Upgrade Your Standard REEFER Skimmer to a Smart DC Model
If you have a standard REEFER Skimmer, you can turn it into a smart REEFER DC Skimmer with this upgrade kit.
The upgrade kit includes a new skimmer lid with self-levelling sensor and a new DC pump. Both components must be connected to a Red Sea ReefRun Dual controller, which is sold separately.
The smart REEFER DC Skimmer features patent-pending self-leveling technology that prevents over-skimming and stops full cups from spilling over while continuing to aerate the water.
Smart skimmers connect to your smartphone via the Red Sea ReefBeat App, allowing access to features such as timed use, one-button pause, cup full alert, and other fine-tuning options.

Installed the upgrade kit on my existing REEFER skimmer and it works perfectly. The self-leveling feature prevents overflow and keeps the cup from spilling. I can now pause it with one tap through the app. Much more reliable than the original model.

The kit fits well and the new pump runs smoothly. I noticed less water waste and the cup doesn’t overflow even when the tank is full. App control is easy to use and helpful for daily maintenance.
