Admin page System Overview has red bar for a nearing full volume?

It's red because it's too full. Generally Netgear begins warning about capacity planning when the volume reaches 70% full - yours is about 90%.
It looks like you haven't put any shares on your second disk - so begin by creating a share on it, and moving some files over from the main volume.
Another path (perhaps better) is to delete the second volume, and replace the second disk with a larger one - e.g. another 6 TB one. Then create some shares on it, and move about half your files over to it.
