Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a complete system?
Yes. It includes the tank, cabinet, sump, plumbing, ReefLED lighting, DC skimmer, ReefRun return pump, ReefWave pumps, ReefMat filter roller, and ReefControl Pro with ATO and a pH/Temp probe. Add salt, sand, rock and livestock and set everything up in the ReefBeat app.
How is it different from the Reef-Frame 500?
It is the same aquarium, cabinet and sump. The Reef-Frame 500 is the bare version: lighting, skimmer, pumps, ReefMat, controller and ATO are not included.
How is it different from the REEFER MAX 425 G3+?
Both are complete, app-controlled Red Sea systems with eurobraced glass, ReefGate plumbing, and the ReefControl Pro controller with ATO and a ReefSense pH/Temp probe. The REEFER MAX G3+ comes in Black or White, while the Reef-Frame MAX adds an Oak finish. The equipment package varies by model, so compare the What's Included lists for the sizes you are considering.

Every Reef-Frame includes a 3-year warranty, plus 2 more years when you register your system with Red Sea within 90 days of purchase.
