Red Sea Max E260 Build thread

[E13MentX]

My fellow reefers,

After officially lurking on reef2reef for one year, I decided to start my own build thread/journal so I can share my progression in the hobby as well as keep track of the changes I make.

Currently I have a red sea max e260 as well as a 4x2x2 low boy frag tank. Although I am still relatively new in the hobby, like many of you I am addicted. I have already gone through many iterations of my tank and I am sure I will go through many more. I will try to share how my tank got started and post the progression I make to the tank. I have just recently started the zeovit system and I am excited to share the results that I get. If you guys have any advice or wisdom to share, please do so! Here is a current picture of what my tank looks like today

Thank you Shaun, I really like the tank as well, but I am ready for an upgrade. I am thinking about a red sea peninsula tank next. But need to buy a new house to have more space for it haha

I wasn’t going to say anything but I only had the E260 for 2 months before I upgraded to the Max S650! Lol

I got totally hooked on the hobby and thought best go big, and I’ve just done it again but much bigger!

Haha this was the upgrade lol, I went from a 10 gallon to the Red Sea Max E170 to this tank in the span of 6 months haha. Now I’m itching to go even bigger

I have the Max E-260 as well. I love my tank. I'd like to go bigger but don't have the room. Do you have any fish or just corals? You have some nice corals.

I love the tank as well. But I think for my next tank I want the Red Sea peninsula tank. I’m ready for an upgrade. I have tons of fish but some pics in the earlier pictures. I had to pull all the fish out due to ich outbreak. But they’re all back in the tank now.
