Setup of the Red Sea Max 34 Gallon Aquarium

Posted August 30th, 2007 by Ryan

I ordered the Red Sea Max aquarium to hold my corals and fish while I take down my 75 Gallon aquarium. I am doing this because the sump is leaking, and it has affected the stand it is on. I unwrapped the shrink wrap that was around the aquarium and took a quick snap as I went along. After I put it together (which took less than 15mins, and includes putting filter mesh in, skimmer assembly and pumps) I turned on the T5 lights, powerful enough I thought for SPS corals, as long as they are close to the top. I have a few SPS corals in my 75 gallon right now. I am now just worried if I can get it cycled fast enough. I’ve included another picture with the lights on after the jump!
