Red Sea pushed out additional information on the Reefer XL 200 and 300 series of all in one aquarium kits. The XL 200 and 300 are not only larger in size, but they also feature a laminated, plywood cabinet with adjustable feet. The XL 200 and XL 300 are two of the most requested sizes among hobbyists and Red Sea has finally met demand with supply. Shown at the China International Pet Show for the first time in either 53 gallon (XL200) or 80 gallon (XL300) both have just about the same height at either 21 inches or 22 inches respectively but the length is the real difference maker here with 12 inches between the XL200 (24″) and the XL300 (36″). The delta can really add a difference to your surroundings and it is nice to see Red Sea offering these new flavors.
In the United States, we expect to see these in the first quarter while Europe and the rest of the world will see these in early January 2020. We have our eye on the XL 300 – a great total water volume to get started in keeping saltwater tanks. Of course, their nano tank coming in at a total of 20 gallons -which we featured on our Youtube Channel is perfect for anyone just starting out.
