Red Sea MAX 250 Manuals

MAX 250 Hood Disassembling and Reassembling the hood • Place the hood upside down on a flat surface or if available on the original foam packaging. • Unscrew the 6 lens screws located at the front of the lens. • Rotate the lens to the upright position and remove from the brackets by pulling the lens towards the front. • Put the lens in a safe place where it will not get scratched. • If not already in place, insert all 6 light tubes into the hood. • Carefully remove the 17 screw covers that hide the screws that hold the top and bottom parts of the Hood together. • This is best done by using a thin, flat blade screwdriver in the place provided. • There is no need to remove the screw covers from the Front Cover. • Unscrew the screws using a Philips screwdriver.

MAX 250 | Temperature Control For optimum conditions a reef aquarium should be maintained at a stable water temperature in the range of 24-28°C / 76-82°F (the stability of the temperature being more important than the exact value). Slightly higher temperatures can be tolerated for short periods of time as long as the change in temperature is steady and not sudden. Most reef-keepers consider the installation of a chiller to be a basic necessity as a safeguard against sudden increases in temperature. Given the cost of livestock, Red Sea recommends installing a chiller as a safeguard against sudden increases in temperature. The MAX is a closed top aquarium which significantly reduces the natural evaporation of water; however it also reduces the cooling effect that is a natural part of the evaporation process. The water cooling fans located at the back of the aquarium can be used to induce evaporation cooling of the aquarium water however to be effective the water level in the filter compartment must be maintained between the minimum and optimum levels i.e. 6-7 notches down from the top of the viewing window. optimum water level With the correct water level and the water cooling fans operating 24/7, the MAX water temperature will rise approx 4°C above room temperature In a well ventilated room with a stable ambient temperature of approximately 22°C it should be possible to maintain the water temperature within the required range by using the water cooling fans however above this temperature a chiller may be necessary. In ambient temperatures of 23°C and above a chiller of at least 1/6HP should be used. Keep it in the range! 24-28°C  (76-82°F)
