My light fans are louder than my 1262! In fact the pump is barely audible.

My motto....Buy high, sell low!!! Sale pending.

It was doing fine, haven't been using it for about 6 weeks as I have been slowly tearing down the RSM. I was never able to use it with out the sponge in, and microbubbles were only a problem if I didn't turn it off for an hour or more after feeding. The tank parameters were very stable , no...

I just tried one on my grossly neglected planted tank, wish I had taken before and after shots. Amazing, I can now see into the tank again.

Upsizing to a 75g. The Max has gotten too crowded. I plan on turning it into a FW planted tank.

Taking down my tank. For sale: Euro Reef Nanno Skimmer for RSM 130 ( 2 pump version ). $65 + shipping.

I will never forgive the Peppermint shrimp from He-- that decimated a beautiful Torch coral with in minutes.. then attacked an acan, I was lucky to get it out before PS did too much damage. I will say it did devour the 5-7 Aptasias that I had origionally put it in the tank to do. I now use...

Thanks Terry, that is a beautiful tank. I'm not overly fond of reptiles, so the max will definately not become a home for one. I contacted StevieT and he sugggested using the media rack and making a box to hold bioballs from eggcrate. I like Tom's idea of using plastic screening, no gluing...

Hmmmmm...that has me thinking, I should contact StevieT, bet he could whip up some kind of mod for it.

+1 on the Dendros. -1 on the yellow polyps, pretty, but another fast grower that will quickly take over everything.

Just wondering if anyone is using their RSM for freshwater? I'm in the processess of moving into a 75g and don't wan't to keep another SW tank going. Have any ideas on what to do about filtration as a FW?:dunno:

It's too soon to tell if he will go for the inverts. They can be a difficult fish to keep, sort of like a Mandarin, but this one had been eating frozen mysis so i'm hopeful. If it would promise to eat peppermint shrimp I would gladly put one that's in another tank in for a meal, it's an LPS lover.

Thanks Terry, and thanks for spelling it correctly!!

I find it interesting the different combinations of fish we choose. As of today: 2 Percs, Fred and Ginger 1 PJ Cardinal, Spellman 1 Magenta Dottyback, Pinky 1 Priolopis Goby, Dash 1 Tangoroa Goby, Mr. T 1 Leapord Wrass, just arrived so no name

I recently bought a similar fixture on ebay for $65 new for a 20g tank. It's not the greatest craftsmanship, but I really like it. Doesn't have a brand name but looks very similar , has the same features. It came with SlimPac bulbs, but I don't plan on having any corals that need much light.
