Description

Stock Red Sea Max 250, purchased used in excellent condition. This is an upgrade from my Red Sea Max 130. I enjoyed the RSM 130 so much that I decided to upgrade to the 250 when the opportunity was given to me. The tank is pretty much plug and play. Tank has false wall with 3 chambers in the back. I’m running the stock skimmer which works pretty well although a bit noisy so I have it on a timer than comes on during sleep hours.
The tank temperature stays pretty high (with the closed hood) but I’ve managed to not lose any livestock due to the high temperatures (88 max). I’m in the process of upgrading to LED’s to lower the temps and I have clues my T5′s are old.
