Hello! I may not get a response but I came across a Max 250 that needs a lot of love! So I’m looking for the Hood Fans, water cooling fans, Hood Supports, Skimmer, and possibly return pumps. Any suggestions on where to find any of these parts?

I think marineandreef had most of that stuff when I did mine. Might even still be available directly from Redsea.
I was unable to find replacement water cooling fans, so I just ended up buying some more hood fans and modifying the housing

Been awhile since I've updated. Unfortunately, there have been several losses over the last 6 months or so, and I have yet to get the exact cause nailed down.
Been fighting these infernal white bugs on and off since December, which is definitely not helping with stress to the acros.



Just started another 23mg interceptor regimen last week. I can't spot any anymore and PE is starting to return to some. Second dose just went in today.

Here's the other issue I'm dealing with. The skin on many of my SPS corals is bubbling up. It doesn't always kill the whole coral, but it has decimated some really nice pieces.
Praying this one stays alive.

SCOP is gone except for about 2 polyps. Lost most of my PC rainbow. WD is about 80% gone. BC bonfire got pretty well torched. Half of my aussie gold is gone.
Lost this whole thing overnight and it's a danged shame. Never seen another one like it.

If anyone knows of a trade name, I would love to get my hands on another one.
