columbiagorge Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hi- Took a break while we moved and looking to get back into the hobby. Going to start fresh and curious what everyone opinions are with the Red Sea Reef Tanks are. Thanks much in advance for your opinion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have a Red Sea Reefer XL 425 that's almost 2 years old now. Overall I love it, but there are a few things that most Red Sea customers will probably complain about: The included plumbing is metric, and is made from a different kind of plastic that seems a bit brittle. Use caution when tightening the connectors so they don't crack. The overflow control valve is finicky, so you frequently need to fiddle with the valve to keep the overflow from gurgling. I have to adjust mine at least once per week, sometimes more. The built-in ATO isn't great. I converted my ATO reservoir into a refugium and used a different ATO solution instead. Other than that, it looks great and is pretty high quality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Tavan Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have both a Red Sea and a waterbox currently. I like the waterbox more. Plumbing is so much better. I love the all glass overflow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
