Red Sea Max S-650 Build thread

[djcalvin408]

Hello All,

New member here. Wanted to come by and introduce myself. Was a reefer about 10 years ago, but moved and ended up selling my tank. I'm so glad to start up another system. Was missing it dearly!

Anyhow, I took the delivery of the new Red Sea Max S-650 today, in White. Here are photos of the new tank unboxing. Will update on progress with everyone.

Looking very nice, looking foward to seeing it come together

 

[wysiwyg]

[KLR]

Red Sea Max keeps on getting classier with their tank designs! Very nice build so far!

 

[strange33w]

Very nice I have always liked the red sea AIO tanks. Keep posting pics as it comes along.

 

[djcalvin408]

Thanks guys! I'll get a picture as soon as the dust settles.


Quick Question: Do you think (2) ecotech mp40es is overkill for tank this size (one on each end)?

 

[Zoacoral]

whats the dimensions of this tank?

 

[djcalvin408]

Hi Zoacoral, it's 175G 64" inches long. Theres already 4 circulation pumps mounted on the back, and 1 return pump.

Tank looks very nice. How long did it take for you to put it together

Hi Racer, took 2 days since you have to put together the stand, lighting, filtration and everything in between. Plus i'm not very not good at putting things together =] thank you

 

[usfpaul82]

Two mp40s are not overkill. I run two on my standard 90gallon (48" long)

 

[revsgirl]

Beautiful tank!! Lookin' forward to seeing your progress!!
