Redsea Max 500

[Sean]

Has anyone seen this new unit? I'm torn, They are getting into large scale aquariums and the novelty of an ALL in one is sort of lost. The appeal to me was that everything was crammed into a small aquarium. Also the lack of customization on these units in the past have made me question why one would not go custom if space was not a problem.

I'm planning on moving into a new place and doing some research on getting a larger tank, and since my only aquarium has really been a nano cube when it comes to large scale i'm sort of lost at sea (See what i did there)

What is your guys take on this thing? I think its great for newbies but im sort of in the middle stage here. I'm also curious on why the top is open this time around.

For that kind of cash you can build a nice custom setup according to your own dreams not theirs. My take on it.

Open top due to heat I imagine (if there is no chiller with the thing)

Does anyone know if they make water change buckets for the redsea max? I always thought it would be nifty to have custom buckets for their indvidual tank sizes that have the 10%,20%,30% water change clearly marked right on the bucket. Also thought it would be neat to have a measuring cup with sillimar information for the salt. I know every tank would be different depending on the amount of items in it but it would be kind of neat as a guideline

I have what you're referring to. Mine was sold as a kit tho. First you buy and use a full bucket of salt and then purchase a permanent black marker. Combine A with B and your dreams shall come true =)

LOL, I guess that would work too

7 coffee cups in a garbage can filled 3 inch from the top works out
perfect for me

Haven't seen the wholesale price on them, but the msrp is crazy.
