Red Sea Max 250 (24) State of the Tank Update

Over 50,000 views has been overwhelming. I have been terribly remiss by not doing more frequent updates and promise to do them more often moving forward. The tank is in great shape! I still love it and continue to enjoy the hobby as much as I did when I first started. The Red Sea System has performed pretty much flawlessly with the exception of the protein skimmer which I am not thrilled with. As you can see I have a few varieties of fish and a number of different types of coral and my plan for the next video is to talk about some changes in feeding that I've made, lighting and hopefully a few other things you'll hopefully find interesting! Enjoy and thanks again for watching my videos!

Do you still have the Hydor Wave Deflector? I'm just setting up my RSM250 and trying to fix the current problem with moving the substrate in the left hand corner.

[JeffsRedSeaMax250]

@modulok30 I do not. I took it off a couple of months ago. I did a couple of things that I think helped correct the problem your having. 1: I no longer have any filter media betwen the skimmer and the left pump. Only the divider filter and the foam over the pumps. 2: I lowered my overflow so that the sump is always full. This stopped the skimmer from continually needing to be adjusted and seems to have slowed the left pump down just a little. I messed with the direction abit and now its OK

Can you provide an update on the chiller you purchased? Was it really necessary?

How many ibs of rock do you have total in the tank? Putting inventory together and at 1.5ibs per G you are looking at almost 100ibs or so...wondering if that is too much? Great videos thanks!

Filing off your tank does is not a water change. You must be knew to the hobby because you don't know much at all.
