Location
The first step in setting up the aquarium is to choose the
location. The location should be decided upon in advance
because, once filled with substrate, rocks and water, the
aquarium must not be moved. Consider the following
parameters in choosing the location.
Tank weight and support
The tank weighs about 200 kg (440lbs) once full of water, reef
base and live rock. If choosing not to use the Red Sea MAX
stand, consider this weight when selecting the aquarium
support. If the support you choose is not designed as an
aquarium stand, ensure that it can withstand the weight, and
that it remains balanced and level. Red Sea MAX, like all glass
aquariums, may crack if subjected to sudden movement as a
result of uneven water pressure on the glass walls.
Accessibility
In choosing the location, be sure to consider the ability to
raise the hood and skimmer collection cup for regular
maintenance. Make sure that you can reach the power center
switches located at the rear on the right-hand side of the MAX
