Nope this will be a separate system with slightly lower Sg than my main tank... as for the substrate... not too sure bro :unsure:

Warm air from the power compacts and electronic ballasts is discharged from the air vents on the sides using a built-in fan :)

The Red Sea Max features a 4-stage filtration system :)

1) Protein Skimmer (which I will feature shortly)

2) Mechanical Filtration – in the form of 2 types of sponges (coarse and fine)

3) Activated Carbon - to remove DOCs

4) Biological Media - (shown below) ceramic bio-media providing enormous surface are of 420m2/l for nitrifying bacteria colonization

The ceramic rings were neatly sealed within a filter bag... I've decided to use them as I plan to reduce the amount of LR used in this setup :)

Let's take a look at the skimmer shall we?

First of all... I am very impressed (and glad) to discover that the skimmer pump was manufactured by Hydor Italy. At least RSM is not giving me China pumps throughout :lol:

In case you guys think RSM comes with a lousy skimmer... think again :D

Extracted from RSM website:

Q: Is the skimmer used in the MAX a Prizm?

A: The MAX Turbo Skimmer is based on the effective convergent-divergent technology reaction chamber developed for the Prizm / Prizm Pro skimmers, but here it is employed in a completely new way.

The MAX Turbo Skimmer is designed to operate as an “in-aquarium†skimmer only. The skimmer pump, featuring a new air injecting impellor design, is dedicated to the job of mixing the air and water inside the skimmer - and not pushing water through the skimmer. The skimmer pump inlet is located underneath the skimmer, so it’s constantly ###### in a mixture of new water flowing through the complete filter section and recycled water that has just exited the skimmer. The air / water ratio is such that the skimming effect is far superior to that achieved by the Prizm Pro. The pump cycles the complete volume of aquarium water 3.8 times per hour through the skimmer. It is guaranteed to work, trouble-free.

For the sake of comparison, the Prizm Pro is designed as a hang-on skimmer with a single pump that must perform the dual functions of pushing water through the skimmer and injecting the air into the system. The rating of the Prizm Pro is for cycling the aquarium water once every 2 hours, which in reality is no longer in line with our current awareness and philosophy on the role of skimming in a reef aquarium.

And the chamber is 20" tall :D Not bad for a nano tank :P

All for 28W :)

I think the skimmer + Hydor pump should've costed $300 by itself :eyebrow:

The collection cup is not small at all... able to hold 1.5L... probably can last a week of semi-wet skimming (depending on stocking of course) :)

The skimmer body holds 3.8L btw :nc:

I fired it up yesterday... extremely quiet... lovely :eyebrow:

The plastics used are slightly tinted black... probably will not be able to see skimmate that clearly :unsure:

Will talk about the return pumps and SAFETY later :fear:

I am wondering if Mini Arctica will be able to keep the tank temperature down effectively... The tank capacity is already close to chiller max capacity... Plus the heat from the light, have used the 55w before, it is hot..
