Red Sea Reefer 170 - Pros and Cons

The Red Sea Reefer 170 aquarium kit is a 34 gallon rimless and ultra clear glass aquarium with a coral reef system and comprehensive water management system. The aquarium also features a professional sump with automatic top-up, silent down-flow system, and a professional filter system. This kit is ideal for beginners, but advanced hobbyists can upgrade to the larger version for more advanced features. This coral reef system is designed to accommodate a variety of exotic tropical fish and coral species.

The Red Sea Reefer 170 has many features that can make it a great aquarium for beginners and advanced hobbyists alike. The tank is made of durable, UV-C-coated acrylic, and comes with an overflow box. The design is very impressive, and the system comes with a one-year warranty, which is quite generous for a DIY project. However, if you have serious plans to keep exotic fish, it's best to buy the smaller one and save money on a return pump.

The Red Sea REEFER 170 has some shortcomings, such as a lack of a cover over the tank. In addition to being inconvenient, curious fish could easily jump out of the tank if they don't feel secure. Thankfully, Red Sea offers a customizable aquarium net cover, which looks great on any set-up. If you want a more attractive look, you can even add an acrylic lid to the tank. The overflow system is also quiet. The design of the REEFER 170 is impressive and will last for years.
