thanks for all the great feedback! That's shocking about the chiller. I have a JBJ too. Excellent pearl, might be worth a stickie!

My RSM 250 is 1 year old now ( woohoo!) , the right pump is connected to a chiller using clear vinyl tubing. Actually everything is the same, also to the pumps, with 2 hose clamps on each end. I was told to change the tubing once a year to prevent disasters, at the same time disassemble and...

Correction! I looked up blue eyed acropora crab, and found posts that say it's the worst crab ever for acros! It eats the polyps at the base and leavesa path of destruction , and I thought it was a good one. Apparently it is a blue eyed teddy crab. If it is hairy, it is bad I stand to be...

I thought acro crabs are considered symbiotic and might even keep AEFW in check I need to know because I have a a couple of acros with these little crabs, look like they are totally made for the specific corals, one is on a blue acro even has blue eyes on it

This might be a stupid question, but has anybody tried to alter the fliptop on the 250? It looks like a wasted area, I never use it to put my testing equipment on it. With my 2 left hands I probably will knock it in the tank. But has anybody cut out the bottom, put an automatic feeder in...

Originally posted by Gary Majchrzak anecdotal evidence would seem to indicate mollusks being sensitive to elevated levels of Mg... I can probably attest to elevated Mag levels and their effects better than most here. As I pointed out earlier, I had an accidental overdose to the tune of...

Hey John, you are not getting a Lifereef for your nano?

Thanks, Glenn! That was very heeelpful! You are such a library of information, that thread was from 2010, so that question has been raised by other people, still don't know what it does to the SPS

I have a bryopsis problems for months. It seems the only way to take careof it is manually remove it weekly. I have been reading up on it, and one of the recs is to increase your magnesium level to 1600 or higher. I have been gradually adding more and more Mg to the tank without results...

Beautiful stand! Are you enclosing the the bottom / add doors or leave it like it is?

How do you pop the hood open to access the fans, in case I need to replace them?

congrats! My RSM 250 is now 9 months old. Happy modding!

I am going to stick my neck out, but I bet your camera is not a Kodak Brownie
