Setting up my Red Sea MAXE-260!

Surfandturf · Sep 19, 2018

So I am setying up my new tank and dang, this thing is a beauty! I do have a few questions as I am setting it up. One of my main questions is, will the AI hydras pair with my AI primes that I have on my 30gal? If not, will they affect one another? As I am setting up the skimmer, I notice that the directions in the manual could be a little more clear, but other than that, I am super excited to get this thing going!

Pretty sure that both lights are controllable via the MyAI app, but shouldn't sync to each other.

Awesome tank I have one just like it, been set up since May this year.

So I hooked up the lights today and the AI hydras soaked up my ai primes. Totally wiped out my setting on the current tank. Not cool.

Did my aquascape today! Not using live rock so my cycle will take a little longer, but I am in no rush. Water goes in on Sunday. 40lbs of rock and 20 lbs of sand.

Trying to think of some fish ideas for this tank. I know that I do not want clowns. I am tired of the one I have that attacks my hand and arm lol. Even though I do have them on my tattoo. I was thinking a juvenile hippo tang, a blonde naso, and yellow tang.

And the cycle begins. See ya in 8 weeks!

Looking great! We've got the same tank. Mine was doing great and then we moved. I've also been really busy with work so the tank got a little neglected. Finally able to spend some time on the tank.

Thanks! Yea I really love this tank. One thing that I would recommend is an autodoser. Since installing it I, growth has exploded. Hope you get yours back up soon.
