Explore Features:

Surface skimmer 

The surface skimmer enables highly effective filtration by ensuring that only water from the aquarium surface is passed to the rear filtration compartment. The surface skimmer is easily removable for periodic cleaning.

Integrated power center

The MAX-E 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. The power center is conveniently located in the cabinet and enables safe and easy control of all of the MAX-E sub-systems.

ReefLED lighting

The Red Sea MAX-E series incorporate the ReefLED 90 light, that has a light intensity and spectrum that is 100% utilized by the corals, ensuring optimal coral growth and coloration. In addition, the ReefLED 90 has a Moonlight channel to provide low levels of light for reef-safe nighttime viewing.

Rotatable rear sump screen

The rotatable screen allows easy access to the rear filtration compartment sump, while ensuring that the aquarium’s aesthetics are undisturbed.

Ultra-clear glass

The MAX-E systems have a rimless design and are made from 12 mm ultra-clear glass, which provides a superb viewing experience.

Protein skimmer

The MAX-E skimmers have a 900 lph/239 gph water flow and 250 lph/66 gph air flow, implementing Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC criteria and passing the entire water volume through the skimmers approximately 3 times per hour (with a 3 to 1 water to air ratio), which provides sufficient filtration for even the most delicate SPS corals.

Multidirectional eyeball nozzle

The filtered water returns to the display tank via a multidirectional, adjustable eyeball nozzle, ensuring there are no stagnant spots within the aquarium.

Media rack

The rear sump includes a convenient media rack for Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC™ Carbon (which is supplied with the MAX-E), as well as extra shelves for the easy addition of other chemical filter media.

Bubble trap sponge

The bubble trap sponge prevents air bubbles from returning to the aquarium.

Circulation pump

The MAX-E comes with a 2,150 lph/568 gph Sicce return pump, which implements Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC criteria and circulates the entire system water volume about 10 times an hour.

Chiller installation kit

The MAX-E has a dedicated area for a chiller pump, and comes with a convenient connection bracket for the chiller piping (chiller and pipes are not supplied with the system).

Marine-spec cabinet

The MAX-E is available with a marine-spec laminate cabinet fronted with weatherproof epoxy painted doors, convenient push openers and soft close stainless steel hinges. MAX-E cabinets are offered with black or white exteriors.

Carbon

Both MAX-E series models are supplied with 100 grams of Red Sea’s REEF-SPEC carbon, enough to maintain crystal clear water for the first 2 months.

MAX-E circulation

The MAX-E circulation system creates a continuous flow that provides the static corals with the nutrients and minerals they need for growth, while mainitaing the water surface at a turbalence level that is optimal for sufficent light penetration and efficient gas exchange.

MAX-E rear sump

Start your reef the safe & easy way with a built-in rear sump that houses complete REEF-SPEC filtration and circulation systems. If you decide to add additional equipment, the modular filtration system can easily be expanded by installing an optional Red Sea in-cabinet sump.
