Product Overview

The Red Sea REEFER G3+ 500 Peninsula Aquarium and Cabinet is designed for marine aquarists who want to create an impressive reef display while retaining the freedom to choose their preferred aquarium equipment.

Unlike conventional aquariums viewed primarily from the front, the peninsula design allows the reef to be enjoyed from both long sides and the end viewing panel.

This makes it an excellent choice for open-plan living spaces, room-divider installations or standalone marine aquarium displays.

The REEFER G3+ 500 combines reinforced aquarium construction, modern filtration technology and integrated monitoring while allowing aquarists to select their preferred lighting, water circulation, protein skimming and return pump equipment.

Premium Peninsula Aquarium Design

The REEFER G3+ 500 Peninsula features a 125cm-long aquarium with an impressive three-sided viewing arrangement.

Its generous 63.5cm width allows aquarists to create natural reef rock formations, open swimming areas, coral islands and attractive aquascapes that can be viewed from multiple angles.

The ultra-clear glass showcases marine fish, coral fluorescence and natural reef colours with excellent clarity.

An elegant Euro-brace reinforces the aquarium while maintaining a clean, contemporary appearance.

The peninsula format makes this aquarium particularly suitable for positioning between living areas or creating an attractive focal point within a room.

Aquarium and Cabinet Construction

The Red Sea REEFER G3+ 500 Peninsula features 15mm ultra-clear glass construction and reinforced Euro-bracing for additional structural stability.

The aquarium is supported by a marine-specification laminated plywood cabinet with a floating-look aluminium support.

The cabinet features durable doors, quality hinges and adjustable feet, providing a practical foundation for the aquarium.

The cabinet can be assembled with access from either side, helping accommodate different room layouts and installation requirements.

Available in black or white, the cabinet is designed to complement modern interiors while providing convenient access to the filtration sump and aquarium equipment.

Advanced REEF-SPEC Filtration Sump

The REEFER G3+ 500 Peninsula includes a professional REEF-SPEC filtration sump designed for efficient filtration, maintenance access and equipment flexibility.

The sump provides approximately 106.6 litres of filtration capacity and includes mechanical filtration compartments with micron filter bags and media cups.

A removable mechanical filtration section allows the installation of a compatible Red Sea ReefMat automatic roller filter.

The sump is also refugium-ready, allowing aquarists to incorporate macroalgae filtration or additional biological filtration where required.

An adjustable-height protein skimmer chamber provides flexibility when selecting and installing a suitable protein skimmer.

The sump water level can be adjusted between approximately 21cm and 27cm to suit compatible equipment.

ReefMat-Ready Mechanical Filtration

The REEFER G3+ 500 Peninsula features a removable mechanical filtration chamber designed for straightforward integration of a compatible Red Sea ReefMat system.

The standard mechanical filtration arrangement includes micron filter bags and media cups for removing suspended particles and aquarium waste.

For aquarists wanting to reduce manual filter maintenance, the system can be upgraded with a compatible automatic fleece roller filter.

The ReefMat unit is purchased separately.

Integrated ReefControl Pro Monitoring

The Red Sea REEFER G3+ 500 Peninsula includes the ReefControl Pro controller with an automatic top-up module and integrated temperature monitoring.

The automatic top-up function replaces evaporated freshwater, helping maintain a stable aquarium water level and reducing unwanted salinity fluctuations.

The ReefControl Pro controller provides a platform for expanding aquarium monitoring through compatible Red Sea ReefSense probes, sensors and control accessories.

The controller supports up to seven compatible ReefSense probes or sensors and two 12V DC devices.

Additional monitoring and control accessories are available separately.

Precision Water Management

Red Sea's advanced water-management system is designed to provide efficient circulation between the display aquarium and filtration sump.

The high-precision ReefGate valve allows accurate adjustment of water flow through the overflow system, helping achieve smooth and quiet aquarium operation.

Dual 25mm return outlets provide flexibility for single or dual return pump installations.

The redesigned overflow system supports efficient surface water removal and reduced turbulence, helping maintain reliable aquarium operation.

Follow Red Sea's official assembly instructions carefully, including cabinet levelling, plumbing installation and water testing before introducing livestock.

The aquarium should never be moved while filled with water.

Maintenance Advice

Regular aquarium maintenance is essential to ensure the long-term performance of a marine reef system.

Inspect and clean filtration equipment as required, maintain stable salinity and temperature, and check the automatic top-up system regularly.

Keep the mechanical filtration chambers, overflow system and sump clean, and inspect pumps and plumbing periodically.
