Many hobbyists are familiar with Red Sea MAX aquariums.  MAX aquariums are “plug & play” reef aquarium systems, complete with tank, stand, canopy, lighting, protein skimming, chemical and mechanical filtration, and circulation.  The current MAX line consists of two sizes: a 34 gallon (130L) and a 66 gallon (250L).

The New MAX S-Series

---

Red Sea has now announced the addition of three more aquariums to their MAX lines.  The new S-Series Aquariums will consist of three larger sizes: S400 (400 liters/100 gallons), S500 (500 liters/130 gallons), and S650 (650 liters/170 gallons).

The S-Series differ in several significant ways from their smaller siblings:

• All S-Series MAX aquariums now employ sumps (including all the necessary overflow, plumbing, and return pump).  The current, smaller MAX aquariums have behind-the-tank compartments.
• Each system is skimmed by a Red Sea C-Skim protein skimmer.
• All S-Series MAX aquariums are illuminated by 10 x T5 (5 x 10,000K + 5 x actinic) + LED moonlights.
• The S-Series will be available in six different finishes/trims.
• Read Red Sea’s official brochure for the full run-down on the S-Series MAX Aquariums.
