    Is 1 kessil 360we for RSM 250 enough?

    Just upgraded from a RSM 130 to a RSM 250. I had been using a Kessil 360we over my 130, can I transfer it to my 250? I'm trying not to buy a different or another light if I don't have to. Will be running a reef tank, mostly softies, zoas, euphyllia, Yuma, blastos, acans etc. Not really into...

    rsm 130 rear sump question

    The rear sump of my RSM 130 is level with water across all chambers with no movement. My question is, behind the gate (1st chamber) shouldn't the water have a "Waterfall" effect dropping water down into the chamber from the display section of the tank? I have a Media rack set up behind the gate...

    rsm 130 rear & main tank water level

    I have the original Red Sea Max 130 (Not C or D). Has no side window to check water level. I have gone hoodless & keep the water level in the tank to the bottom of the black trim. My question is, for the water in the back of the unit, how high should it be? Mine is level with the tank water, is...

    Adjusting stock skimmer rsm 130. ANYBODY??

    I have read many people having the "Over flowing" issue like you had, but my issue is the opposite. I cant get the skimmer to skim up thru the neck and into the cup. Pumps are working and the tube is not kinked or clogged. The valve line sounds loud like a jet so it is sucking in air. My version...

    Original RSM 130 (not C or D) stock skimmer not skimming! This thing SUCKS wussup??! I know people just upgrade to a Tunze which is fine but I refuse to believe that red sea would put in a garbage skimmer that wont skim. Pumps are working, I can see bubbles being made up thru the skimmer, the...

    Tunze 9001 Skimmer RSM 130 installation

    Original RSM 130. Stock skimmer not doin anything! Bubbles are being made and are just not reaching into the cup. Valve all the way open and still no dice. Heard the way to go on replacement was with a Tunze 9001. Has anyone installed this without a media rack? Or is a media rack required...

    Where to attatch kessil gooseneck?

    Took the top off and have attached a Kessil gooseneck on the back of my RSM 130 next to the skimmer. I have it clamped to the plastic (not the tank) which is very thin and when I walk by the tank the kessil starts bouncing slightly. Is this a sturdy enough location? I know attaching it to the...

    Cant detach hood RSM130.

    I must have an older version RSM 130. I took the pins out the hinges and the hood is completely free except I have a problem... The timer is built in & hard wired to the hood & the other end of the timer cable is hard wired into the built in RSM power strip. This cable is not allowing me to take...

Suggestion on how to unplug so I can free the hood? RSM 130. Thanks Looks as if I have the original RSM130 where the...

    Skimmer not making its way into the cup RSM 130

    Thanks for the response! And yes you are correct, the top off must be the key for the skimmer. Yesterday I topped off all the way to the top and the skimmer started getting stronger. Still not into the cup but its at the verge, much closer than when the water was not to the tip top in the tank...
