The included digital ATO module automatically replenishes evaporated freshwater and incorporates a level and temperature sensor.

Premium Ultra-Clear Glass & Reinforced Construction

The REEF-FRAME MAX 170 features 10mm front and bottom glass, 12mm side glass, and 8mm rear glass.

High-quality euro-silicone bonding and reinforced eurobracing provide structural strength while preserving the aquarium's clean, modern appearance.

Extra-Fortified Cabinet – Black, White & New Classic Oak

The REEF-FRAME MAX 170 includes a reinforced marine-spec plywood cabinet designed to support the full contour of the aquarium.

Adjustable leveling feet provide precise installation, while stainless steel hinges offer durability and convenient access.

Black: A sophisticated, modern finish that emphasizes the vibrant colors of the reef.

White: A bright, contemporary finish well suited for coastal homes and light interiors.

Classic Oak – New: A warm, natural wood-inspired finish that gives the aquarium a furniture-like appearance and complements wood floors, neutral colors, and natural interior materials.

All three options feature the same cabinet construction and equipment compatibility.

Advanced ReefGate Plumbing

The included ReefGate precision valve allows fine adjustments to drainage for near-silent operation.

Hydrodynamically designed plumbing improves circulation efficiency, while the curved 25mm return outlet directs water into the display.

The central overflow features a removable surface-skimmer comb for convenient maintenance.

Complete Reef-Ready Equipment Package

ReefLED G2 115 Lighting

The included ReefLED G2 115 provides powerful coral-focused lighting with adjustable intensity, color settings, and schedules through ReefBeat.

A compatible mounting arm is included.

ReefWave 25 Circulation Pump

The ReefWave 25 delivers up to 1,980 GPH of broad cross-flow circulation.

Customizable flow patterns help distribute water throughout the display and reduce stagnant areas.

ReefRun G2 4000 Return Pump

The efficient DC-powered ReefRun G2 4000 provides adjustable flow of approximately 530–1,060 GPH.

Its variable-speed operation allows convenient adjustment of circulation between the aquarium and sump.

ReefMat 250 Automatic Roller Filter

The ReefMat 250 automatically advances its filter fleece to remove suspended waste and debris.

This reduces the need for frequent filter-sock maintenance and helps maintain consistent mechanical filtration.

REEFER DC 300 Protein Skimmer

The REEFER DC 300 efficiently removes dissolved organic waste from aquarium water.

Its self-leveling technology helps maintain stable skimming performance and reduce the risk of over-skimming.

Integrated Digital Automatic Top-Off

The ReefControl ATO module automatically replaces evaporated freshwater using its digital water-level and temperature sensor.

This helps maintain consistent salinity and simplifies daily aquarium maintenance.
