The Red Sea MAX E 260 Upgrade Kit enhances your aquarium by converting its rear sump into a fully equipped in-cabinet sump system.

With increased water volume, advanced filtration, and a streamlined design, maintaining a healthy reef has never been easier.

Why Upgrade Your Red Sea MAX E 260?

Think of this upgrade as a game-changer for reefing. Instead of dealing with limited filtration and fluctuating water conditions, this sump conversion allows you to: Increase Water Volume – More water means more stability, making it easier to maintain ideal salinity and temperature. Enhance Filtration – The extra sump space lets you add better filtration media, reducing excess nutrients and keeping algae in check. Reduce Maintenance – Less manual cleaning, fewer water changes, and a more automated system. Create a Healthier Reef Environment – A stable tank means happier fish and thriving corals.

What’s Inside the MAX E 260 Upgrade Kit?

Custom-Built Glass Sump

No flimsy plastic here—this sturdy, high-quality sump is tailor-made for the MAX E 260. It includes:

• A Dedicated Skimmer Chamber – Keeps your skimmer operating at peak performance.
• A Flow-Regulated Overflow System – Prevents microbubbles and noise while ensuring steady water circulation.
• Built-In Auto Top-Off (ATO) – No more daily topping off—this system compensates for evaporation automatically.

DC Return Pump: Quiet, Efficient, and Adjustable

Nobody likes the constant hum of a noisy pump. This DC return pump runs whisper-quiet while giving you the power to fine-tune flow rates for optimal performance. Whether you're running a high-flow SPS-dominant reef or a slower-flow mixed tank, this pump keeps things moving without the racket.

Protein Skimmer for Crystal-Clear Water

If you’ve ever dealt with cloudy water or nuisance algae, you know how important it is to remove organic waste before it breaks down. This kit includes a high-performance protein skimmer that pulls gunk straight out of the water before it has a chance to cause problems. Cleaner water = healthier reef.

Modular design – Everything fits right into your existing MAX E 260 cabinet. Durable construction – Built to last for years of hassle-free performance.
