The instructions on that link indicated the 1200 (larger) model.

since your tank is dry I would highly recommend pulling out the sump and cutting out the filter sock "holders" and the original water drain section behind the filter socks. You want that whole area to be 1 compartment.

When you turn off your return pump for any reason the sump will fill that rear compartment and their is no way to get the water out of that area without pumping it out. It will also make it easier to get the hosing to play nice for reefmat.

If you have any questions let me know. The max s line is the expensive red headed step child of red sea products and are mostly an after thought for red sea in terms on accessory compatibility.
