A massive THANK YOU to all our customers for your continued support during this very difficult time, from ALL the team here at Aquatic Design Centre. Take care of yourselves and look after your families and your fish.
This morning we have had many questions from our customers concerning the new government regulations for the COVID-19 / Corona virus outbreak and how this will affect our services provided.
We would like to inform you that we are open to handle all your orders as usual and will continue to service all our clients aquariums as normally as possible.
A couple of things to note:
If you would like to discuss service access arrangements due to self-isolation or reduced staffing available.
If you would like deliveries organized with specific instructions.
If you have any concerns regarding servicing during the following few weeks
Alternatively you can contact your engineer directly.
Contingency outline:
Should the worst happen and you find yourself self-quarantining we can help you to sort out any aquarium issues and keep things running smoothly. We are working on a “whats app” face time booking system with your engineers so that you can book a time slot on a suitable day for them to help guide you through any basic tasks that your aquariums will need performed. If you do not have whats app then please make contact with us with an alternative that works for you.
If we find any engineers are unavailable due to illness we will allocate you to a senior staff member for assistance.
The services you may require are as follows
Topping up systems with water to prevent them from running dry
Changing filter wool
Water changing (in some cases) – this will become more needed depending on the length of time between actual services.
Topping up auto feeders
General systems check
Fish health
Any operational questions.
Emergencies
We will follow the news closely and follow government advice. If anything changes, we will update you via email and social media.
We would duly request that if any client has a confirmed coronavirus case within their household or place of work that we are informed so we can act accordingly. We will of course look to respond in the same manner by informing any client visited if we have any confirmed cases within our business.
Our team is taking all necessary precautions. Also all shows/events and overseas traveling are cancelled till April 19th or longer if necessary.
We thank you for your concerns and messages the last couple of days. Please stay safe and take good care of yourself and your family.

Red Sea REEFER™ Peninsula Concept
If you’re looking to add the distinctive beauty of a Peninsula-style coral reef aquarium to your home or office, you don’t need a custom-built system to do so.
Red Sea’s REEFER™ Peninsula brings color and ambiance to any living or office space at a fraction of the cost of a custom installation. Available in 125cm (49.2″) long/ 500 liter (132 gal) or 160cm (63″) long/650 liter (173 gal), the REEFER™ Peninsula offers an impressive and elegant room divider solution with all of the features of our advanced REEFER™ systems. A rimless, ultra-clear glass coral reef aquarium is formed into a perfect peninsula that gives you a fascinating view from all three sides, adding complexity and intrigue to any reefscape.
These 60cm (23.6″) high aquariums are set on stylish yet heavy-duty cabinets with epoxy painted finish on both sides. The cabinet includes a dedicated ventilated compartment for chiller and control systems and the doors may be assembled on either side of the cabinet to suit the layout of the room.
The unique design of the Peninsula with the overflow system at one end of the aquarium instead of at the center also makes it ideal for a room corner installation.https://www.youtube.com/embed/oD8sPflN5cA?version=3&autohide=1&iv_load_policy=3&rel=0&showinfo=0&theme=light&wmode=transparent
Red Sea REEFER™ Deluxe Concept
The REEFER™ Deluxe incorporates the ReefLED® lighting units with Red Sea’s custom mounting system into the REEFER reef-ready systems in a convenient single package.
At the heart of the ReefLED is a compact Led array that provides a reef-safe range of REEF-SPEC light through a single REEF-SPEC Blue (23,000 Kelvin) channel that consists of an optimum combination of ultraviolet, violet and blue LEDs and an 9,000 Kelvin white channel.
In addition, it has a separate dedicated 3W Moonlight channel to provide the low levels of light for reef-safe nighttime viewing.
The ReefLED includes a single optical-glass, hollow lens that creates a homogenous light, giving a dramatic coral coloration and a gentle shimmer throughout the aquarium.
ReefLED is controlled by Red Sea’s ReefBeat® App which provides a wide range of easy to use functions such as random clouds, acclimation for new installations and a lunar cycle for the moonlights.
The custom mounting system attaches firmly onto the rear wall of the tank and can be rotated to the upright position during reef scaping or other tank maintenance. The REEFER™ Peninsula Deluxe comes with a customized hanging system for the ReefLED® lights.
REEFER™ Deluxe is available for all models with 1, 2, 3 or 4 LED units according to model.
REEFER™ Specification
REEFER™ aquariums are constructed from thick, beveled-edge, ultra-clear glass to support their elegant and modern rimless design.
The aquarium sits on a recessed base that “floats” it above the cabinet, which seamlessly follows the contour of the glass.
The marine-spec laminated cabinet that houses the sump, (and in the larger models also includes a dedicated, vented space for chillers) is smartly finished with weatherproof, epoxy-painted doors.
REEFER™ Water Management System
Removable surface-skimming combs surround the top of the centrally located overflow box that houses the downpipe, sump return pipe and the discreet multi-directional “eyeball” return outlet nozzle.
In the event of a blockage in the regulated downpipe, an additional emergency overflow pipe provides an unrestricted free flow of aquarium water directly to the sump.
On entering the sump the water passes through micron filters and/or filter cups with your choice of media before flowing into the optional refugium and onto the skimmer chamber with an adjustable height outlet, making it suitable for all skimmers and other reactors.
In order to remove any air bubbles that may have escaped from the skimmer, the water passes through a bubble-stripping cascade on its way to the return pump chamber.
To ensure a constant water level in the pump compartment, all REEFER™ sumps include an integrated automatic freshwater top-up unit, guaranteeing constant, stable water flow throughout the complete system.
Supplied as a complete self-assembly kit, all pipework is ready without the need for any gluing.
