MAX 250 | Temperature Control
For optimum conditions a reef aquarium should be maintained at a stable water temperature in the range of 24-28°C /
76-82°F (the stability of the temperature being more important than the exact value). Slightly higher temperatures can be
tolerated for short periods of time as long as the change in temperature is steady and not sudden.
Most reef-keepers consider the installation of a chiller to be a basic necessity as a safeguard against sudden increases in
temperature. Given the cost of livestock, Red Sea recommends installing a chiller as a safeguard against sudden increases
in temperature.
The MAX is a closed top aquarium which signicantly reduces the natural evaporation of water; however it also reduces the
cooling effect that is a natural part of the evaporation process.
The water cooling fans located at the back of the aquarium can be used to induce evaporation cooling of the aquarium
water however to be effective the water level in the lter compartment must be maintained between the minimum and
optimum levels i.e. 6-7 notches down from the top of the viewing window.

water level
With the correct water level and the water cooling fans operating 24/7, the MAX water temperature will rise approx 4°C
above room temperature
In a well ventilated room with a stable ambient temperature of approximately 22°C it should be possible to maintain the
water temperature within the required range by using the water cooling fans however above this temperature a chiller
may be necessary. In ambient temperatures of 23°C and above a chiller of at least 1/6HP should be used.
Keep it in the range!
