The MAX E-Series sumps contain multistage filtration consisting of a REEF-SPEC protein skimmer, activated carbon and mechanical filter materials. The sump has dedicated space available for additional chemical filter media as well as the addition of a chiller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAX E-Series Protein Skimmer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe heart of the filtration system is the protein skimmer. The MSK 900 Skimmer implements Red Sea's REEF-SPEC criteria for SPS corals, passing the entire volume of the aquarium water through the skimmer at least 3 times per hour and with a 3 to 1 water to air ratio. The design of MAX E skimmers is not affected by the regular fluctuation in the water level of the rear sump due to evaporation and has an adjustable outlet gate to maintain the optimal skimmate consistency, which will vary according to actual water conditions. The new skimmer pump and impellor run cooler and quieter than before and the built in silencer on the air intake does a great job of eliminating skimmer noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAX E-Series Media Rack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rear sump includes a convenient media rack for Red Sea’s new highly adsorbent phosphate-free REEF-SPEC Carbon, which is supplied with the MAX E system, and has extra shelves for the easy addition of other chemical filter media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChiller Ready Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Red Sea MAX E-Series sump has a dedicated place for the addition of a chiller pump as well as a convenient connection bracket for the chiller piping (Chiller and pipes are not supplied with the system).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Power Center\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe MAX E-Series incorporates the one-plug MAX concept and features a power center with easy access to 7 individually switched power sockets for all system electrical sub-components.

result of Red Sea's years of research into the sustainable growth of all corals, including the most delicate SPS corals, in an artificial reef environment. This knowledge, gained over 25 years, forms the basis for the specification of all Red Sea MAX aquarium systems designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRed Sea REEF-SPEC General Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREEF-SPEC Lighting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLight is the primary energy source in all coral reef ecosystems, as it is utilized by photosynthetic organisms that provide up to 85% of the nutrition for most corals. The important parameters for light are the intensity and the spectrum or more specifically the PAR (photosynthetic active radiation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ReefLED lights are guaranteed to be reef-safe and REEF-SPEC® and are very easy to set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in wi-fi connects them directly to the internet, enabling you to control them from your smartphone using Red Sea’s ReefBeat® smart aquarium app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAt the heart of the unit is a single, compact LED array that includes a multi-wavelength, 23,000 Kelvin “REEF-SPEC Blue” channel (a proprietary blend of blue, violet and ultraviolet LEDs) which, together with an 8,000K White channel, provides a reef-safe range of color temperatures that enable all corals to flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, a separate dedicated 3W moonlight channel provides low levels of light for reef-safe night-time viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReefLED also includes an optical-glass, hollow lens that ensures a homogenous light spectrum with ideal PAR values throughout the aquarium, without hotspots or areas with insufficient light for coral growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReefLED is controlled by Red Sea’s ReefBeat app which provides a number of preset lighting programs you can choose from as well as additional features including sunrise\/sunset effects, lunar cycle moon light, random clouds and even an acclimation program for new installations. ReefBeat also provides best-practice guidelines during setup as well as useful notifications to your smartphone, for example, in the event of a power outage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAX E-170 reef aquarium system uses a single 90W 26HD LED unit while the MAX E-260 reef aquarium system has 2 units that are seamlessly paired together by the Wi-Fi controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREEF-SPEC Filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKeeping the reef’s delicate creatures in a closed system requires special attention to water quality, by maintaining parameters within the narrow range that supports life. Effective filtration systems are made up of a number of elements, each performing complimentary tasks.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Red Sea Max filtration is the protein skimmer, which removes the vast majority of the wastes produced by the aquarium inhabitants, as well as thoroughly oxygenating the water. Reef-Spec skimmers supplied within the Max will turn the aquarium water volume 3 times per hour and have a water:air ratio of 3:1.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis skimmer specification sets Max filtration apart from other systems, and is necessary in order to provide the water quality required by delicate SPS corals.\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREEF-SPEC Circulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSufficient water movement is crucial for the well being of static coral reef species and helps maintain proper water quality parameters. Water flow provides the corals with the nutrients and minerals (e.g. calcium) necessary for growth as well as flushing away mucus and preventing stagnant areas where decomposing organic matter would otherwise accumulate.\n \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurbulence of the water surface is necessary to prevent the accumulation of a bio-film that reduces light penetration and efficient gas exchange.\n \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost corals suitable for reef aquariums come from shallow water with calm to moderate currents. A turnover of the total water volume of 10-15 times per hour is ideal, and every Max is supplied with the necessary pumps included, all housed discreetly within the design ensuring the beauty of the aquarium is not compromised.\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Red Sea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSince its inception over 25 years ago, Red Sea's vision has been to create a world in which marine and reef aquariums are the aquariums of choice for all hobbyists.

This ongoing, original research carried out by Red Sea's dedicated team of biologists, chemists and engineers, brings great benefits to hobbyists worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea's unique research into the biochemistry of corals and their relationship with the surrounding seawater resulted in the development of the Reef and Marine Care Programs.
