Premium Ultra-Clear Glass & Reinforced Construction
The REEF-FRAME MAX 500 features a beautiful ultra-clear glass display designed to showcase vibrant fish, corals, and elaborate aquascaping.
All four vertical panels and the bottom use 15mm (0.59") glass bonded with high-quality euro-silicone.
Reinforced eurobracing provides exceptional structural support while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance.
With nearly five feet of display length, the aquarium offers generous room for elaborate reef structures, open swimming areas, and expansive coral colonies.
Extra-Fortified Cabinet – Black, White & New Classic Oak
The REEF-FRAME MAX 500 includes a premium marine-spec plywood cabinet designed to support the full contour of the aquarium.
The reinforced cabinet features adjustable leveling feet for precise installation and stainless steel hinges for durable access to equipment.
Three available finishes allow the aquarium to complement different interior styles.
Black Cabinet
A sophisticated, contemporary finish that creates a dramatic contrast with the vibrant colors of the reef.
White Cabinet
A bright, clean finish that blends beautifully with coastal homes, modern living spaces, and light-colored interiors.
Classic Oak Cabinet – New
The new Classic Oak finish introduces the natural warmth and appearance of wood into the REEF-FRAME series.
This furniture-inspired finish is particularly attractive in living rooms, offices, and spaces with wood flooring or natural design elements.
Its warm appearance creates a more residential, integrated look while retaining the same reinforced marine-spec plywood construction as the Black and White options.
All three cabinet finishes provide identical structural performance and equipment compatibility.
Advanced ReefGate Plumbing
The REEF-FRAME MAX 500 incorporates Red Sea's hydrodynamically designed plumbing system.
Enlarged downflow pipes and the ReefGate precision valve help maintain smooth, quiet drainage with accurate flow adjustment.
Two curved 25mm return outlets distribute water into the display.
The plumbing supports single or dual return-pump configurations, while the central overflow incorporates removable surface-skimmer comb sections for easy maintenance.
Complete Reef-Ready Equipment Package
ReefLED G2 115 Lighting – 3 Included
Three Red Sea ReefLED G2 115 fixtures provide powerful coral-focused lighting across the spacious display.
These ReefBeat-compatible fixtures allow customizable intensity, spectrum settings, and lighting schedules.
Three compatible mounting arms are included.
ReefWave 45 Circulation Pumps – 2 Included
Two ReefWave 45 pumps provide broad, powerful cross-flow circulation throughout the aquarium.
Each pump delivers up to approximately 3,960 GPH, with customizable flow patterns that help distribute water around rockwork and corals while reducing stagnant areas.
The adjustable circulation is especially valuable in larger reef displays where consistent water movement is important.
ReefRun G2 8000 Return Pump
The DC-powered ReefRun G2 8000 provides adjustable return flow from approximately 1,080 to 2,200 GPH.
Its variable-speed design allows reefkeepers to fine-tune water circulation between the sump and display.
ReefMat 1200 Automatic Roller Filter
The included ReefMat 1200 automatically advances its filter fleece to remove suspended waste and debris from aquarium water.
This reduces routine mechanical filtration maintenance while helping maintain consistently clear water.
Its large-capacity design is particularly well suited for a substantial reef aquarium.
REEFER DC 600 Protein Skimmer
The included REEFER DC 600 removes dissolved organic waste before it breaks down in aquarium water.
Featuring approximately 396 GPH water flow and 198 GPH air flow, the skimmer provides effective organic waste removal and aeration.
Its self-leveling technology helps maintain stable skimming performance and reduce the risk of excessive skimming.
Integrated Digital Automatic Top-Off
The included ReefControl ATO module automatically replenishes evaporated freshwater.
Its digital water-level and temperature sensor helps maintain consistent salinity while providing additional aquarium monitoring through the ReefBeat ecosystem.
Versatile REEF-SPEC Sump
The included 29.3-gallon REEF-SPEC sump provides a spacious foundation for the aquarium's filtration equipment.
Features include:
-
ReefMat-ready mechanical filtration chamber
-
Adjustable protein skimmer chamber
-
Integrated bubble trap
-
Optional refugium divider
-
Flexible space for additional compatible equipment
