All I have a Red Sea S-400 with 3 AI 26 lights in the canopy. Been reading that adding a Atinic can really help in low level of the tank. Any ideas how one might accomplish it. I was thinking of adding a reefbrite and basically Velcro to canopy.

All, I am looking to replace my existing lighting on my Red Sea Max S400. I presently have the hydra 26. I am debating between the new Red Sea ReefLed 90 and Hydra 32. I have not had any real issues with the 26 but from what I read there has been lots of improvement with the 32. Anybody have...

I have a well establish tank and all of the sudden the water is not clear. In addition, I have noticed on some of the LPS that there is film like material (clear transparent almost like lint) hanging off the coral. Coral look fine. I'm am in the middle of resolving a running away doing pump...

All, Purchased the new RS RSK-600 Reefer skimmer for my RSM S400. When I went to install I noticed that the old C Skim is sitting on a shelf. Per a responds for customer support I left the shelf in and placed the new Skimmer on top. The problem I am having is the water level isn't high enough...

Hello, I have the S400 Red Sea Max. Its been in service basically since you first released it and has been outstanding. Recently I seem to have having a recurring issue where the freshwater float appears to stop delivering water on demand. I change the float but the problem re-appeared. I...

New Problem, I have a RSM S400 been working flawlessly since June 2013. Lately I seem to be have a small issue with the level adjustment in the sump. It seem to fluctuate. The fresh water tank seems to be working fine (that was my first guess). Anyone has similar experience? Only idea/guess I...

Going to start a new tread on a issue I am having to see if others are having similar problems. About every 3 to 4 months my sump pump will not restart after I do a water change. I traced the problem to a dirty/gummed up Impeller. Once I replace the impeller the pump works as normal. Not...

Just received 5lb of Miracle mud and getting ready to add it to my Refugium. Looking for opinion on the product. My research indicates it does wonders but I am sure there are pro's and con's. I am also interest in know if anyone who uses it has turn off their skimmer. My intention is to place...

I just purchased the 200 GDP RO/DI by Aquatic life. Seems like a nice unit. Had some issues getting it to work but it now up and running. The one issue is that my total output of TDS is at 13-14 PPM not 0-1 PPM which is what I was expecting. My tap water is ~240 PPM and everything I read says...

Hello, I have two 130 RSM. One of the biggest maintenance issues I have is with the air intake for the Protein skimmer. Every few weeks I have to remove the skimmer and clean out the air intake as it is blocked with dried salt. This works about 3 or 4 times and finally the I have to replace...

Good Morning, I have two RSM 130 and I am looking at swapping them out for the new s400. Looks like a rock solid systems. One of my lesson learn over the years with RSM is to be prepared to change out virtually everything that comes in contact with salt on a somewhat regular basis. No...

I am sure there are dozen of threads on this topic but felt it was easier to just start a new one. I have two RSM 130 (one is a 130D). they have been up and running for years. The 130d has a constant problem with microbubbles. I have confirmed it coming from the protein skimmer. If I turn it...

I am running two RSM 130/130D. I have been running these tanks for 6 years without any major issues. I recently been having issues with the Power head not re-starting after I have turn them off during maintenance. In the past I have just swapped them out with new ones but that doesn't seem to...

I have a 35 RSM tank that has been up and running for over 5 years. The tank is doing very well. All of the parameters are within Norm. The only problem I have is the sand bed continues to accumulate algae. I do water changes every week, clean the sand bed and a week later it back. Doesn't...

I have a bubble coral. He has been in the tank for many years and always has done great until recently. For the last couple of weeks he has not open up hardly at all. All of my other Corals are doing great and I see no evidence of anyone bother him. My parameters have not changed and as a...

I have a small amount of red algae appearing in one corner of the tank. All of the levels are fine and I have not noticed any algae anywhere else. I do water changes once a week and gravel vacuum every week. After the water change it takes about 3 or 4 days and it back and in the morning it's...
