Marine-Spec Black Aluminum Stand, Built to Last
The powder-coated frame resists corrosion and stays square under load, even on imperfect floors. Adjustable feet hide cleanly behind paneling, so the footprint looks built-in rather than assembled.
Sump Layout That Welcomes Upgrades
Tune the skimmer chamber height for consistent foam and stable water level. The glass sump accepts ReefMat fleece rollers and REEFER DC skimmers, so scaling filtration stays straightforward as livestock grows.
-
Compatible options to consider later: ReefMat 1200, REEFER DC 900 Protein Skimmer
-
Extension sump on S-series models supports a frag zone or extra reactors when needed
Plumbing That Dials In Fast with ReefGate
Pre-cut, pre-glued plumbing simplifies assembly and reduces elbows that steal flow. The ReefGate flow valve makes micro-adjustments easy, so the full-siphon line runs quietly during day and night cycles.
ReefATO+ Automation, Monitoring, and Alerts
The bundled ReefATO+ maintains water level precisely, then watches temperature and leaks from the same hub. It pairs with ReefBeat for quick notifications and clear status checks during travel days.
-
Dual-sensor overfill protection and quick cutoff logic
-
Temperature accuracy to ±0.1°F for tighter stability
-
Titanium leak probes pause the ATO and trigger alerts immediately
Slide-Out Control Panel for Clean Cable Management
Mount power supplies, controllers, and hubs on the Slide-Out Control Panel 60. The panel glides forward for service, keeps salt spray away from electronics, and shortens maintenance sessions.

Does the system come ready to run?
It arrives with plumbing, sump, ReefATO+, and control panel; add your choice of pumps, skimmer, and lights.
Can I use a ReefMat and REEFER DC skimmer together?
Yes. The sump accommodates both, and the chamber height adjusts for consistent skimmer performance.
How quiet is the drain with ReefGate?
After fine-tuning, the full-siphon line runs quietly, and the emergency line stays dry during normal operation.

Will the cabinet handle heavy rock structures?
The marine-spec aluminum frame supports high static loads and stays square, which protects panel alignment.
