Description
Description
The Red Sea Reefer-S G3 range is engineered for advanced reef systems where structural strength, water volume, and equipment capacity are critical. Designed for demanding coral systems and higher bioloads, Reefer-S builds on the Reefer platform with major construction upgrades for long-term rigidity at larger sizes.
Reefer-S G3 systems feature significantly thicker ultra-clear glass, reinforced euro bracing, and additional bottom bracing to provide exceptional stability—ideal for heavy aquascapes, high-energy circulation, and dense coral growth.
The larger sump layout and professional plumbing architecture create flexibility for skimmers, reactors, refugiums and automation. Combined with Red Sea’s fine-control gate valve plumbing, Reefer-S delivers a future-proof foundation for serious mixed reefs and SPS-dominant builds.
If you’re planning a high-performance reef with long-term growth in mind, Reefer-S G3 is designed to support it.

Our Quarantine Procedures
Our Quarantine Procedures
We take livestock seriously. That's why we don't sell anything we wouldn't be comfortable putting in our own tank.
As we are direct from source, we import and sell direct to the public. This means you can buy with confidence knowing EMA prides itself on excellent handling and conditioning protocols.
Fish
All our fish held in a quarantine system for a minimum of 3 weeks. During this time, regular water changes are performed, and twice daily (or sometimes more) feedings are performed.
Copper is dosed and checked twice a day for ich and velvet.
During this treatment fish are given formalin baths for brooklynella and a minimum of 3 praziquantel doses is performed for flukes.
Coral
Our coral is quarantined for a minimum of 3 weeks, just like fish. During this time, regular water changes are performed, water testing done, and once a month a Fauna Marin ICP Total is performed.
Corals are inspected for pests/general health and are provided with a pest dip once a week for at least 3 weeks.
If we see signs of pests, the quarantine period is extended and/or additional dips are performed
If coral is bleached/unhealthy, it will remain in quarantine until healthy enough to sell.
Payment & Security
We offer a number of different payment methods, including Credit Card, Afterpay, Q Card, Pay at Collection, Bank Transfer and POLi.
Credit card payments are processed securely using the highest possible security protocols.
