The beginning of my thread was not so good so here it is a little improvement:
My wife and I decided to build a new house, we live in Aguascalientes, Mexico. As part of the new house I decided to upgrade my current 70L nano to a Red Sea Max S-500. I put it together along with two friends from the LFS. The tank was crazy heavy. The set up was done with dry rock and I am using Red Sea Coral Pro salt.
I went with a Red Sea Max as I needed a gorgeous tank because it is in my living room and needed something to be neat and good looking, no cables whatsoever is another of the characteristics I liked. The Hydra 26 HD lights make a great job but the skimmer is subpar. It is a shame Red Sea does not give the option to buy the system without a skimmer. I immediately detected I would need a chiller since it is may and the tank is running at 26 C already. After 5 weeks of cycling the tank was ready to receive the fish and corals from my nano, my clowns, chromis, crabs and corals went in without any problem. They thrived from the beginning, the only adjust I had to make is to dim the lights as the Red Sea recommended settings were bleaching my duncans.
The skimmer is so so but I cannot get ride of some micro bubbles, does anybody has experience on this?
