With 947 L (250.2 US gal) of total system water and complete REEF-SPEC infrastructure, this is the platform for a large reef aquarium — and the only model in the range that ships with a two-part sump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the numbers, watch how the ReefATO+ keeps a REEFER system topped off — filmed right here at the store:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:340px;margin:20px auto;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:177.78%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WRicr45EG2k\" title=\"Red Sea ReefATO+ explained by ReefSolution\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOfficial Peninsula S-950 G3 numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal system water volume: 947 L (250.2 US gal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay tank water volume: 757 L (200.0 US gal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-cabinet sump water volume: 189.6 L (50.1 US gal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay tank length: 200 cm (78.7\") — width: 68 cm (26.8\") — tank height: 65 cm (25.6\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal system height: 165 cm (65.0\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19 mm (0.75\") ultra-clear glass on all four sides and the bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRim type: jet-black Euro-brace at the top, plus a bottom brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe lighting configuration: 4 x ReefLED G2 170 (optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide-out control panel 60 included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea's official presentation of the Peninsula G3 line:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tuOnvYF4JeY\" title=\"The REEFER Peninsula G3 line presented by Red Sea\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWeight, floor load and clearances\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Sea series manual publishes the numbers almost nobody else does. Fully loaded, the complete system weighs 1460 kg (3219 lb): the flooring directly below the aquarium must be rated for that load. The glass tank alone weighs 251 kg (553 lb) — that is a team lift, not a two-person job. The top of the cabinet sits 100 cm (40\") from the floor. Red Sea recommends 10 cm (4\") of clearance behind the system and 60 cm (24\") between one side and any adjacent wall or furniture, for cable access and reaching the rear of the tank. And one absolute rule: a REEFER is never moved with water in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe split sump — exclusive to the S-950\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is what sets the S-950 apart from every other Peninsula: Red Sea ships it with a unique two-part sump system. The main sump is refugium-ready, with a skimmer chamber you can set at different heights, plus micron filter bags and media cups. The extension sump is yours to define: a frag tank, an oversized refugium, or an extra stage of filtration. Unhook it from the main sump entirely and it becomes an R\/O reservoir or a water-change station. On a 947 L (250.2 US gal) system, that flexibility changes how you build your filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEuro-brace construction and 19 mm glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S-950 carries a jet-black Euro-brace framing the top of the tank, completed by a bottom brace — a construction shared only by the Peninsula S-700 and S-950 in this range. The low-iron ultra-clear glass is 19 mm (0.75\") thick on every pane. Across a 200 cm (78.7\") span viewed from both sides, that combination is what holds the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAluminum cabinet and slide-out control panel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe marine-spec S-series cabinet is built on a robust aluminum super structure with replaceable exterior panels and concealed adjustable feet that let you level the system precisely on any floor. The included slide-out control panel 60 makes it simple to mount and reach your controllers and other gear — the cabinet interior is black. A practical Peninsula detail: the cabinet doors can be installed on the left or right side, whichever gives you the best access to your sump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlumbing: ReefGate, silent downflow and side returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike every G3, the S-950 gets the ReefGate, a high-precision valve on the drain line that lets you dial in the flow until the plumbing runs near silent. The G3's optimized piping keeps flow strong across the entire 200 cm (78.7\") length, and the two side-mounted return nozzles are curved to spread the water evenly from end to end. The surface skimmer feeds the downflow continuously, and the sump accepts a ReefMat without modification thanks to its removable mechanical filtration compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is included — and what is not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded: the tank, the aluminum-structure cabinet, the main sump and its extension sump, complete plumbing with the ReefGate, the ReefATO+ kit (top-off control, temperature monitoring and leak detection) and the slide-out control panel 60. Not included — like every REEFER, you pick your own gear: the return pump (Red Sea recommends the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/reefrun-g2-dc-pump\"\u003eReefRun G2 12000\u003c\/a\u003e, 5000-12000 lph \/ 1300-3200 gph), the lighting (the Deluxe configuration calls for 4 x \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/reefled-g2-eclairage-led\"\u003eReefLED G2 170\u003c\/a\u003e), circulation (Red Sea's published MAX configuration uses 2 x \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/red-sea-reefwave%C2%AE-silent-smart-powerful-45\"\u003eReefWave 45\u003c\/a\u003e), the protein skimmer (\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/red-sea-900dc-reefer-skimmer\"\u003eRSK DC 900\u003c\/a\u003e in the MAX configuration) and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/red-sea-reefmat-fleece-roller-1200\"\u003eReefMat 1200\u003c\/a\u003e for automatic mechanical filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo things nobody plans for before delivery day\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top-off reservoir is not included: Red Sea states it plainly in the series manual — the ReefATO+ needs a reservoir, and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/red-sea-reefcan\"\u003eReefCan\u003c\/a\u003e is built for exactly that.

Register your system with Red Sea within 90 days of purchase and receive 2 more years — 5 years total, at no extra cost. Canada is among the countries eligible for the extended warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy from ReefSolution\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquarium ReefSolution is an authorized Red Sea dealer in Canada: full manufacturer warranty, pricing in line with the Canadian market, and real after-sale support. When you buy a REEFER from us, that's where we come in: we support you in building the best system for your expectations and your budget — we tell you what to buy, and what not to buy — and we walk you through starting up a system of this scale instead of leaving you alone with the crates. We ship anywhere in Canada at a flat 100 $ rate. Freight moves LTL: the truck drops the crate outside, and that is all — delivery does not include carrying the aquarium inside or setting it up, so have your labour on site that day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Peninsula S-950 and the Peninsula S-700?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize and the sump. The S-950 is 200 cm (78.7\") long with 947 L (250.2 US gal) total; the S-700 is 151 cm (59.4\") with 705 L (186.2 US gal). Both share 19 mm glass, the Euro-brace with bottom brace, the aluminum structure and the control panel 60 — but only the S-950 ships with the two-part split sump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the return pump and protein skimmer included with the S-950?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Like every REEFER, the S-950 comes ready for the equipment of your choice: the ReefATO+ and the slide-out control panel 60 are included, but the return pump (Red Sea recommends the ReefRun G2 12000), lighting, circulation and skimmer are chosen separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the extension sump on the S-950 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea designs it for four uses: a frag tank, an oversized refugium, an extra stage of filtration, or — once unhooked from the main sump — an R\/O reservoir or a water-change station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight does the floor need to support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea publishes a total loaded weight of 1460 kg (3219 lb) for the PS-950 G3. The flooring directly below the system must be rated for that load, and the system must never be moved with water in it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Sea Reefer","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":42824873902251,"sku":"RSR45239","price":11999.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":42824873935019,"sku":"RSR45238","price":11999.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/7108\/1899\/files\/product-20250720-575b8e941bf074c50da80d21221c9d30.png?v=1785115531","url":"https:\/\/reefsolution.com\/en\/products\/red-sea-reefer-peninsula-s-950-g3","provider":"Aquarium ReefSolution inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
