Red Sea MAX 130D

Includes: Tank, Totem Cabinet & Starter Kit

The Red Sea MAX 130D has been developed following the experience and customer feedback gained since the launch of the original Max 130.

Designed with performance and ease of use in mind, the Max 130D contains a number of upgrades and enhanced features designed to make reef-keeping even easier than ever before.

The Max 130D combines all the technology necessary to grow and maintain a healthy reef, and gives aquarists an opportunity to focus on the joy and beauty of the hobby rather than on component selection and installation.

Enhanced features of the Red Sea MAX 130D include:

• Increased performance protein skimmer
• New Surface skimmer overflow box
• Full 3 stage hood opening
• Higher PAR Lighting
• Deeper trim
• Filter water level indicator
• Cooling fan supplied as standard
• Accessory Kit

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.

Starter Kit includes the following:

Reef Base (10kg/22lb)
The ideal substrate for all saltwater fish and invertebrate tanks, Reef Base consists of naturally occurring reef sand spheres mixed with aragonite coral chips, and comes prewashed and impurity-free. The spheres, highly porous calcareous shells of simple protozoa (foraminefers), provide a large surface area for bacteria colonization and serve as an excellent media for both aerobic (nitrifying) and anaerobic (denitrifying) biological filtration. While the high buffering capacity of natural aragonite, the most dissolvable form of calcium carbonate, helps to maintain natural, stable levels of pH in the aquarium.

Coral Pro Salt (7kg/210liters, 15.4lb/55gal)
An innovative new salt formula designed to meet the needs of today’s advanced hobbyist, Coral Pro Salt contains the same natural minerals as those used in Red Sea Salt but is especially formulated for use with "mineral-free" reverse osmosis (RO) or soft tap water. Coral Pro contains elevated levels of calcium and buffer capacity to provide extended availability of these elements, essential for vibrant coral growth, without the need for supplementation.

• chemically balanced formula to support corals and other delicate marine life
• natural concentration of major, minor and trace elements
• reaches a stable, natural pH shortly after mixing
• free of nitrates and phosphates
• produced by a small batch process to ensure homogeneity and consistency of salt mixture

Hydrometer with built-in thermometer
Measuring the specific gravity, or degree of salinity, in your aquarium water is a basic and important task you will need to carry out on a regular basis in order to ensure the well-being of your livestock. Red Sea’s hydrometer provides an accurate measurement of specific gravity, while the built-in digital thermometer ensures that the water being tested is at correct temperature. The patented design enables device to be permanently installed inside aquarium for continuous, real-time reading of salinity, in addition to regular periodic reading, while the bubble-proof casing allows for easy reading of results.

NitroBac bio starter (100 ml/3.4fl oz)
A mixture of five strains of nitrifying bacteria that kick-starts the nitrification process within the aquarium, NitroBac reduces cycling time for new aquariums by 60 percent.

Marine Lab (includes Alkalinity Pro, Calcium Pro and Magnesium Test)
Correct water conditions are essential for all marine animals. Performing the tests Included in the Marine Lab will assist in establishing and maintaining a successful aquarium. Marine Lab includes tests for: pH, Alkalinity, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate. Includes a 0.85 fl.oz. trial bottle of Success Buff supplement.

A stable pH is essential for the well being of all aquarium inhabitants.

Alkalinity measures the capacity of seawater to absorb the acidic waste produced by fish, without affecting the pH. Maintaining an alkalinity of 2.2 meq/l will prevent sudden fatal drops in pH.

Both pH and alkalinity should be tested regularly. Alkalinity level can be adjusted by using a buffering solution such as Success Buff.

Ammonia, which is toxic for fish, is regularly introduced into the aquarium by fish waste. An established functioning Biological Filter, which house living colonies of nitrifying bacteria, will convert the ammonia to nitrite and thereafter to nitrate, which are less harmful. Regular testing for ammonia & nitrite will provide a positive indication that your Biological Filter is functioning is in balance with the stocking level.

Invertebrates react distressfully to low levels of nitrate. High nitrate levels will stress marine fish making them susceptible to infection. Excess nitrate is removed by partial water changes with nitrate-free water. Regular testing for nitrate will guide you as to when these essential water changes should be made.

Buff—pH & alkalinity stabilizer (100ml/3.4fl oz)
Buffering capacity refers to the aquarium water’s ability to maintain a stable pH as acids, such as nitrite, are introduced to it. In an aquarium buffering substances are consumed by calcareous algae and invertebrates and by the acid waste products of fish. Success Buff is a marine pH buffering solution that contains carbonates and bicarbonates of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and boron blended to the same ratio as that found in natural seawater. Success Buff helps to maintain a high buffer capacity and a stable pH in your aquarium.

Magnesium Supplement (100 ml/3.4 fl oz)
Magnesium plays an important role in the reef aquarium. In addition to its many biological functions, it serves to prevent the excessive precipitation of calcium and bicarbonate, which lowers the calcium level and causes a drop in alkalinity. Magnesium should be maintained at approximately 3 times the level of Calcium, measured in ppm. Success Magnesium contains only natural components in a balanced composition that safely raise the Magnesium level without disturbing the anion balance of the seawater even after prolonged use. Magnesium should be supplemented in combination with weekly 10% water changes,

Calcium Supplement (100 ml/3.4 fl oz)
Ion balanced Calcium for sustained Coral Growth

In the reef aquarium, a constant high calcium level is required to promote the growth of hard corals. This element should be supplemented regularly, since it is used up quickly by the growing corals and calcareous algae.

Success Calcium will not affect the pH or alkalinity (buffer capacity) of your aquarium and small amounts will raise the calcium level considerably. This product contains only natural components in a balanced composition, which will not disturb the anion balance of the sea salt even after prolonged use. Calcium should be supplemented together with Strontium, Molybdenum & Trace in combination with weekly 10% water changes.

Coral Buff Supplement
Red Sea’s Coral buff contain a mixture of balanced carbonate substances, borates and bi-carbonates which increase the alkalinity levels and the availability of free carbonates molecules , to be consumed during skeletogenesis process without interfering with the total aquarium chemistry. By using the coral buff, you increase coral skeleton growth by preventing from the carbonates to act as the limited factor in the process, which is usually the problem in reef tanks.

MAX Totem Cabinet

Designed to compliment the MAX, the custom built MAX Cabinet offers both superb looks and user-friendly functionality. Built to exactly match the colour, style and rounded contours of your MAX, the Cabinet transforms your aquarium into a eye-catching centerpiece in any room at home or at work.

Available in easy-to-assemble flatpack form, the Red Sea MAX Cabinet is constructed from sturdy materials to provide a strong and stable platform for your MAX, which can weigh up to 200kg, or 440 lbs when filled.

The Cabinet contains a large compartment custom designed to accommodate a water chiller, with sufficient room for models rated from 1/10 hp up to 1/2 hp.*

Above the chiller compartment is a removable, multi-position upper shelf for the convenient storage of foodstuffs, test kits, supplements and other aquarium essentials.

The Cabinet features a large rear opening for fast and easy access to the chiller tubing and power cable. The cabinet is also designed to have the MAX cabinet ventilation kit fitted. This kit reduces the wear and increases the life of chillers by removing warm air from the cabinet, pulling cooler air in.

Note: If you plan to use a water chiller, ensure that there is least 10cm / 4" of clearance behind the MAX to allow for sufficient air circulation.
