Extra-fortified Glass and Marine-Spec Cabinets

The G2 series of REEFER aquariums are rimless and constructed from ultra-clear, beveled-edge glass with an increased glass thickness of up to 19mm. These strong glass tanks sit atop newly fortified cabinet stands made of plywood and with Marine-Spec, water-resistant lamination. Each cabinet stand follows the contours of the aquarium glass, with the larger REEFER G2 models featuring an additional “floating tank” aluminum support. Adjustable leveling feet & stainless steel hinges ensure a lasting and durable stand for your dream aquarium.

Improved Water Management & Plumbing

Up top, the G2 REEFER systems employ a large overflow box with dual side-facing return pumps for optimal water circulation and increased surface skimming. The overflow box includes a lid which hides plumbing components, as well as easily-removable weir combs for quick cleaning and improved surface skimming. Water then exits from the overflow box and travels down an enlarged and rectangular inlet to the downflow pipe, allowing for reduced turbulence & quieter operation. All G2 models also include a newly improved high precision valve on the downflow pipe, allowing for simple regulation to further tune your flow.

Reef-Ready Sump – Now ReefMat Compatible

As with the previous generation of REEFER, the G2 sump includes a mechanical filtration compartment complete with micron filter sock(s) and filter cup(s) to keep large pieces of debris and detritus from clogging pumps and other pieces of equipment. New to the G2, this chamber can be alternatively used to house a ReefMat 500 or 1200-- no modifications required! Water flows from the filtration chamber into the adjustable-height skimmer compartment, where the water will be kept at a steady level to aid in the best performance for your choice of skimmer, or any other filtration components that you choose to include. The water will then flow through the final bubble trap and into a chamber where the return pump (not included) can be placed to pump water back through the Reefer tank's return plumbing.

Additional features of the Reef-Ready sump system include an optional refugium compartment for growing chaeto or other macroalgae, as well as an RO 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.

3 2 Extended Warranty Plans

All REEFER aquariums have included a standard 2-year warranty. With the new G2 models, you can now purchase an additional 1-2 year warranty plan when registering your new system online. That’s a total of 5 years of worry-free protection!
