Are the new LED versions of the RSM series still being released?

[Frankb1]

Is RED SEA still going to release the RSM series with LED lighting or has that been cancelled. I've signed up for the newsletter and have never heard anything.

 

[mike1970]

Yeah they will be called the E series. They say Mid 2016 they will be released

 

[Frankb1]

I thought the E-series were the rear sump models? I'm talking about the RSM-650 that they were supposedly going to release late this year with LED lighting and a few other changes that I believe they had on display MACNA 2014-15.?

 

[mike1970]

I don't know if this has changed of late but check out this video

The December newsletter only spoke of the new "Reefer XL" tanks nothing about new lighting options led or otherwise. Is there another letter coming out this month?

The LED upgrade for existing S series tank is for sale here in the UK. I ordered mine last week with my regular LFS, the shop is expecting delivery at the end of January 2016. Details here on another of my other LFSs website....

I've no idea what Red Sea will do with new S series tanks - offer the LEDs or T5s as options..... Who knows.

or just a link to a company offering lights they developed for Red Sea tanks, like Stevesleds has done?

The MAX® E-Series features the very latest in reef-keeping technology including the Hydra 26™ HD LED lighting with WiFi control, Reef Spec filtration and circulation systems, a revolutionary modular sump system and a one-plug control panel.

Advanced LED Lighting system with integrated WiFi
The MAX® E – Series incorporate the all-new Hydra 26™ HD LED lighting, providing the most up to date LED technology to give superb performance and a remarkably user-friendly interface.

The Hydra 26™ HD unit offers a full spectrum, 7 colour LED configuration giving great colour rendition and a multitude of lighting effects.



The revolutionary control system dynamically adjusts the power available to each colour by utilizing power not being used by other colours, effectively enabling selected channels to be ‘boosted’ to above 100% output. The lighting is fully controllable via a built-in WiFi which is compatible with iOS and Android devices and with any WiFi-enabled Mac or PC.



At only 90w power consumption per Hydra 26™HD, the MAX® E achieves excellent performance at a fraction of the running costs of using traditional T5 Fluorescent lighting. The LED unit is firmly bolted to the aquarium and can be rotated to give easy access to the rear sump for all of the regular maintenance requirements or for reefscaping.



The MAX® E-170 reef aquarium system uses a single 90W 26HD LED unit while the MAX® E-260 reef aquarium system has 2 units that are seamlessly paired together by the Wi-Fi controller.

Hi Glenn,

I was in H2O a couple of weeks ago and had a chat with Jon and Rachel who own the shop. This is a Red Sea upgrade for the S Series. When I ordered from my regular LFS, who I bought the tank from, the manager Theo said Red Sea had started development of their own LEDs but had decided to go with the AI Hydras. For the S Series Red Sea have built a hood/lighting rig to house the LEDs and to fit in with the aesthetic of the tank. So AI lights but wrapped up in Red Sea packaging is my understanding.

Dave

This is only for E and S, correct?

That was a good video!

Currently we only have plans for LED options on Max S & E systems, we continue to evaluate all other options.

This means no LED upgrades for max 130 and 250 burn!!
