This is where Red Sea are going wrong. It's the small things. The new Skimmers don't fit their supplied sumps very well. The new ReefLED's don't fit the existing light fixture.....and of course, no fold-up step supplied. If Red Sea expect people to pay top-whack for their products then they have to up their game.They are

I am with you, I believe Red Sea as everyone else is trying to make as many products as they can but when you put a Max S-series tank together they need to recognize their limitations specially in the skimmers.Couldn't agree more tbh, all seems a bit of a mish-mash for the latest version of the max series - what's a stool cost - to them £1-£2?, redesign the light fixture to accommodate the new reef leds, only needs to have the internal tracks a little closer together and the side profile a little higher to hide the light. The sump is the most disappointing, their new skimmer doesn't fit the skimmer compartment, all the had to do was remove the little glass strips they originally put there for the c-skim to sit on and it would fit. Just seems a little rushed to release the newest version which is disappointing seeing as we pay top dollar for Red Sea products. Don't get me wrong, overall I'm still super happy with it, just seems some of the things that set them aside from everyone else have fallen by the wayside
To address everyone's concerns lol:
When you consider how much we spend on fish, corals, equipment, running costs, test kits, the list goes on and on, £400 is not that expensive : Couldn't agree more
Red Sea nest are not good so you are better with yours: thanks Pancho
Is it easy to lift on/off?: easy enough, I assume no harder than any other form of cover
Also, why are the light units not flush in the lighting unit?: It is the same light bracket you have I believe - the red sea lights come with an adaptor plate that span the width of the bracket and the red sea light then sits on top of these (without the adaptor the light would fall though the bracket) The angle of the pic makes it look like they sit higher than they do, but they are certainly higher than the lighting bracket
Since were being picky your rear overflow chamber lid is lifted up: Its sat ontop of the cover - the cover extends all the way back over the rear chamber - I just put my cover there out of the way
And can you put your soup bowl and spoon in the dishwasher: Its a home brew mixing spoon and a small plastic cup (the cups for mixing frozen with water etc, the spoon so reach the bottom of the tank lol
it looks untidy there: I concur - I have already removed them
I always take a shower and put a suit on before taking pictures of the tank. You never know if you're going to appear in the reflection.haha that's some funny stuff right there! I guess you need to prep your tank before taking a picture next time lol
But only rookies show up in the reflection. Everybody knows that!I always take a shower and put a suit on before taking pictures of the tank. You never know if you're going to appear in the reflection.
I think at this time for me is my Flame Angel, he swims in all the tank and has very different colors than the rest of its tank mates. BTW you are quickly increasing the your tank population!So todays problem, some of the glue on my flipper max has squidged out and when I cleaned my glass its smeared all over the outside :/ - I used nopox to clean the adhesive off the glass haha
