S G3 plumbing is designed for stronger and more efficient circulation.
- Low-turbulence downflow: The enlarged rectangular inlet helps the system run more quietly.
- ReefGate precision valve: The drain can be tuned in small increments for stable water level and reduced noise.
- Central surface skimmer: The removable skimmer helps pull surface film into the filtration path.
- Curved dual return nozzles: Return outlets help spread flow across the 180 cm display.
- Ready-to-install plumbing: Included pipework reduces setup guesswork and keeps the sump area organized.
Split Sump and ReefATO+ Control
- 170 litre sump capacity: The split sump gives space for return pumps, skimmer selection, media, reactors, dosing lines, probes, and maintenance access.
- Main plus extension sump: The extension can be used for extra filtration flexibility, refugium-style planning, frag space, or other large-system needs.
- ReefMat-ready chamber: The mechanical section includes micron socks and media cups and accepts an optional ReefMat 1200.
- Integrated ReefATO+: ReefATO+ supports water-level stability, salinity control, temperature monitoring, and leak detection.
- Advanced filtration planning: The sump layout can support a high-performance skimmer, reactors, automatic filtration, and dosing equipment.
- Long-term scalability: The S-850 can be built as a refined mixed reef and upgraded into a heavily automated coral system over time.
