The MAX Concept

Max is the only true plug & play complete coral reef aquarium system available.
The Red Sea MAX has been designed to allow you to focus on the beauty and diversity of your own piece of coral reef, rather than worrying about component selection, suitability and compatibility.

What is a Coral Reef Aquarium?

A true coral reef aquarium will be capable of supporting a thriving community of corals, anemones and other invertebrates, as well as fish, shrimps, starfishes etc.

Corals and other invertebrates have specific requirements in terms of water conditions, and are far less tolerant of incorrect levels and changes in parameters than commonly kept marine fish.

Lighting plays a key part in the success of a coral reef aquarium, as corals require the right balance and intensity of lighting in order to live and grow.

Additionally, the removal of dissolved organic compounds becomes essential, as does an appropriate rate of water circulation, and overall water clarity.
If you are considering a coral reef aquarium, you should ensure it achieves three basic criteria, in order for your corals and other inhabitants to thrive. Remember, it is often difficult to upgrade an aquarium, so consider this factor also when making your choice:
(a) Coral Reef Spec Lighting, (b) Coral Reef Spec Filtration, (c) Coral Reef Spec Circulation
Consider also issues such as compatibility of equipment, selection of the right substrate, salt, test kits & supplements. There are a myriad of options and making the right selection can be confusing, as can ensuring everything works together in harmony.

Fortunately there is now a unique solution- The Red Sea MAX

Coral Reef Spec components-
High performance & peace of mind

		Coral Reef Spec Lighting Lighting of 1w/litre or 4w/gal is required for corals to thrive. MAX lighting provides the intensity and performance required by even the most demanding coral species. Blue LED moonlights provide night viewing. All controlled by an integrated timer.
		Coral Reef Spec Filtration Protein skimming is essential for providing optimum water quality. Water and air flow levels and ratio are critical to the efficiency of a skimmer MAX contains a full filtration system including a professional Turbo Skimmer, delivering Coral Reef Spec performance of 3x/hr turnover, and a 3:1 water to air ratio.
		Coral Reef Spec Circulation High water flow increases oxygenation, reduces algae, and washes detritus from corals, preventing disease. Max delivers the 10-15x water turnover per required for a true coral reef spec aquarium.
		MAX Control Max includes a unique central control system, with each component being controlled via the MAX power centre. No unsightly equipment. Max gives total control, and all via one plug.
	In order to guarantee the stable temperature required by most reef inhabitants Red Sea recommends the installation of a chiller as a safeguard against sudden increases in temperature.
