Red Sea REEFER MAX S-850 G3 Aquarium System (180 Gal)
The Red Sea REEFER MAX S-850 G3 is a complete, ready-to-run reef aquarium system built around a large, deep rimless ultra-clear glass display, a marine-spec cabinet, and Red Sea's full suite of G3 hardware, all managed from the ReefBeat app. The S-series pairs a 70 inch length with serious front-to-back depth (26.8 inches) and height, giving you room to build dramatic reef structures and grow SPS colonies. With a 179.6 gallon display and a 224.5 gallon total volume, every pump, skimmer, and roller stays hidden below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really plug-and-play?
Yes. The S-850 G3 ships with the pump, skimmer, powerheads, filter roller, ATO, and lighting matched to the system. You assemble the cabinet and tank, connect the pre-glued plumbing, add rock, salt, and water, and configure everything through the ReefBeat app.
What makes the S-series different?
The S in REEFER S-850 means a deeper, taller aquarium. At 26.8 inches front to back and 25.6 inches tall it offers far more aquascaping depth than a standard REEFER of similar length, ideal for building dramatic reef structures and growing SPS colonies. It runs a full MAX hardware suite scaled to the volume: 3x ReefLED G2 170, REEFER DC 900 skimmer, 2x ReefWave 45, ReefRun 12000, and ReefMat 1200.
