1 Safety

Please read and follow all safety instructions.

a. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is

malfunctioning, or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.

If the external cable is damaged, it shall only be replaced by the

manufacturer.

b. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting

wet, position the aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall

mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the

receptacle or plug. You should create a "drip loop" (Figure 1) for each

cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The "drip

loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or

the connector. Use an extension cord, if necessary, to prevent water

traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle.

If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord.

Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the

appliance. Then unplug the device and examine for presence of water

in the receptacle.

c. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.

d. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before

putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never pull the cord

itself to remove the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to

disconnect.

e. Do not use an appliance for anything other than its intended use.

The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance

manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

f. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the

weather or to temperatures below freezing point.

g. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before

operating it.

Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.

NOTE: A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating

may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that

it cannot be tripped over or pulled accidentally.

DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be

taken when handling a wet aquarium. For each of the

following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return

the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or

discard the appliance.

WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be

observed, including the following:

2 Location

The first step in setting up the MAX®E is to choose a suitable location.

Electric Supply

Ensure that the electric power supply outlet used for the MAX® E is

correctly rated for the system (E-170 160W / E-260 290W), plus

whatever additional equipment (such as a heater, chiller) you plan

on adding. The power supply outlet must be grounded and connected

to a circuit protected by a RCD/RCCB (residual current device or

residual current circuit breaker) also known as a GFI/GFCI (ground

fault circuit interrupter).

Floor

The floor directly below the legs must be level and rated for a static

loading of at least 30kg/cm2 (425 lbs/square inch).

Room temperature

Site selection is important for correct temperature maintenance.

We recommend that you keep the ambient room temperature a

comfortable and stable 22°C / 72°F. Avoid placing the tank in front of

an air conditioner, heating vents or direct sunlight. A well ventilated

room with moderate light is the best place to position the aquarium.

Accessibility

• Back: Ensure that there is at least 10cm (4") of clearance behind the

MAX® to allow for sufficient air circulation for a chiller and general ease

of operation.

• Sides (Rear): Ensure that there is sufficient room (approximately

60cm/24”) between both sides of the aquarium and any adjacent walls

or furniture for access to the rear of the tank. This is required for the

regular maintenance of the surface skimmer, protein skimmer, flow

pumps and filter media as well as installing/removing cables to power

center.

General considerations

Ensure that the area surrounding the aquarium is waterproof and

consider moving away anything that water might damage or which may

be corroded by salt.

3 Unpacking the MAX®E System

Please read this section carefully before proceeding.

1. Remove the protective packaging from around the top of the tank.

2. Remove the components and any packaging materials that are packed

inside the aquarium.

3. Open the accessory box and remove all of the parts for later

assembly.

Removing the aquarium

With one person positioned at either side of the box, grasp the upper

rim of the aquarium and gently lift it out and place on the designated

surface.

CAUTION: The aquarium has a bare glass bottom. Before removing the

aquarium from the box prepare a smooth, soft, clean flat

surface that can hold its weight.

NOTE: Every precaution has been taken to ensure the safe arrival of

the MAX® E aquarium system, however before installing a new

glass aquarium it is advisable to inspect it for damage or leaks.

Place the aquarium in a suitable location and fill the tank and rear

sump to approximately 2.5cm (1”) below the top of the glass.

Leave the water standing for 15 minutes and inspect for leaks.

Syphon all of the water out before moving.

NOTE: Part of Cabinet is packed under the aquarium!

5 Assembly

Perform the assembly and installation of all of the components in the

order described below before adding the water to the system.

5.1 Cabinet assembly

Detailed instructions for the assembly of the MAX® E cabinet can be found

in the accompanying graphic manual.

The assembly of the cabinet requires the use of a regular crosshead

screwdriver. Do not use an electric screwdriver.

Adjustment of the Push-To-Open (PTO)

door opening unit.

Pressing the end of the PTO unit by 1.5mm

(

1/16”) will spring the shaft

forward by 5cm (2”) to the open position.

Pushing the PTO shaft back inside the cabinet will lock it in the closed

position.

After assembling the cabinet door, make sure that the PTO is in the closed

position and allow the soft close hinges to fully close the door. With the

door in the closed position press the door in the region of the PTO. The door

should spring open. If the door does not spring open adjust the position

of the PTO by rotating the front end of the shaft anticlockwise half a turn.

Repeat this adjustment until pressing the door causes the PTO to operate.

After assembly, place the cabinet in the desired location.

5.2 Cabinet mounted Power Center

Remove the Splash Cover from the Power Center by sliding it towards the

front.

Align the mounting holes on the base of the Power Center with the

threaded plastic inserts on the internal wall of the cabinet.

Use the 4 long M4 screws and 1 short M4 screw as indicated to attach the

Power Center to the wall. Do not over-tighten the screws.

Pass the main cable through the hole in the rear of the cabinet and check

that it is able to reach the electric wall outlet. Do not plug the power

center into the wall outlet until instructed at the appropriate time in the

assembly process. Check that all of the switches are in the “off” position.

Stick the socket identification label (showing the connection between

sockets and switches) inside the cabinet, above the power center.

NOTE: Left and Right designations in this manual are when looking

from the front of the Aquarium.

WARNING: If you are not experienced in the construction of self

assembly furniture, seek suitably qualified assistance.

underneath the LED mounts and in line with the bottom of the glass.

5.4 LED Mounts

Align the LED mounting plate with the holes provided in the rear wall

of the aquarium and fix into position with the screws provided. Do not

attach the LED modules at this time. Do not insert the cable plugs into

the hole in the arm. Make sure that the mounting arm is in the horizontal

position.

5.5 Placing Aquarium

Lifting the glass aquarium onto the cabinet will require at least 2 people.

The top of the cabinet is approximately 86cm (34”) from the floor.

Ensure that anyone lifting the aquarium is physically suitable for such an

operation and has been instructed in the correct methods of lifting heavy

objects. Aquarium must be lifted from the bottom.

Before lifting aquarium, place the assembled cabinet in the final

operating position (see location above) and set the glass aquarium in

position on top.

The back and sides of the glass should be flush with the rear and side

edges of the top of the cabinet.

Once the aquarium is correctly aligned with the cabinet, check that the

cabinet has not moved. If necessary readjust the position of the cabinet.

Overview of the MAX®E filtration and

circulation system

The water flows from the aquarium to the rear sump via a detachable

surface skimmer located across the top of the dividing glass wall that

directs the organics laden water from the upper surface of the tank into

the sump. The circulation pumps located at the bottom of the sump

return the filtered water back to the tank through multidirectional outlet

nozzles. The MAX® E-series is designed to operate with either a rear sump

of an in-cabinet sump. The E-series is supplied as standard with the rear

sump. Upgrade kits to convert the rear sump to an in-cabinet sump are

supplied separately.

Rear Sump – Standard configuration

The MAX® E-Series sumps contain multistage filtration consisting of a

reef-spec protein skimmer, activated carbon and mechanical filtration

materials. The sump has dedicated space available for additional

chemical filter media as well as the addition of an optional chiller pump.

Water circulation is 12 or 16 times the entire water volume per hour

(according to model) with forced flow through the mechanical and

chemical filter media while the protein skimmer treats the water at the

SPS spec of at least 3 times per hour.

The performance of the filtration system is directly related to the water

level inside the aquarium and the rear sump however the MAX® E-Series

sump and skimmer design allows for the fluctuations in water height due

to the daily evaporation of water from the system.

When all pumps are running, the water in the aquarium will be

maintained at approximately 3cm (1.25”) below the rim.

The water level in the rear should be maintained just below the lowest

position of the adjustable skimmer outlet which is approximately 9cm

(3½”) below the rim. This level ensures positive surface skimming action

at all times and full adjustment of the protein skimmer.

Water loss due to evaporation will cause a drop in the water level of the

rear sump. In order to achieve consistent filtration performances, the

water level inside the filtration chamber should be kept at the optimum

levels. The sponges above the circulation pumps act both as mechanical

filtration as well as trapping bubbles that are released from the skimmer.

The MAX® E-Series preparations for upgrading the rear sump to an in-

cabinet sump include the following:

• Plugged multiport bulkhead set in the base of the skimmer chamber in

the rear sump.

• Return pump outlet port in the surface skimmer.

• Flow grills in the front wall of the rear sump. Note, these grills are

blocked when the system is used with the rear sump and will be

replaced with open grills when the upgrade is performed.

Upgrade Options

• Piping kit: Includes flow-regulated main downpipe, a secondary

overflow bypass pipe and return pipes for assembly in the multiport

bulkhead.

• Glass Sump (optional): Including Bubble trap sponge, 225 micron filter

bags and automatic top-up Reservoir with Float valve.

• Rear Cover (optional): An optional rear cover is available to replace

the sump screen. This cover reduces noise from the water flowing

through the surface skimmer and will help in reducing evaporation.

Full instructions for installing the upgrade are provided with the Pipe kit.

NOTE: Before connecting any components to the Power Center ensure

that all of the power switches are in the “off” position.

6.3 Media Rack:

The media rack is supplied

pre-assembled and placed in its

normal operating position within

the media compartment of the

rear sump. Familiarize yourself

with the media rack by removing

and reinserting it to the media

compartment.

6.4 Carbon:

Wash the carbon filter material

under running water several

times to remove residual dust. It

is recommended to soak it in water for 24-72 hrs. before usage otherwise

during the first 3 days after set-up the carbon may float and release

micro air bubbles from inside its pores.

Place the washed carbon onto the designated shelves on the media rack.

Ensure that the bag does not protrude outside the frame of the rack.

6.5 Flow Grills:

The circulation pump chambers are prepared

for flow grills to be added when the system

is upgraded to the in-cabinet sump. For the

surface skimmer to operate effectively in the

standard rear sump configuration the flow

grills are closed. These will be replaced with

open grills when the upgrade is performed.

6.6 Sump Screen:

Position the sump screen above the front wall of the rear sump. Align the

hinges above the clips on the top of the side walls and push firmly into

position. Push the rear of the sump screen until it clicks into position.

To rotate, pull the top of the screen forward until the screen lays flat on

the top of the tank.

6.7 Circulation Pumps:

Familiarize yourself with the

multidirectional outlet as shown in the

drawing.

Familiarize yourself with the circulation

pump by disassembling and reassembling

all of the component parts. Ensure that

the impeller chamber cover is correctly

is fixed into the glass. This part is a tight fit so that

it will not float out during any pump maintenance

but can be removed if necessary for cleaning.

4. Insert the Eyeball outlet followed by the seal into

the Outlet Holder.

5. Lower the pump into the pump chamber until the

Outlet Elbow with the Bayonet connector is opposite

the Outlet Holder.

6. Screw the Bayonet to the Holder until firmly in

position. Check that the Eyeball is free to rotate but

held securely in the desired position. Initially adjust

the nozzle to the downward position to prevent

splashing when the pump is first switched on.

7. Feed the power cable over the rear wall, thread

it through the cable channel and plug it into the

designated socket on the power center.

8. With the circulation pump secured in position, push the black filter

sponge into the pump chamber so that the slit in the sponge is in

line with the flexible pipe, as shown in the complete sump assembly

diagram.

7 Installation of optional Chiller

(not provided):

For the long-term safety and vitality of reef inhabitants Red Sea

recommends the use of chillers with all reef aquariums. Both the

aquarium and cabinet of the MAX® E systems are provided “Chiller Ready”.

The MAX® E cabinet has air ventilation openings both at the front and

rear to providing the free convection cooling necessary for the efficient

operation of aquarium chillers.

Use the Accessory/chiller kit to connect a pump and return pipes to a chiller.

1. Attach 17mm (¾”) flexible pipe to the outlet of a submersible pump

and attach one of the hose barbs to the free end of the pipe such that

the hose barb is perpendicular to the pump.

2. Lower the pump and tube assembly into the sump so that the hose

barb is facing the rear of the sump. Feed the power cable above the

rear wall, thread the cable through the cable channel and plug the

power cable into the designated socket on the power center.

3. Connect the required length of 17mm (¾”) flexible tubing to connect

the inlet and outlet ports of the chiller to the hose barbs on the back

of the accessory pipe unit. Lock the tubes to the hose barbs with the

lock nuts.

4. Slide the accessory pipe unit onto the back wall and fix in position

with the screw.

5. Push the hose barb of the pump into one of the connectors and screw
