Setting Up The Red Sea Max This Week!!

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

There are also lots of local reefers you can visit (if they're willing & they usually are) to see their setups first-hand. If you get to Burnaby, you're welcome to come by and we'll show you our fw & sw setups & I can try to answer any questions you may still have about setting up a sw tank. Most of the local reefers I know on here & on BCA are very happy to have others come over & talk about their addiction. I'm sure you can find someone in Richmond if you don't want to travel too far.

Just a thought.

You guys are great! I cant wait to see some of your set ups! Mine however looks crazy right now,I have read my directions and cant figure out how to tuck in these cords? I added extra silicone to the inside chambers (didnt do a great job gee who would have thought it would be so hard to work with that goo.Any body have pic of their cord storage?

So I tested my levels yesterday and they needed more salt which I mixed and added more last night.Asuming I am reading the refractometer right the readings on the left is what I want level with the blue line? if that is the case thn I am at 1.025! I still think I need more sand if I want to get a JawFish in the future.I will get more sand tomorrow and give it a good cleaning and the water should be clear before I add my Live Rock on Friday. I also have to buy a test Kit,any Suggstions?

If you are looking at getting a jawfish for that size of tank, I would build him an enclosure out of PVC pipe. It is essentially a small square with a small piece of pipe coming out of one side that comes out of the sand. Here is a link to the forum on how to make it.

Otherwise, you are going to have to have 3-4 inches of sand for a minimum.
As for test kits, there are 2 really good ones. I use the Salifert brand, but I know a lot of people use Elos as well.
