The MAX 250 has been designed as a highly specified complete 250 litre coral reef aquarium system. Each component has been specifically designed to work as part of the total system, guaranteeing compatibility and performance suited to maintaining even the most delicate stony (sps) corals.
Featuring a host of high performance features, it is possible to keep even the most demanding sps coral species, and provides a complete coral reef aquarium solution. Full Coral Reef Spec lighting, filtration & circulation are all housed in a beautiful aquarium, which also includes the MAX control system providing total control and a one pug solution. The Red Sea MAX 250 gives aquarists an opportunity to achieve the dream of owning a complete coral reef in their own home.

The Red Sea MAX 250 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.
