Comments: I have 5 years of reef keeping experience and purchased the red sea max 250 over a month ago now, the Tank is awesome.It has a high quality build and was really easy to set up and easy to maintain. The tank is quiet and the filtation and lighting are great, it really is a nice looking tank. I have about 60lbs of live lock with sps hard coral's, soft coral's, mushroom coral's, button polyp's, a clam along with 4 fish and shrimp, they all love it and are doing very well. I would recommend this product to anyone. The only thing is the tank might get a little warm in hot climate's and need a chiller. The customer service is very good. If your in the market for an all in one tank this is it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

A must have for newbies! by KC

Comments: I've had my tank for only about 2 months so far and I couldn't be happier. Started out with a 45 gallon with external sump in my living room which was a huge mistake! Not only was it unsightly and loud with all the tubes coming out all over the place, but i had to learn how to become a plumber to put it all together! Not cool for a new aquarist and very scary to think that water could end up all over my living room do to my lack of plumbing skills! We almost abandoned the idea of starting a salt water aquarium altogether! Instead, we took everything back to the store and purchased a red sea max 250! It's like driving a luxury car without having to be a mechanic to design it. Just put the car in drive to enjoy and worry about the oil changes. If you want luxury this is for you! One plug, no unsightly external tubes, completely self contained with little left to do besides regular maintenance like water changes and filter media maintenance. Thanks to Red Sea we didn't lose out on all the beauty salt water has to offer! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have had this tank for 9 months now. Fantastic tank, great addition, great looking piece of furniture. Great coral growth. Only downside was tank temperature. A chiller is a requirement for this tank. I held out for 3 weeks, and then had to buy one. Otherwise, really great product! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have been reef keeping for over 25 years & naturally have encountered every easy fix claim out there. Red Sea Max has taken a ton of guess work & selection of eqipment out of the scenario & much more! I say BRAVO!They've taken something comlpicated enough to intimidate any educated inquiring novice looking to break into reef keeping & simplified the heck out of it! Again,... BRAVO!Of course the worst part of any NEAR-ALL inclusive system is replacement parts. Will the company be around when you need parts? No worries! Red Sea Max has done their home work, R&D to develope a very stable company based on quality products & yes... available parts @ reasonable prices. WELL DONE!In short,... Beginners take notice! This is a GREAT way to get started into the world of reef keeping. Stick to some elementary proceedures of frequent water changing using quality water & salt, frequent testing to help understand the cycle process of your miniature unique world & finally some patience & slow reactions to changes & newly obtained info. Nothing too fast! Consume & learn without quick reactions & you'll be fine with a system from Red Sea Max.The only downside to these systems, if any, consider adding some small power heads for higher rate of flow & circulation to help feed filter feeders, (inverts), AND clean your lamp covers often & change lamps when reccommended for optimal lighting conditions. THAT'S IT!There's NEVER been an easier system priced right! I've spent a ton less time with maintenance, more time enjoying with the entire family. Better than TV any day! Even my dogs get curious & come take a closer look. So,... Go for It! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
