SiREEFER 425 G3 Aquarium System for Modern Reefkeepers
The REEFER 425 G3 delivers a clean, modern approach to reefkeeping with a display that balances clarity, stability, and layout flexibility. Built by Red Sea Aquariums and refined through years of engineering, this model offers a solid foundation for long-term reef systems. As part of the REEFER series, it gives hobbyists the freedom to pair their preferred lighting, filtration, and controllers while still enjoying a thoughtfully designed, plug-and-play-ready framework within the larger Aquariums category.
Ultra-Clear Display With a Minimalist Overflow
The REEFER 425 G3 uses low-iron, beveled-edge glass to keep colors accurate and viewing distortion minimal. The reinforced eurobracing adds support without taking away from the open-top look, and the slim overflow box keeps plumbing discreet. The footprint offers enough depth for creative aquascaping, whether you prefer a mixed reef, SPS-dominant layout, or a more relaxed, soft coral build.
Marine-Spec Cabinet Built for Everyday Use
The cabinet is constructed from marine-spec laminated plywood with moisture-resistant finishes and corrosion-resistant hardware. Leveling feet help you dial in a stable base, while the clean lines and modern profile make the system look intentional in any living space. Available in both black and white, the stand lets you match your existing décor while still meeting the demands of a saltwater environment.

Sump Layout Ready for ReefMat and REEFER DC Skimmers
Beneath the display, the glass sump is laid out for straightforward access and upgrade flexibility. Its design makes it easy to integrate a variety of filtration options, including fleece rollers, protein skimmers, media reactors, or refugium sections.
Popular Red Sea pairings include:
-
ReefMat 500 fleece roller filter
The open layout makes it simple to adjust equipment as your reef matures or your filtration strategy evolves.
Plug-and-Play Plumbing With ReefGate Flow Control
Every REEFER G3 system ships with pre-assembled plumbing, so you don’t have to cut or glue pipes. The updated G3 layout reduces unnecessary turns to help maintain strong flow from your return pump. The ReefGate flow valve allows you to fine-tune your drain for quieter operation, helping you keep the system running smoothly with minimal trial and error.
ReefATO+ Included for Top-Off, Temperature, and Leak Monitoring
Each REEFER 425 G3 includes the ReefATO+, combining several key safeguards into one compact package:
-
Automatic top-off control with a backup sensor positioned above the primary level
-
Temperature monitoring with tight accuracy to keep heater performance in check
-
Leak detection using saltwater-safe titanium probes for added peace of mind
-
Integration with the ReefBeat app for notifications and status checks
This combination helps stabilize salinity, provides basic thermal oversight, and adds an extra layer of safety around your stand and sump area.
