The cabinet top sits at approximately 86 cm from the floor. Filled and running, the 250 weighs approximately 315 kg (695 lb) — over 200 L total volume, so check the floor structure with a builder before siting it, particularly on an upper storey, over a long unsupported span, or on anything other than a solid ground-floor slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA return pump sized to the plumbing\u003c\/strong\u003e — the sump and overflow are engineered for a mid-size DC return; check hose and bulkhead size before buying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA protein skimmer rated up to 250 L\u003c\/strong\u003e — the sump's skimmer chamber is pre-plumbed to accept one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA pair of Red Sea ReefLED fixtures or a single wide-spread unit\u003c\/strong\u003e — to properly cover a 90 cm run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Sea Coral Pro Salt or Reef Foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e — for your first fill and ongoing top-ups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA heater sized to 245 L of total system volume\u003c\/strong\u003e — against your room's typical ambient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Sea's manufacturer warranty on the Reefer G2+ tank and cabinet applies in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law, which are not affected by any manufacturer warranty term or exclusion. Register your system with Red Sea after purchase and keep your invoice as proof of purchase. As a large glass-and-cabinet system, the 250 ships on a pallet by oversize freight rather than standard parcel courier — check the freight estimate at checkout, and contact us before ordering if you need help arranging trade or elevator access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the REEFER 250 G2+ come with a return pump?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The tank, cabinet, sump and ReefATO+ top-off are included; a return pump, protein skimmer and lighting are sold separately and sized to your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy is this white 250 listed at a different price to the black 250?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePricing can vary between colour listings and stock batches; it isn't a sign of a different specification — both the black and white 250 G2+ share the same tank, cabinet, sump and ReefATO+ inclusions described on this page. Contact us if you'd like that checked before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the white cabinet mark or yellow over time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a laminated, marine-spec finish rather than a raw painted surface, so normal handling and a damp-cloth wipe-down won't mark it. Avoid abrasive cleaners and prolonged direct sun on the panel to keep the white looking fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I run the 250 as a freshwater planted tank instead of a reef?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — the tank, cabinet and sump work equally well in freshwater.
