The new Red Sea Max S-500 is the latest addition to the popular Red Sea Max range of complete marine aquarium kits. The Max S-500 holds 135 gallons of water, making it one of the largest off-the-shelf marine aquarium kits on the market today. The total size is 51x28x66.

The new MAX S series makes reef-keeping easier than ever before. The MAX S series brings together all of the systems and components required to support a thriving coral reef aquarium with even the most delicate corals, while maintaining an overall elegant and modern look.

The Red Sea Max S series are defined by their open top, super clear glass aquarium and in-cabinet sump.

Full Coral Reef Spec lighting, filtration and circulation, and a centralised control panel and an integrated freshwater top-up system are all housed in a beautiful aquarium and cabinet.

 All of the external color trim and cabinet panels (Max “Skin”) are available in a variety of colors and finishes and are replaceable at any time.

The aquarium
The aquarium itself is constructed from 12mm optically clear, (low iron) glass with a surface skimmer along the entire rear wall. It includes a discrete rear chamber housing powerful circulation pumps and flow controlled down pipe to the in-cabinet sump. The positioning of the circulation pumps guarantees complete water circulation throughout the entire aquarium.

Lighting
The unique S-series slide and swivel lighting system consists of three individually switched lighting units, total wattage 540w. The identical front and rear 4 x T5 units are hinged to the lighting chassis that slides across the top of the aquarium providing total access for all maintenance and reefscaping tasks.

The centre unit has an additional 2 x T5 lights and 12 LED moonlights. Alternative configurations for the centre unit will become available.

A dual timer lighting controller is included as part of the complete system controller in the cabinet.

Filtration
The complete reef filtration system starts with the surface skimmer that feeds the water via a flow regulated down pipe to the in-cabinet sump. The filtered water is returned to the aquarium by a main system pump that also supplies water to the protein skimmer, chiller and other optional reactors.

Connection between the aquarium and sump is via standard union connectors so no gluing is required.

The system is supplied with the main system pump, C-Skim 1800 protein skimmer, mechanical and carbon filtration media and all piping including preparation to connect a chiller and auxiliary reactors.

Cabinet
The aquarium is supported by a marine spec anodized aluminum profile frame and adjustable feet to ensure perfect alignment in all locations. The painted MDF panels and doors are attached to the frame and since they are not load-bearing they can be replaced at any time allowing renovation or a complete color change on a functioning aquarium. Red Sea says that this feature, combined with the replaceable trim on the light and aquarium will add a significant resale value to the MAX S-series.

Integrated power center
The Max S-series continues the one-plug Max concept and features a power control center with easy access to 10 individually switched power sockets for all pumps, heaters, skimmer, reactors etc in addition to the lighting controller module.

Available colors:

Black, Anthracite, Pearl, Ultra Marine-metalic, Merlot-metalic, Silver-metalic. Metalic colors will be an additional $250.
