Red Sea Max pt1: Setup & Advanced Aquascaping

The first video in our new series on the Red Sea Max E170 plug & play reef aquarium. We go over the basic setup and then show you an advanced aqua-scaping technique using Real Reef Rock.

[@CJSAQUARIUMS]

man he made that look a lot harder than it should have been... could have accomplished the same look with med sized pieces... Turned out very nice no doubt. Biggest takeaway was using Putty to create Feet to balance the structure on the bottom after adding to the tank...#priceless tip. Looking forward to the 800 Gallon update! keep doing what you do!

[@unleashdogscom]

CJ'S AQUARIUMS check out e marco 400, cannot reccomend it enough

[@masiehmitra8273]

and if you push/tap a small piece of live rock on surface of those putties, you will get a more realistic surface on them too

[@chrisgroves5381]

CJ'S AQUARIUMS this is sending me to sleep haha x

[@Redseafish]

We're looking forward to seeing the next video :)

[@ldballoon4]

Awesome!, Elliot got the eye! He, sir, is the Michael Angelo of aqua-scaping. Hands down.

[@collettdave]

Elliot won't have an eye if he doesn't wear safety goggles when chiseling the rock!!!

[@cruzr8887]

The most appealing nano aquascape on youtube imo, I've searched and watched all of the nano scapes - after watching this, and Elliot's work is by far the best(as in nano rock foundation). The random rock shelfs make it look rather exotic. Hoping to see the new vid asap! I'm looking forward seeing where you strategically place the corals. This video inspired me to make a nano myself(beginner). Good job guys I've watched and learned a lot from your videos. Thumbs up from Toronto, Canada

Looking great. Love the shelves. Wish I had the patients and vision to play with rocks for hours lol.

[@MyFirstFishTank]

Thanks for making this video. My one regret with my tank is that I did not do a fixed aquascape. My next tank will be different, and I plan on spending many, many hours doing this! Thanks again!

[@brentvangorkom8924]

thanks for this video, probably one of the best clips i have seen about how to create nice looking aquascaping

[@ScottM]

looking forward to the new build. Elliott did a very nice job with the scape.

[@migs671]

Finally a long video One of the best videos yet

[@FriendM2010]

It’s a dog standing on two rocks 👍👍👍

[@PSCThrillSeeker]

Hey, David wish I could build a stand that quickly! LOL Awesome video on Aquascaping! Been watching you over the past 2 years and your videos never disappoint. Outstanding and informative! Looking forward to more videos from you and Vivid Aquariums!

[@GameOver-ge2hr]

amazing to see that no one is bothered by the crazy quility of chilic product used !!

[@markushohle8797]

love watching your Videos and the aquascape is much better than the previouse reefer😅

[@shockdude]

Really interested in the Red Sea Max, can't wait till you upload pt 2, 3, +

[@dickaldor]

Great video, nice work on the Aqua Scape!

[@RussMcCord]

Great tips and enjoy Elliot's scape skills😀👍

[@SamB-fv6su]

Nice tank - thanks for showing us !

[@tomcat9432]

Hey Dave, when we can see the next video to this series? I got a Reefer Deluxe as well. Cannot wait! 😀

[@dhender02]

I'm getting a Max 170 Deluxe in a few weeks.. can't wait to see the next video, so I can follow along...

[@syte_y]

Elliot was early. This is how modern aquascaping is done. I hate the boulder look which is typically what you end up with if you don’t break the rocks. Nice job!

[@markbrown7968]

Good idea! I'm thinking about my aquascape now. I knew I needed to break em up. Now i know how to reshape them. Thanks for the vid.

[@jodia7435]

Excellent job!!

[@gbj6581]

Why no more vids n updates??

[@gewglesux]

A spam Lamb!! Good job man! love it..

[@jacksond9309]

Would love to see the next video with the sump addition!

[@AlxJrz401]

fantastic! thanks for the upload!!!

[@blackcoalboy]

Hi Question please very new to the world of aquatics, Could I put these rocks in a fresh water tank, Thanks

[@airtripko]

I like it, good work.

[@PaulieWalnutss]

Super glue gel is all the same Tip: Go to the Dollar store get 2 small tubes for a buck I buy them buy the box great for fragging etc

[@feedthatreefaddiction1508]

Awesome lookin scape!

[@BoY860]

How do people frag corals say on the bottom rocks of display tanks? Been searching for answers for a while, my thing is if I have a rank fully stocked doesnt make sense for me to remove every rock in my tank to frag corals at the bottom.

[@chrish2685]

Elliot needs to invest in a 115mm diamond blade grinder,this will avoid a ton of wasted rubble and save on 10 tubes of glue!

[@roypdxful]

That's what I use, and a hammer drill to drill holes and insert acrylic rods to connect pieces.

[@swissreefer]

hope pt2 is in the making :)

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

great video

[@lilreefer6986]

I’ve been sitting here for 2 yrs

[@brennanhoward3170]

How many pounds of rock did you start with? Also I know real reef comes damp, would I have to worry about it drying out and killing all the bacteria?

[@neilljansenvanvuuren9025]

Awesome vid, Tank looks great...when is the next vid coming out, it's been forever

[@PureSwank]

breaks big rock......proceeds to build big rock. lol

[@TonyJibster]

Very informative, thanks! Now I want to redo my scape :-)

[@MaccaWelland36]

Wow. Epic scape! When is vid2 coming? Interested in your thoughts on the e series.

[@kayjoe7237]

Hey Dave !!! More vids please.

[@pjfreak99]

So I'm guessing the tank sprung a leak or exploded or something....

[@djtrackie]

this video was from 7 months ago, where's part two guys?! You got a lot of fans

[@SupremeRobocop]

Please add the next video. I have this tank and follow this step by step.

[@XHamad123]

Nice setup. where is your previous red sea tank. Is this a replacement?

[@axxisification]

Nice Aquascape, when is the next part coming?

[@MegaGIANNIS2000]

perfect fill it with sps only!!!

[@robertopeixinho3584]

Hello . Can you give me the names of the products you used to glue the rocks and the names of the rocks? thanks

[@philmccoy2483]

amazing scape well done elliot 👍

[@Ray-wr2wr]

can you do aquascape while rocks are wet/live ?

[@sagewon1]

Where is part 2? Please don't take forever to load the video..

[@hakunamatata289]

This is some A 1 fuckery... Pt2 coming soon In a theater near u...

[@MODIT]

Would be cool for a vendor like Vivid to attempt a BB nano like this.

[@Yoshukaitony]

hi can you tell what brand of glue did you use and puddy too

[@MaccaWelland36]

Any updates on the e-170?! Can't wait to see that scape wet!! 👍🏼

[@bcribdog]

Nice!

[@clauderenault4858]

Bonjour vous avez le nom du tube de colle et du spray cela m’intéresse merci

[@jonnymbuna]

part 2? im turning bald waiting haha

[@unleashdogscom]

why not just use e-marco 400? you would be able to pull that entire structure out easily in a single piece and build a strong base.

[@TheNeuel]

It's 2020! When's part 2 coming?

[@damonb3407]

i wish i had elliots skill! and where can i get that putty?

[@geraldzhang5905]

Could you provide a product link to the "putty" ?

[@jackocello9447]

What was that he showed how to break a rock and glue it back together

[@canvoodoo]

Use Stone Fix by Aquaforest so much easier.

[@oregonic5035]

Where is the next video????

[@markhall3440]

When's video pt2 coming 👍

[@FenderSchonJPX]

Ummm, did somebody accidentally knock that tank over and shatter it into a million pieces?

[@Helveteshit]

Any quarantine process on those rocks since they were live ones?

[@VividAquariums]

This was done with Real Reef Rock which is a synthetic man made reef rock. They were dry so there is nothing we need to QT.

[@chaszrainsford]

What are you doing with the other Reefer 170? Are you willing to sell it at a discount?

[@VividAquariums]

It sold already

[@googIereallysucks]

Where's the videos? It's been 3 month since the last video.

[@karielyRotima]

Hello, so any updates on this tank ? Thank you

[@applehoe2592]

[@lawiez]

[@OverPoweredAlex]

Amazing where did you get the rock from ? or name of it?

[@javiersoto3984]

I believe they use real reef rock for this tank. Its what i used on my Reefer 350 and i purchased it through Vivid.
