Description
The Red Sea REEF-FRAME MAX series takes the ultra-durable, eurobraced foundation of the standard REEF-FRAME line and elevates it into a fully integrated, Plug & Play smart reef system.
Instead of sourcing individual components, every REEF-FRAME MAX comes pre-equipped with Red Sea’s full suite of ReefBeat app-controlled hardware—including ReefLED G2 lighting, ReefWave gyre pumps, ReefRun DC return pumps, REEFER DC Skimmers, ReefMat automatic roller filters, and the ReefATO+ top-off system.
What’s Included in the REEF-FRAME MAX Ecosystem?
Every REEF-FRAME MAX system connects seamlessly through the Red Sea ReefBeat App for centralized monitoring, scheduling, and notifications:
- ReefLED G2 Smart Lighting: Equipped with custom mounting arms. Offers REEF-SPEC spectrum tuned for maximum coral color and growth, a 23,000K blue channel, UV/violet LED arrays, and dedicated 3W moonlight.
- ReefWave Gyre Circulation Pumps: Cross-flow technology delivering uniform, customizable water movement with silent sine-wave motor operation.
- ReefRun DC Variable Speed Return Pump & Controller: Whisper-quiet, energy-efficient circulation with app-controlled flow rates, feed modes, and safety alerts.
- REEFER DC Skimmer: Self-leveling smart skimmer featuring PSK DC pump technology, high-precision foam sensor, and automated neck cleaning alerts to eliminate skim-over.
- ReefMat Automatic Fleece Roller: Plug & Play fleece roller filter replacing traditional filter socks for crystal-clear water with automated roll tracking.
- ReefATO+ System: 3-in-1 auto top-off system featuring solid-state water level sensors, digital temperature monitoring, and an external leak detector.
