Red Sea Max E-260 Water change..

[Gary Ellis]

How much water do you remove when doing a water change in the E-260 (approximately) also what wattage heater should be used. I live in Vermont...

Hi Gary

I had the E260 before upgrading. You can choose the heater according to the water volume so get one for roughly a 260 litre tank. I had a single 200w in the back of mine

It’s up to you on water changes but 10% would be around 26 litres per week but you can choose what you want to do according to your lifestyle etc.

They are beautiful tanks, but I would also take a look at the Max S 400 entry. It’s a little bigger but the S Series are much easier to work with in terms of skimmers, filtration etc.

Whichever you choose you will love them as they are beautifully made.

I do 7-8 gallons a week water change. No heater, live in So Cal and have small inside dogs so the house is mildly heated or air conditioned even when no one is home.
