Red Sea Reefer Peninsula 500 System
IN STORE PICKUP ONLY - ALLOW 1-6 WEEKS
Red Sea Reefer tanks are going to be the best foundation for any reefer that wants custom filtration while having an elegant and professional looking reef aquarium with an included sump, stand, and plumbing.
Peninsula aquariums are very similar to standard aquariums but instead of having a single large viewing panel the tank is turned 90 degrees giving you two large viewing panels and the overflow is placed along the short back wall. Peninsula tanks can be used in many different settings around a home or business!
Going from the top of the Reefer Peninsula systems down to the bottom, the first thing you will notice is the crystal clear glass and elegant beveled edges. The second thing you may or may not notice is the slim overflow that is now placed on the side panel that houses all the drain and return plumbing to keep the water a constant level within the display tank and surface skimming while being super quiet and taking up a very small amount of real estate inside of the tank. The return nozzle is fully adjustable for to direct the flow where you need it, and the dual drain system keeps overflows from happening like a single drain design may encounter. The dual drain design has one main drain that includes a diaphragm valve for easy tuning and adjustments. The other drain is completely open to flow directly down into the sump in the event that the main drain gets clogged. If plumbing is one of the reasons why you have never wanted to install a tank with a sump don’t worry as Red Sea has done all the planning for you and there is no gluing needed to assemble and seal all the plumbing.
The sump includes a filter sock holder and sock to keep large pieces of debris and detritus from clogging pumps and other pieces of equipment. The water can then flow from the filter sock into the skimmer compartment where the water will keep a steady level to aid in the best performance in your choice of skimmer or any other filtration components that you choose to include can be placed there. The water will then flow through the final bubble trap and into the final chamber where the return pump (not included) can be placed to pump water back through the Reefer tanks return plumbing.
If you have a personal preference for the skimmer you want to run, lighting system, return pump, media reactors, or any other additional hardware the Reefer aquarium system is for you. With ultra-clear rimless, beveled glass and a marine spec cabinet that follows the contour of the tank down to the floor. All of the reefer systems include a properly sized sump, all the necessary plumbing, integrated auto top off system, and reservoir.
When water starts to evaporate all Reefer systems include an integrated top off system and reservoir that can hold a few days worth of top off water to keep the water level, salinity and flow rates consistent throughout the tank.
