Hi everyone
I'm new here. I just picked up a red sea max-c 250 tank only with no cabinet, hood or other gear.
I was planning on running a custom build with sump but my custom build fell over and I couldn't pass up this tank which coincidentally is the right size for my cabinet. So I already have everything sump, skimmer, pumps, reactor ready to go for a sumped tank. I'm trying to decide now if I should drill the Max-C 250 and run the sump or sell and repurchase different equipment and modify some bits to run the built in sump behind. That is an attractive proposition because I need to modify the cabinet I have to fit the sump anyway, and using the C250 without drilling it avoids that.
So owners of red sea max... What would you do? Do you find it is perfectly fine running the max built in sump or would you drill and sump if you had the chance?
Is anyone running a biopellet reactor in their max built in sump? I can make it fit with some minor trimming to the reactor.
Are all of the pumps skimmer etc. Running with no hood going to be noisy?
