Red Sea MAX C-Series
Overview of the MAX
circulation system
The water flows from the aquarium to the rear sump via a detachable
surface skimmer located across the top of the dividing glass wall that
directs the organics laden water from the upper surface of the tank into
the sump. The circulation pumps located at the bottom of the sump
return the filtered water back to the tank through multidirectional outlet
nozzles.

The MAX C-Series sumps contain multistage filtration consisting of a
reef-spec protein skimmer, activated carbon and mechanical filtration
materials. The sump has dedicated space available for additional
chemical filter media as well as the addition of an optional chiller pump.
Water circulation is set at 10 to 15 times the entire water volume per
hour with forced flow through the mechanical and chemical filter media
while the protein skimmer treats the water at the SPS spec of at least 3
times per hour.
The performance of the filtration system is directly related to the water
level inside the aquarium and the rear sump however the MAX
sump and skimmer design allows for the fluctuations in water height due
to the daily evaporation of water from the system.
When all pumps are running, the water in the aquarium will be
maintained just below the bracing bars but above the external trim so
the water line in the aquarium will never be visible from the outside.
The water level in the rear should be maintained at least 40mm (1½")
below the water level in the aquarium to ensure a positive surface
skimming action at all times.

C rear sump filtration and Water loss due to evaporation will cause a drop in the water level of the
rear sump which can be monitored through the viewing slot at the top
of the side panels on both sides. In order to achieve the optimal filtration
performances, the water level inside the filtration chamber should be
kept at the optimum levels.
NOTE: Before connecting any components to the Power Center ensure
that all of the power switches are in the "off" position
6.1 Protein Skimmer:
The MSK protein skimmers consist of
three parts: skimmer body, collection
cup and skimmer pump.
Familiarize yourself with the
skimmer pump by disassembling and
reassembling all of the component
parts. Ensure that the impeller
chamber cover is correctly positioned

and properly secured by the bayonet
