The Red Sea ReefSense Leak Detector is a critical, digital safety accessory designed to provide instant warning and, more importantly, automated response to water leaks in and around your marine aquarium system. It is a vital component for ensuring peace of mind and minimizing the potential for damage from accidental spills or equipment failures.

Technical Features

  • Digital Accuracy & Reliability: Like all ReefSense products, the detector operates on a digital signal, providing an instant, clear detection of water presence. It is highly reliable and immune to the false alarms or failures that can plague simpler contact sensors.
  • Highly Sensitive Probes: The detector uses integrated metal pins/probes that detect the presence of water across the connection points.
  • Compact & Low-Profile: Designed to be easily placed in critical areas that are prone to leaks, such as under the sump, behind the aquarium stand, or near plumbing connections.
  • Easy Placement: The unit is small and typically placed on the floor or surface where a leak would first collect.

Ecosystem Integration and Automated Safety

The ReefSense Leak Detector integrates seamlessly into the ReefControl system and is managed through the ReefBeat mobile app, enabling its powerful safety features:

  • Instant Mobile Alerts: When the detector senses water, it immediately sends a critical, audible notification to your mobile device via the ReefBeat app, alerting you to the precise location of the leak.
  • Automated Power Shutoff (Critical Safety Protocol): This is the Leak Detector's most important function. When connected to a ReefControl Lite or ReefControl Pro controller (and integrated with a ReefControl Power unit), it can be set up to trigger immediate emergency protocols:
    • Cut Power to Pumps: Automatically shut off all critical AC-powered equipment (like return pumps, wavemakers, or skimmers) to stop the flow of water out of the tank and sump, drastically minimizing the volume of water spilled.
    • Disable ATO: Prevent the Automatic Top-Off (ATO) system from adding fresh water to the spill area.
  • Continuous Monitoring: The ReefBeat app confirms the detector is always connected and functional, ensuring it is ready when you need it.
The ReefSense Leak Detector is an essential and intelligent safety device that provides not just an alarm, but a rapid, automated defense against water damage, making it a valuable investment for protecting your home and your high-value aquarium.

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
