Innovative Designs
Going from the top of the Reefer system 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 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.
Filtration
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.
Integrated Top Off
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.

Product Questions
The Red Sea Reefer systems provide the tank, cabinet, sump, and necessary plumbing (including filter sock holder), but they leave the options on equipment choices to you. Lights, return pump, heater, skimmer, powerheads, etc, will need to be selected and purchased separately. They now also have the Deluxe version which does include the AI Hydra 26 lights and Red Sea mounting system if you would like a high end LED option included.
Have a great day!
The internal dimensions of the REEFER 350 chiller area are as follows, 15.5" L x 18" W x 29.75" T.
Thanks for the question and if you have any others just let us know.
I am thinking of using a different sump
The Inside dimensions of the stand are 16.5" x 42". Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The BRS filter socks will fit in a 4" diameter hole. They do not work with the Reefer tanks due to the ATO compartment. You will need to currently purchase the socks from Red Sea directly. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
