    cleaning thefilter?

    ...*mutter* Non-conformists....:crowd: My take: Like to modify? Like to fiddle? Like to tinker? Go with components... Want to have a basic reef tank and be done with it? Plumbing-phobic? Scared by light wattage? Go with the RSM ...and yes...you HAVE to have R/O or distilled...

    Re: RSM 250 1 month into cycle No. It's a new model. RSM started with the 130, then the 'new and improved' 130d ...and the 250.
