Red Sea's Foundation™ Supplements Complete 3 x 250ml Starter Pack contains all of the essential foundation elements required in order for corals to thrive within the reef aquarium.

Therefore, calcium, carbonates (alkalinity), and magnesium require regular testing and supplementing.For best results, dose according to a measured uptake of Calcium KH/Alkalinity and Magnesium using Red Sea's FoundationTM Pro multi test kit.The foundation Supplements Complete Pack is part of Red Sea's complete Reef Care Program, which provides all of the supplements, test kits, and coral foods required to maintain a successful and healthy coral reef aquarium.Reef Care Recipes provides an easy-to-follow guide on how the Foundation supplements are used on different types of reef aquariums.Concentration:1ml will raise the Ca level of 100 liters (25 gal) by 2ppm.1ml will raise the Alkalinity of 100 liters (25gal) by 0.036 meq/l (0.1dKH)1ml will raise the Mg level of 100 liters (25gal) by 1ppm.package size/volume:3 X 250 ml

The MAX® E-series combines a contemporary, rimless design with state of the art technology.
The fully-featured REEF-SPEC® MAX® E system provides everything necessary in order to enable you to enjoy the beauty and diversity of your own piece of thriving coral reef, rather than worrying about component selection, suitability and compatibility. The MAX® E-Series features the very latest in reef-keeping technology including the Red Sea's all new ReefLED 90™ lighting with Wi-Fi control, REEF-SPEC® filtration and circulation systems, a revolutionary modular sump system and a one-plug control panel.The Red Sea MAX REEF-SPEC® performance criteria is the result of Red Sea's years of research into the sustainable growth of all corals, including the most delicate "SPS" corals, in an artificial reef environment. This knowledge, gained over 25 years, forms the basis for the specification of all Red Sea MAX® Aquarium systems designs.Reef-safe ReefLED™ 90 LightingThe MAX® E-Series incorporate the all-new Red Sea ReefLED 90 lights which are designed to ensure optimal coral growth and maximum rendition of their vibrant colors. At the heart of the unit is a compact Led array that provides a reef-safe range of REEF-SPEC light through a single REEF-SPEC Blue (23,000 Kelvin) channel that consists of an optimum combination of ultraviolet, violet and blue LEDs and an 8,000 Kelvin white channel. In addition, it has a separate dedicated 3W Moonlight channel to provide the low levels of light for reef-safe nighttime viewing.The ReefLED includes a single optical-glass, hollow lens that creates a homogenous light giving a dramatic coral coloration and a gentle shimmer throughout the aquarium.ReefLED is controlled by Red Sea's ReefBeat® App which provides a wide range of easy to use functions such as random clouds, acclimation for new installations and a lunar cycle for the moonlights.The LED unit is firmly bolted to the aquarium and can be rotated to give easy access to the rear sump for all of the regular maintenance requirements or for reefscaping. The MAX® E-170 reef aquarium system uses a single ReefLED 90 unit MAX® E-Series Revolutionary Modular Sump systemDual sump options for total flexibility. The MAX® E-Series feature a unique sump system, enabling simple conversion of the integrated rear sump into a fully operational stand alone in-cabinet sump.Start your reef with the built-in rear sump that houses the complete REEF-SPEC® filtration and circulation systems. If you decide to add additional equipment such as a calcium reactor, the modular filtration system can easily be expanded by installing an optional Red Sea in-cabinet sump.Red Sea's unique overflow system, with its fully regulated silent-flow downpipe (as used in the top-of–the-range S-Series), easily connects to the integrated multiport bulkhead without the need for any cutting, gluing or emptying of the entire aquarium.The optional sump conversion kit includes a customized glass sump with a dedicated constant height skimmer chamber, a flow-regulated overflow system and an integrated automatic top up.MAX® E-Series Ultra Clear GlassThe front and two side panels of the Max® E-Series are constructed from Ultra-Clear glass for the ultimate viewing experience. The 12mm thickness of the front panel allows us to avoid using bracing bars, enabling a clean rimless design with smart beveled edges top and bottom.MAX® E-Series CirculationMAX® E-170 is equipped with 2150l/h pump. The flow is returned to the aquarium via the discrete multidirectional "eye ball" nozzles that can be adjusted to ensure there are no dead spots within the aquarium, preventing harmful detritus from building up on the corals.MAX® E-Series Rear SumpThe MAX® E-Series aquariums are divided into 2 parts – Aquarium and the Rear Sump that discretely houses all of the filtration and circulation systems. The MAX® E-Series sumps contain multistage filtration consisting of a REEF-SPEC® protein skimmer, activated carbon and mechanical filter materials. The sump has dedicated space available for additional chemical filter media as well as the addition of a chiller.MAX® E-Series Protein SkimmerThe heart of the filtration system is the protein skimmer. The MSK 900 skimmer implements Red Sea's REEF-SPEC® criteria for SPS corals, passing the entire volume of the aquarium water through the skimmer at least 3 times per hour and with a 3 to 1 water to air ratio. The design of MAX® E skimmers is not affected by the regular fluctuation in the water level of the rear sump due to evaporation and has an adjustable outlet gate to maintain the optimal skimmate consistency which will vary according to actual water conditions. The new skimmer pump and impellor run cooler and quieter than before and the built in silencer on the air intake does a great job of eliminating skimmer noise.MAX® E-Series Media RackThe rear sump includes a convenient media rack for Red Sea's new highly adsorbent phosphate-free REEF-SPEC™ Carbon which is supplied with the MAX® E system, and has extra shelves for the easy addition of other chemical filter media.Chiller Ready KitThe Red Sea MAX® E-Series sump has a dedicated place for the addition of a chiller pump as well as a convenient connection bracket for the chiller piping (Chiller and pipes are not supplied with the system).Integrated Power CenterThe MAX® E-Series incorporates the one-plug MAX® concept and features a power center with easy access to 7 individually switched power sockets for all system electrical sub-components. The power center is conveniently located in the cabinet and enables safe and easy control of all of the MAX® sub-systems.MARINE-SPEC CabinetThe MAX® E-Series feature a marine-spec laminate cabinet fronted with weatherproof epoxy painted doors with convenient push openers as well as soft close stainless steel hinges. The cabinets are ventilated to provide convection cooling for a chiller. Offered with black or white exteriors, all cabinets have a black interior which maintains its clean appearance over time.System water volume Combined aquarium and sump (not including optional sump for MAX® E) - 170 L (45 gal)Display tank - 140LRear Sump volume - 30LAquarium glass thickness 12mmSurface skimmer - YesReefLED™ 90 - 1 UnitTotal circulation lph (gph) - 1 x 2150 (570)Protein skimmer MSK 900: 900 lph (240 gph) water flow – 250 lph (66 gph) air flowFittings for easy chiller installationIntegrated power center - 7 OutletsMechanical filtration - Low density sponge filter mediaMedia Rack For rear sumpChemical filtration High grade phosphate-free activated carbon 200gCabinet Compartments Dedicated chiller compartment (not in E-170 if optional in-cabinet sump installed)Length Display tank 60 cmWidth Display tank 57.5 cmHeight Display tank 55 cmTotal system height (excluding LED light unit)142 cm
