Jervis' 6th Tank

[jervismun]

Hi guys

Another project in the making... just wanna share it here

Here's more information on my new nano tank Red Sea Max

Here's a space in my office I manage to allocate for this new project

[jervismun]

Bought from Aquamarine... delivered today (right on time) by Qian Hu

The cabinet comes very well protected with a thick layer of shrink-wrapping... the box design looks very nice

[jervismun]

Too bad the box was designed too "hug-fit"... gotto destroyed the box in order to remove the tank a little easier

The tank itself is 25kg... requires 2 adult to move around

[the oracle]

I wish i can have so many tanks like you!

Very funny guys

A macro shot of the brand... in 3D form... and the Seahorse logo is quite a coincidence

[jervismun]

Here's an overview... will post more pix on the features and equipments tomorrow... basically it took me and a fellow reefer 30 mins to set up the tank yesterday

The setup is so "sweet"... you guys should do it with your special person

Went back office this afternoon to work on this new baby... here's the Reef Aragonite that comes with the starter kit Find them quite nice... so decided to use them

[jervismun]

A write-up... Red Sea is very good at providing information... extremely crucial for new reefers IMO

The sand comes from South East Asia

[jervismun]

Despite the "light rinsing required" claim... I find them quite dusty... spent more than an hour rinsing/soaking the sand using DI water

[jervismun]

Here's my sand bed... around 2" thick Shown with the main lights on

Hi bro

Might as well post here... $1888 for a RSM + Mini Arctica bundle... but again there might be more recent promos going around... so do check around for good deals

Here's the salt mix that comes with the Starter Pack... specially formulated for Reverse Osmosis water I've given it to a fellow reefer as he uses RO water

Mr DPM always trying out new stuff.

Hey,

Thanks man. Not too bad a price really.

Cheers

Thanks man. Not too bad a price really.

Yupe... it's a good deal considering the "newness" of both products

And not forgeting all the goodies that come with the Starter Kit... here's the Hydormeter... tested vis-a-vis my Refractometer... the Red Sea Hydormeter is 0.001 lower than my Refractometer... well... close enough

[jervismun]

Let's talk about lighting now

Extracted from RSM website:

Q: Why are the Max light tubes called T5 power compacts?

A: Regular power compact lighting has a tube diameter of 6/8â€, which is known as T6. T5 tubes haves a smaller diameter (5/8â€) and produce a higher intensity output. The T5s used in the MAX are custom made power compacts that enable us to provide 55 watts of light in a smaller footprint than the equivalent (2 x 24 W) regular T5 tubes would provide. Regular power compact are often powered by magnetic ballasts, but the MAX T5 power compacts are powered by an electronic ballast to guarantee consistent high performance.
