Red Sea Max ?'s

RyanMcLaughlin · 06/14/2008, 05:12 PM

Ok so currently I have a 100 gallon tank and have come to the conclusion that I cant afford it. In my position I think it would be best for me to downgrade to a maximum of 55 gallons. However I was looking at the Red Sea Max and really just love it. It seems great and I love the idea of everything enclosed like that. But I would like opinions on how good it is and was it worth the money. Do any of you have to do mods to it to make it work well for reefs? Also what happens if a piece breaks? How would you replace it?
Thank you,
Ryan McLaughlin

I don't have any personal experience w/ the setup, but That Fish Place has two of them set up as displays and they have all types of softies and Lps thriving in these tanks. I think they look fantastic.

There are places that sell replacement parts for the RSM i found one but i don't need to replace them yet.

I love my new RSM i downgraded from my 90 gallon, looks so much better.
