Great video!! It is worth mentioning that the best way to get the silent drain is to slightly adjust the valve. Major adjustments won't work so well! Click the valve once, let the system adjust and re-adjust as needed. My Reefer 250 has been setup for 17ish months and I've had no issues with the valve or noise! Oh yeah RedSea customer support is great if you need something!
Great video. It explained a lot of things to me about setting up a sump system. I’ve never had a sump as they can be noisy and I worry they may leak. I might go for a sump system after seeing this video. Can you tell me if there is any noise from the intake of the tank or in the sump?
I would love to see a video on a set up on the bigger 750 xxl. I am pretty sure it would be very similar but would love to see brs recommendations on the equipment.
You guys made a mistake at the 3:32 mark the amount you guys said was 54 gallons that is JUST display tank if you look the total volume is 65 gal accounting the 11 gal sump otherwise great video as always
Is there anyway to set up a refugium? I would like to have one but do not know how to install and if one is needed. Will it help keep good nutrients in my aquarium? Another reason why I am asking is because I would like to get a ruby red dragonet. Supposedly refugiums help with copapods which they eat. I love your informative and detailed videos! Thanks you for listening! Please reply and keep making great videos!
Thanks for this video and all the videos that you guys produce. I feel like you have educated me to the point that I can have a successful reef tank and this red reef 250 what I am considering. But as a newbie, one of the missing links in the chain is quarantine. I actually think this could be a opportunity for BRS to offer some sort of turn key quarantine system. Red Reef offers a turn key reef tank. Everyone needs a quarantine system - tank, light, heater, pump, etc.. How about some sort of review or education on this? One of my thought is to have a small tank for a refugium and then use it as a quarantine when I get something new as I don't expect to be adding new fish or corals all that frequently. But can I take a refugium off line for a month or so without throwing off the display system? And the light and pump will probably be different so it may not really work anyway. So there is this void in my knowledge that I am looking to you to fill. Thank you!!
Very good suggestion! We've been bringing in a few different fish medications onto our website recently, so we'll be better able to serve our customers' QT needs once we stock the necessary meds.
Great video! You sold me! But Randy, Randy, Randy, you put the sand in before the rock! ;) Question on cycling... you said to wait a month before introducing your first fish. I've found with my freshwater tanks that you want to put a few fish in to enter and cycle nutrients and the BIG thing, a cleanup crew or you'll be fighting algae FOREVER! Is this different in a salt tank? Opinions?
Nice Tank in which Mode/Shedule run the Vortechs and what is the positioning on the Glass, seems like the right one is more on the back and the left one more forward. Love your Channel, greetings from Germany
Thank you! Sorry I didn't say it in my comment before but I would like a refugium next to the sump with the protein skimmer. I would like to have both and not just one or the other. Is there anyway to make that work?
The Red Sea Reefer tanks will not come with a return pump. There are a variety of tank sizes that require different size return pumps, but the Varios pumps are ones that we'd highly recommend.
In this video you don't mention doing a 100% water change after putting in the reefsaver rock,sand and the Dr. Tims and letting it sit for a month. However on your website it is advised. I am setting up a brand new red sea 350 with reefsaver rock. Kinda hate to discard 80 gallons of water if its not necessary,.
So I had a jbj65 crack on me yesterday and I'm now regretting my decision even more that I didn't go with the Reefer 250. I had 2 mp10's from Eco Tech for flow on that tank, would those be a good idea for this one? I'm not even sure I'm 100% going to replace it as I lost everything I had in the tank as I was home alone when it cracked.
Two MP10s will get you in the right direction, but for the size of the Reefer250, I think you will find that you might want to supplement them with one or two more pumps. Gyres or crossflow type pumps are my favorite choice for tanks like the Reefer250 size! :)
If you're concerned about sunlight, tank placement is going to be the biggest factor. You could also consider using window tint like material on the outside of the tank on the sides that are affected. Obviously, you'd want to avoid that on the front viewing panel, however.
BulkReefSupplyCom: which of the two need to calibrate the lest? Or do I need to recalibrate every week month? Thanks. I’m in the market for one, this two are great! I just want to rely on it!
The Red Sea Reefer tanks have a very simple gravity fed ATO system. Once you run the line from the included ATO reservoir to the float valve, you'll first fill up the sump to the proper water height, then fill the ATO reservoir with fresh RODI water. That's it! 🙂
BulkReefSupplyCom i always saw the reefer as a second or many there after tank not a first tank. It makes sense as the light and skimmer and even the return pump are all up to the individual. Then to go against all that sense they throw in, in my opinion, a crappy sump. Also this Channel and it's evidence based approach is the reason I went for a decent sized fuge!

Do you still have the 250? How is it after all this time? Did you have any problems with it?
Man these RS tanks are beautiful.
If my Ex's Mama can clomp around in my place without falling through.. this tank should be fine.
i'm looking forward to meeting y'all this weekend!
best referance video for a red sea reefer 250 please update us with the v3 sump system
Awesome instructional vid. Tank looks great.
Thank you for this video ❤️
My dream tank XL200 . Hopefully in a year I'll get it.My corals is growing crazy fast in Evo tank .
Great video. It explained a lot of things to me about setting up a sump system.
I’ve never had a sump as they can be noisy and I worry they may leak.
I might go for a sump system after seeing this video.
Can you tell me if there is any noise from the intake of the tank or in the sump?
Things i dream about:
1. Setting up new reef tanks and watching them thriving
2. Repeat!
I would love to see a video on a set up on the bigger 750 xxl. I am pretty sure it would be very similar but would love to see brs recommendations on the equipment.
Love my Reefer 350!
You guys made a mistake at the 3:32 mark the amount you guys said was 54 gallons that is JUST display tank if you look the total volume is 65 gal accounting the 11 gal sump otherwise great video as always
BulkReefSupplyCom only know because im considering this tank xD
Great tank! I am running one!
pelphrey how crap i was litrally just watching your videos to help me decide xD

I've been waiting for this one!
Will you do one for a Waterbox tank?

Man I want these aquariums, but have to save for it

Beautiful Aquarium 👍 how keep your Sand clean?
yes! I wanted this video

Love your Channel, greetings from Germany
BulkReefSupplyCom i think it was not too bad that you have done.
Have an Reefer525xl and iam not very happy with the 2 Mp40Qd.
Been dying to get a new redsea.
I have to step my game up, so beautiful!😭
Thank you! Sorry I didn't say it in my comment before but I would like a refugium next to the sump with the protein skimmer. I would like to have both and not just one or the other. Is there anyway to make that work?
How come I feel like I saw two or 3 of the last BRSTV videos and they are the exact same Vids?
BulkReefSupplyCom I see. Your videos are awesome.
does just the tank purchase come with pumps ready for use or do you need additional parts?
The Red Sea Reefer tanks will not come with a return pump. There are a variety of tank sizes that require different size return pumps, but the Varios pumps are ones that we'd highly recommend.
@@BRStv thank you. new to salt water and am looking for a nice setup
Amazing!!!
which light schedule is being used? Could it be shared?

BulkReefSupplyCom great.. thanks for the reply. You guys are awesome.
Awesome bro
Cool video, what kind of cortal is the big green wavy top left? I´m a noob , is it zoanthis?
Thanks a lot, I need one of these :)
How well would corals grow if I put one ecotech radion G4 on the 250 version
BulkReefSupplyCom so no need for two
How close do I put my lights from the overflow box thanks

Is it possible to keep to 2 coral angels with a flame angel?
Hi what can be done to eliminate sunlight effecting your tank.
If you're concerned about sunlight, tank placement is going to be the biggest factor. You could also consider using window tint like material on the outside of the tank on the sides that are affected. Obviously, you'd want to avoid that on the front viewing panel, however.
Nice!
Does the Neptune will work on freshwater or is just for saltwater? Or I can use the pm1 alone just for the ph?!
BulkReefSupplyCom: which of the two need to calibrate the lest? Or do I need to recalibrate every week month? Thanks.
I’m in the market for one, this two are great! I just want to rely on it!
Thanks for your help! I just place the order for the pinpoint
Wait can I use the reservoir as a refugieum?
What is the green coral at the top ?
Hello mate what's the name of the green coral on the left top of the rock?
Cheers
JoHn AiR gsp
can you test Aquatic Life Twist-In 100 GPD 4-Stage RO/DI System
I don't like that it doesn't come with a top. The DIY thing is too confusing.
'let's remove the headphone jack' couldn't have put it better.
[Insert Name Here] what is wrong with it
Where can I find gsp that look that green. I have never seen gsp look that full and that green.
good⚘⚘⚘👍

Any guys can help a newbie out here, I've just ordered a red sea reefer 250
Came here to see how to setup the ato.. all this seems to be is a commercial heh.
The Red Sea Reefer tanks have a very simple gravity fed ATO system. Once you run the line from the included ATO reservoir to the float valve, you'll first fill up the sump to the proper water height, then fill the ATO reservoir with fresh RODI water. That's it! 🙂
This was sponsored right?
First!!
😎☝🏻
I like the reader series but the sumps are stupid! Why are they not the full size of the cabinet with a separate skimmer and fuge area.
BulkReefSupplyCom i always saw the reefer as a second or many there after tank not a first tank. It makes sense as the light and skimmer and even the return pump are all up to the individual. Then to go against all that sense they throw in, in my opinion, a crappy sump. Also this Channel and it's evidence based approach is the reason I went for a decent sized fuge!
400th like!!!!!
Nice run down!! If you guys like this setup. Hit up my channel I have a build on the same one.
