Red Sea Max Complete Coral Reef Systems |
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 MAX?
MAX is the only true plug & play coral reef system; guaranteeing complete compatibility of the coral reef spec components built in to the aquarium.
Behind MAX is the reassurance that the entire system has been designed by, and is fully supported by Red Sea, a market-leader in the development of coral reef systems, and accessories.

Max allows you to focus on the beauty and diversity of the fish & corals, rather than worrying about the equipment. Whether a first time aquarist or an experienced hobbyist, MAX will allow you to achieve your dream, of owning your very own piece of thriving coral reef.
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.

Reef Filtration & Circulation
The Red Sea MAX features a complete 4-stage reef filtration system, designed to provide perfect water conditions for all reef inhabitants.
An adjustable height surface skimmer (a) takes water from where the highest concentration of waste materials is found.
The turbo air injection skimmer developed specifically for the MAX circulates the water volume through the skimmer more than 3 times per hour at an air/water ratio of 1:3 providing ideal skimming specifications for a hard coral (SPS) reef aquarium. The unique foam adjuster (b) ensures that foam can be produced in all water conditions.
Mechanical filtration removes the large organic substances while Phosphate-free active carbon acts as a large chemical sponge; absorbing dissolved organic carbons from the water. Highly porous bio-media provides a huge surface area for nitrifying bacteria.
Additional equipment such as a chiller or an external filter can easily be added with the Accessory kit (c) supplied with each unit. |
