Bringing a redsea max 130D back to life!

Kammetal · Dec 3, 2018

Hello I picked up a 130 d. I removed the lid and plan to hang one of my hydra 26hds over it for my first upgrade. I also want to upgrade the pump to a controllable dc pump. I found this on marine depots site just wondering if it will fit? https://www.marinedepot.com/MightyJ...ps-Innova...ZT-vi.html

Also the return nozzle is stripped. I know you can buy the upgrade kit and get a new nozzle and pump. Is there anyway to just get the nozzles. Or can I find another attachment to go into the holes(locline etc...)

Been doing some mods
1st remove the hood as I will be installing a AI hydra 26 hd
Remove the skimmer
Installed a innovative marine controllable dc pump

Added a live rock foam wall

This is from my 120

Looking good, maybe give Red Sea a call and see if they can sell you just the nozzle.

What are your stocking plans?

I wanted one for my RSM250 but they stopped making them.

Very cool! Probably would not do it myself, but you made it work very well.

Yup did it forgot to mention they sent me the part bad news is the chamber for the return is not big enough for the pump to fit. I moved it to the main chamber and plan on hard plumbing a return. Maybe I can make the original pump chamber a small refugium or heater chamber
