Once the pump is lifting water back up through the display's plumbing, actual flow will be noticeably lower than the headline figure, as it is with any centrifugal pump. Red Sea has not published a full head-versus-flow curve for the pump fitted to this system; if that figure matters for your stocking plan, contact us and we'll follow it up with Red Sea before you order. The same caveat applies to the ReefLED G2 60: Red Sea has not published a PAR-at-depth chart specific to this fixture on their public specification pages, so we haven't stated PAR figures here rather than estimate them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for reef keepers who want a pre-plumbed, filtered nano system with room to stock and scape beyond the standard MAX Nano, and who are comfortable adding their own heater, cabinet and consumables. Not suitable as a freshwater setup — this is a marine reef system, and the included skimmer and lighting are specified for saltwater use. Not a plug-and-play delivery-day system — budget for a cabinet, heater and cycling time before livestock goes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a mains-powered aquarium system running a pump, lighting and (once added) a heater on or near water. Use a residual current device (RCD\/safety switch) on the circuit, keep all cabling in a drip loop below the outlet, and fit a thermostat-controlled heater rather than relying on the ATO or pump to regulate temperature — neither is a substitute for one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the 225 micron filter sock every few days — a clogged sock stops polishing the water and starts feeding nitrate back in as trapped waste breaks down. Replace the 100 g carbon charge on Red Sea's standard activated carbon interval (roughly monthly, or per the carbon's own packaging) to keep it adsorbing rather than just sitting inert. Check the gravity ATO reservoir regularly until you're confident in its refill pattern for your tank's evaporation rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty — 3 years as standard, extended to 5 years with product registration — in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. This is a large, boxed system item; get in touch before ordering if you need a delivery timeframe or want to arrange pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes this come with a cabinet?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This listing is the aquarium and its built-in equipment only. The matching MAX Nano XL G2 Cabinet is sold separately in black or white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes it include a heater?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Red Sea doesn't include a heater with any MAX Nano system — choose one sized to the roughly 125 L total volume and the gap between your room and target reef temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the standard MAX Nano?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XL G2 holds roughly 125 L total system volume against the standard MAX Nano's 75 L, giving more stocking and scaping room in a similar nano footprint. Both are pre-plumbed systems with built-in filtration, lighting and a return pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I add the ReefATO+ later?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — the rear sump is ReefATO+ and NanoMat ready, so both can be added after the fact without modifying the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs the 409 GPH pump rating what I'll actually get?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — 409 GPH is the pump's rating at zero head, in a bucket. Once it's lifting water through the display's own plumbing, expect a noticeably lower real-world flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe matching MAX Nano XL G2 Cabinet (black or white) completes the system. Add a thermostat-controlled heater sized to roughly 125 L, and the ReefATO+ or NanoMat upgrades when you're ready to automate top-off or extend filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RedSea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774158131491,"sku":"RED595","price":1700.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/red-sea-max-nano-xl-g2-excl-43876683907363.webp?v=1790239295","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/red-sea-max-nano-xl-g2-excl-cabinet","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
