The Red Sea ReefGate is a high-precision gate valve engineered specifically for reef aquariums, delivering a silent, stable downflow and effortless fine-tuning of your overflow system. Designed to maintain a constant water level in your overflow box, the ReefGate allows you to perfectly balance the water flowing down with the water being pumped back up.

 

Unlike standard gate valves, the ReefGate is built entirely from reef-safe plastic components, eliminating concerns about corrosion in saltwater environments. Its ergonomic handwheel provides ultra-fine control, with each full rotation adjusting the valve opening by just 1mm. That level of incremental precision makes dialing in your system simple, repeatable, and incredibly stable.

 

Retrofitting Options

 

The ReefGate comes standard on all REEFER G3 systems and is also available as a retrofit kit for REEFER G2 aquariums. It can additionally be adapted to most aquariums using standard 40mm (1¼”) or 32mm (1”) plumbing.
