Thank you for the review. Getting back into the hobby after a 15yr hiatus and I’m interested in this tank. Curious how you’re liking it 2 years later, and whether you would suggest something different.
Hi. Great informative vid. Thanx Red Sea give you the external dimensions. What the internal usable depth. How much do you lose from the 57.5cm to the rear sump.
It was either this or a Innovatice marine 40 gallon, the IM is much cheaper BUT it lacks most equipment needed to even RUN a saltwater tank, and when adding up all my equipment for it totaled out at around 2 grand, not including the fish coral sand rock and other stuff I’d need like food, test kits, water stabilizers etc. this tank was my choice
If you are looking at adding a sump later then wouldn't it have been better to go for a different tank like the Red Sea Max XL 200 or the Reefer 170? I really don't get why Red Sea Max wouldn't configure the outlets to UK type? This is such a bad decision and defeats the purpose of having a clean electrical system. Are you still liking this tank or do you now think you might have gone with another version of Red Sea Max? Thanks!
Google Reviewer possibly yes but I was more interested initially in the plug and play features, plus the convenience of not shopping round for lighting. I’m happy overall with the e170 and would recommend it. The situation with the UK plugs is ridiculous. Surely the UK must be one of the largest markets?
I'm about to purchase this tank and I've read on forums that the media rack/basket sucks. Someone pointed out that intank offers a upgrade for the media basket. do you think its worth the upgrade or just stick with the stock one?
Nolan Piacentini I actually rate the basket. It’s really handy and seems hold the media in well. I like the fact I don’t have to submerge my whole hand to get the media lowest down out of the tank
Buddy, so you haven't used the power centre with travel adapters without the cover in case of a leak, and instead added a extension lead which is open?... same thing right 🤷 I'm getting this tank in the next few weeks and will just use travel adapters. But you are right for the price of the tank shouldn't have to really
Chris Gooding Hi Chris, nothing to do with leaks at all. The reason I’ve not used the power centre is I just didn’t want to use travel adapters so I could plug the items in there. Just my preference really. Thanks for watching and good luck with the tank 👍🏼

Reefers looking at this thinking "7 plug sockets???where do we plug the other 11!?"😂😂😂😂
The lack of a three pin plug in the bus has put me off.

Great video I just got my tank and I don’t know what to do with micro bubbles inside the tank from protein skimmer any suggestions?
