red sea max owner I have had my Max running for several months now and I'm very happy with it overall. Very pleasant to look at, a nice piece of furnature. This set up is very user friendly, truly plug-n-play. The only drawback I have found so far is the filtration that comes with it is not very good. The flow rate seems to be slow so I removed the filter sponge that came with the tank. I'm still not happy with the filtration so I ordered a canister filter to hook up to it. I have had no other problems with it. I have live rock, live corals, 5 fish, a coral banded shrimp, an emerald crab, and various snails and hermit crabs. Maintaining the tank is very easy.The built in timer works great for automatic lighting. And built in on/off switches for each pump unit ara very handy. Yes, you could put a tank together for less money, but this setup is plug-n-play and worth the money for ease of setup and use. I have about 1100.00 in the complete system. I recommend this tank for beginners or expierenced aquarists. |
