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.

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.

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
positioned and properly secured by the

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
