REEF-FRAME MAX 170 Red Sea – Fully equipped and connected 174 L reef aquarium

The Red Sea REEF-FRAME MAX 170 is a next-generation high-end reef aquarium, designed to provide a complete, high-performance, and intelligent setup. With its total volume of 174 L, this marine aquarium brings together the essential equipment needed for the operation of a modern reef in a harmonious and fully compatible setup.

Unlike the standard REEF-FRAME, the REEF-FRAME MAX 170 is offered in a configuration Plug & Play integrating the lighting, the protein skimmer, the automatic mechanical filtration, the return pump, the water circulation, and the top-off system.

This new generation also benefits from the evolution ReefControl, making it possible to centralize the management of top-off water replenishment and to consider adding compatible digital sensors for more comprehensive monitoring of the aquarium.

The system stands out for its ultra-clear glass, internal bracing, high-quality European silicone, and molded cabinet available in black, white, or oak.

The new features of the REEF-FRAME MAX 170

ReefControl Pro: an integrated smart controller

The big new feature of the REEF-FRAME MAX 170 “resides in the integration of the” ReefControl Pro, which marks a new step in the intelligent management of Red Sea aquariums.

This controller makes it possible to centralize compatible functions, notably the new Reef ATO top-off system for ReefControl. It thus replaces the concept of an independent controller dedicated solely to top-off.

Thanks to its scalable architecture, the ReefControl Pro also allows for the addition of up to 7 ReefSense probes and sensors, as well as 2 12 V devices.

The application Red Sea ReefBeat offers a management interface for the various connected devices in the Red Sea ecosystem.

Reef ATO for ReefControl: new automatic top-off system

The Reef ATO for ReefControl replaces the old ReefATO+ from previous generations.

The system automatically compensates for water evaporation by activating an auto-top-off pump when the level drops in the sump.

Its connection to the ReefControl Pro controller simplifies the organization of the setup by centralizing top-off management within an intelligent, scalable system.

This automation helps maintain a consistent water level while reducing the need for daily manual intervention.

A scalable installation with ReefSense

The REEF-FRAME MAX 170 is designed to evolve with the needs of its user.

The ReefControl Pro controller allows for the later integration of compatible monitoring equipment, in order to access more information about the aquarium’s operation.

Compatible ReefSense digital probes and sensors can thus enhance monitoring and notification capabilities from the ReefBeat app.

Internal cerclage and European silicone

The REEF-FRAME MAX 170 “benefits from an elegant” “cerclage interne” translates to **“internal cerclage”** in English., bringing a modern and refined finish.

This new generation also uses a high-quality European silicone, contributing to the quality of workmanship and the finish of the aquarium.

A complete aquarium with Red Sea equipment included

The main advantage of the REEF-FRAME MAX 170 is to bring together the essential equipment in a coherent setup, specially designed for reef aquariums.

Each component has been selected to work with the other equipment in the system, making setup easier and allowing you to take advantage of the Red Sea connected ecosystem.

ReefLED G2 115: included reef LED lighting

The REEF-FRAME MAX 170 is equipped with a ReefLED G2 115, accompanied by its mounting bracket.

This next-generation lighting develops a spectrum specially designed to promote coral growth and reveal their fluorescent pigments.

The ReefLED G2 offers color temperature adjustment ranging from about 10,000 K to 23,000 K, allowing you to switch from a natural white look to intense reef-blue lighting.

Its spectrum includes, in particular, violet, blue, and UV wavelengths, as well as an independent Moonlight channel intended for nighttime observation.

“The” ReefLED G2 115 is fully controllable from the ReefBeat app, with several smart functions:

Daily schedule: Creation of light cycles with gradual transitions.

Acclimatization: gradual adjustment of light intensity when introducing new corals.

Lunar simulation: reproduction of soft nighttime lighting.

Cloud simulation: automatic variations in light intensity.

Custom settings: Adaptation of lighting output for the observation and photography of corals.

The supplied mounting bracket attaches to the rear glass and makes it easier to access the aquarium during maintenance operations.

REEFER DC Skimmer 300: intelligent skimmer included

The REEF-FRAME MAX 170 “comprend un” translates to **“includes a”** or **“comprises a”**, depending on context. Red Sea REEFER DC Skimmer 300 skimmer (water flow rate 1,000 L/h, air flow rate 500 L/h), designed to ensure efficient extraction of the organic substances present in the water.

Its DC operation makes it possible to adjust the pump’s power according to the aquarium’s needs.

The skimmer is equipped with an intelligent control system that helps limit the risk of over-skimming and cup overflow, while maintaining water oxygenation.

Its integration into the ReefBeat ecosystem makes it easy to control and monitor its operation with compatible control accessories.

ReefMat 250: automatic mechanical filtration included

The REEF-FRAME MAX 170 “is equipped with a” Red Sea ReefMat 250, an automatic mechanical roller filter designed to effectively remove suspended particles.

Unlike traditional mechanical filtration that requires frequent cleaning, the ReefMat automatically advances its filter roll when necessary.

The particles are thus gradually removed from the filtration circuit, which helps preserve the clarity of the water and limit the accumulation of organic waste.

The system is designed to allow easy replacement of the filter roll and convenient maintenance.

ReefRun G2 4000: included return pump

The circulation between the settling tank and the main aquarium is ensured by a Red Sea ReefRun G2 4000 return pump.

This DC pump offers a adjustable flow rate up to 4,000 L/h and benefits from a design that promotes quiet and energy-efficient operation.

Its controller makes it easy to adjust the upward flow rate to the needs of the installation.

The ReefRun G2 can also benefit from advanced control functions within the ReefBeat ecosystem when paired with compatible control accessories.

ReefWave 25: circulation pump included

The REEF-FRAME MAX 170 includes a ReefWave 25 circulation pump, capable of producing a wide and uniform stream of water.

Its maximum flow rate reaches about 7,500 L/h, allowing different water movements to be created to suit the needs of the corals.

Gyre-type circulation technology promotes extensive water movement throughout the aquarium, limiting areas where waste could accumulate.

The ReefWave uses a quiet sine-wave motor, anti-vibration mounts, and double-bearing rotors.

Thanks to the ReefBeat app, the user can customize the flow programs, adjust their intensity, and vary the water movement throughout the day.

Slide-Out Control Panel 25: a practical control panel

The system also includes a Slide-Out Control Panel 25, a sliding mounting panel designed to organize controllers and electrical accessories in the cabinet.

It makes it possible to group the control equipment together and improve accessibility during maintenance operations.

This organization helps maintain a clean, functional, and easily accessible facility.
