Having pre-designed lighting for the tank greatly simplifies setup and eliminates the need to find additional solutions from the outset. The installation maintains a clean, modern, and well-integrated look, creating a visually harmonious whole.

Red Sea G3 range: a technical evolution designed for greater comfort and reliability

The Red Sea G3 series represents a true evolution in the approach to premium reef aquariums. It's not simply a cosmetic change. The entire design has been revamped to make the system more user-friendly, easier to adjust, and more reassuring to maintain. The ReefATO+ is now included, helping to maintain a constant water level and stable salinity—two essential parameters in a marine aquarium. The G3 generation also features a ReefMat Ready sump , a redesigned overflow , a new ReefGate valve , and improved hydrodynamic piping . In practice, this translates to a smoother, quieter, more user-friendly, and overall much more refined system.

Ultra-clear 8-12 mm glass tank: clear reef reading and a refined finish

The Reefer 170 G3 Deluxe features an ultra-clear glass tank that immediately highlights the details of the aquascape, the colors of the corals, and the presence of the fish. The front and bottom are made of 10mm glass , while the sides are 12mm and the back is 8mm . This design gives the tank a cohesive structure perfectly suited to its size. The beveled edges further enhance the perceived quality and give the aquarium a clean and refined look. The tank maintains a light profile, without any visible reinforcement, allowing for a clear view of the reef. The result is modern, elegant, and immediately visually appealing.

Black Marine-Spec furniture in marine plywood: a durable, understated and elegant base

The cabinet of the RED SEA Reefer 170 G3 Deluxe Black is an integral part of the system's overall quality. Made of marine plywood , it has been designed to better withstand humidity and the specific stresses of a reef environment. The adjustable feet facilitate leveling, a particularly useful detail for achieving a stable and clean setup. The black finish provides a deeper, more contemporary, and exceptionally elegant look, ideal for highlighting the premium character of the entire system. The aquarium thus maintains a more striking, modern visual presence while retaining a truly understated elegance. The cabinet complements the tank naturally without adding bulk, while also contributing to the long-term reliability of the setup.

Optimized overflow and silent water flow: a more pleasant aquarium to live in every day

For a marine aquarium installed in a living space, acoustic comfort is crucial. Red Sea has clearly addressed this aspect in the Reefer G3 . The plumbing is concealed within a large overflow with an overflow and surface suction, equipped with wide, removable combs for easy cleaning. The downpipes have been redesigned to reduce turbulence and therefore noise. Their rectangular inlet profile further improves the flow. In practice, this results in a more discreet, smoother, and much more pleasant system for everyday use. This kind of detail truly transforms the experience when the aquarium is placed in a living room or office.

High-precision ReefGate valve and advanced hydrodynamic piping for better-controlled circulation

The Reefer 170 G3 benefits from modernized hydraulic management for simpler adjustments and a more pleasant user experience. The new ReefGate valve , installed on the overflow, allows for much more precise flow adjustment. Once the correct balance is achieved, operation becomes significantly quieter. Simultaneously, the advanced hydrodynamic piping improves water circulation throughout the entire system. The dual-outlet configuration allows for the connection of one or two return pumps as needed. The total circulation system and main pump are not included, allowing for a customized setup perfectly suited to your reef aquarium project.

37-liter Reef-Spec ReefMat Ready sump: a compact and well-designed technical space

The Reef-Spec sump of the Reefer 170 G3 was designed to offer a clear, logical, and user-friendly technical space despite its compact size. With its 37-liter capacity, it provides a well-organized area for structuring the filtration system while maintaining excellent visibility. It is Refugium-ready and ReefMat compatible , with a removable baffle that facilitates the integration of a suitable ReefMat. It also features a height-adjustable skimmer compartment , micron bags , a removable media cup , and a bubble trap to prevent microbubbles from returning to the main tank. The skimmer, ReefMat, and main pump are not included, allowing for the freedom to build a system perfectly suited to your project.

ReefATO+ included and smart control via ReefBeat: enhanced stability for everyday use

All G3 models now come equipped with ReefATO+ , a real advantage for a marine aquarium of this size. This system helps maintain a constant water level and stable salinity , two essential parameters for the comfort of the tank's inhabitants and the overall balance of the reef. It also integrates a precise temperature probe and a high-sensitivity leak detector , further enhancing the system's safety. Control via the ReefBeat app adds a highly practical dimension for monitoring the system and keeping an eye on important parameters. For an ambitious reef project, it offers true daily convenience.
