Very nice review, thank you for giving us opportunity to view everything up close :)
Just ordered my reefer 250, great video.
Don’t forget to mention the wallpaper. 😉
Good effort, it's good to see red sea have given things some thought, hard to get it perfect but versitily is key.
Might want to cover that display if you have not already, some nice wrasse in there.
Insert filter socks after removing the tray- comes in and out smoothly. Just press them down firmly.
Nice sump update
Thanks for the thorough review. A technical note,: your voice as captured varies quite a bit in volume.
Thanks - I've had trouble getting the audio right but I think I've nailed it since this video. I did one on Friday called "Top 7 Characters For Your Reef Tank". I think that's the first video where the sound is right. 👍
You cant slide the filters out, because the holder is upside down.
Great Vid! Sorry for the dumb question, but what is the manifold for? Could you have done without it?
Yes, absolutely - it's optional. It's just a line of 4 taps plumbed to one pump, which means I don't need to use separate pumps for various filters. But I actually only have one filter on it at the moment (UV steriliser) so it's a bit pointless! I did briefly have a phosphate reactor on it too.
Your water crystal clear, what brand of skimmer you are using ..
It's a Nyos Quantum 220 👍
How’s the Noise level on skimmer ?
Love the t-shirt as soon as i saw that.... instant sub lol
👌👌👌
Since you mentioned about a snail getting stuck in one of your drains, is it of any use placing some sort of mesh or grate on them
I wouldn't do that - feels like it'll create more blockage
Nice setup. It looks super clean and neat. I have the Red Sea max 650 and it does get humid in sump area. Can you access your sump from both sides?
Yes, although I've set it up for one side only.
This system looks more complicated than inside of my gaming laptop.
The shirt wins!
Pitty you're using a peninsula with a side to the wall. A 650xxl would have been a more logical choice.
I would have loved a 5 foot+ tank! But I was only allowed a 4 foot. I chose this over the 425xl as I preferred the side weir and I love the look of seeing through two panes of glass. A true peninsula room divided would be amazing but I don't regret getting this over the 425.
Hi Iv just strayed across you channel great looking setup , can you tell me what power socket strips your using or possibly a link to buy them I'm looking for the same thing myself and not having any luck finding them
I actually wouldn't recommend them - if there's a power cut, it stays off until you press the on button again. So a 2 second power cut could wipe out the tank. I'll be replacing them when I can.
@@ReefDork thanks for the heads up, I found a similar thing today with remote I will now go for something different thanks again you have saved me a lot of probable pain
Yeah, mine has a remote. Says it turns each plug on/off individually... It doesn't!
Thank for your video, have just found you wish I had before this. Had our system about a week now and at last got the valve to work after taking it apart and re-seating it. Our tank is the 250 so not as large as your. Can you explain about the manifold what it is for? Thanks shelagh
Yep, it's just a pipe with several outlets. You attach it a return pump then you can run several pieces of equipment from it - like a phosphate reactor, UV steriliser etc. They're diy projects but you can get help from your LFS
Thank
What are the roller style hooks on the inside of the door and where can I buy them?
Got them from. Amazon - I think there are links in the description of this video - ua-cam.com/video/mlfX-t2PyWs/v-deo.html
I plan to use Nyos 120 skimmer, Nyos Torq, and save save space for refugium using the baffle. Is this doable on Reefer 250?
I would have thought so, yes. Have a quick check of the dimensions though to make sure they fit.
Hi, I understand how you change the height of the water in the skimmer area but how do you increase the level of the water in the return pump area pls?
You adjust the height of the freshwater top off level sensor. Although on red Sea sumps, that's fixed so you can't adjust the height.
@@ReefDork thank you so much. So, nothing to do with moving any baffles, just moving the float in the return sump area? I believe that can be adjusted by moving it up or down carefully until it clicks and so will try that. Many thanks
Yep, that's it 🙂
I'm getting a light colored furry hair on my live Rock. heard it could be bacterial bloom but just wanted to feed back. 80 gallon tank. 100 pounds of live rock and 80 pounds of sand. 4 fish a handful of coral. ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10. ca 400 alk 7.5 to 8 mag 1200. been set up for year. have about 25 turbo snails and 30ish snails. any advice?
If it's bacteria, a UV steriliser should sort it. Hard to identify without a photo though - I'd recommend posting the above info on a forum like Reef2Reef 🙂
Where did you buy parts for your manifold, and is that a UV
AAC in Harlow got them for me. Yes, it's an Eheim Reeflex UV.
@@ReefDork it's hard to get ball valves at a fairly good size
you running vca nozzle ?
Yep, random flow generator. It's alright - nothing special.
Water shouldn’t be going down your emergency drain 🤦🏽♂️ tiny movements on the herbie dial, or adjust return pump :)
Easier said than done with the Red Sea diaphragm
@@ReefDork the easiest way to do it, throw that 2 inch baffle away and thigns will be better, i took mine out within 2 hours of filling my tank its nothing but a noisy aggrivation
What plug socks are they? Are they wifi or bluetooth? Thanks
What time in the video? I'll have a look...
Reef Dork 9:09 and thanks
Ah those things! They're rubbish! Not wifi or Bluetooth and they don't turn back on after a power cut! I use transcension DJ switches now.
Reef Dork Yh I watched that video. When I get my refer 250 I will be doing this also after watching your video.
Is there any way to add a refigium to this sump?
Yes, the 2nd section is refugium ready
Which Nyos skimmer is this?
It's the 220
Really nice presented video and informative, no interest in marine but great video
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it 👍
Same sump as the new reefer xl300
Sorry that was a question
