First off, my tank (RSM 250) is about three months old, and currently FOWLR. Recent water testing has shown my magnesium level dropping (it was 1080), as well as my calcium (380) - these used to be > 1250 and 450 respectively - my alk is OK, at 9.15. I was wondering, since I don't yet have any...

Attached are some pictures of my RSM 250 set-up. As of this weekend, I can finally say that it's complete (but then again, never say never). Thanks to all of you that answered questions I had, and for letting me steal your designs. My success is a result of this forum. Like a lot of you, I...

Hi all - I recently received my LifeReef pre-filter box (and sump) and I need to make a semi-circle cut-out in the skimmer panel to make it fit. Curious as to what tool anyone used to make this cut. I have a Dremel, but haven't used it much. Any specific Dremel bit or cutting wheel that might...

I set my RSM 250 up last week. Since my substrate was on order I only had s/w in it for about 5 days. During that time I had my skimmer on, with air in-take valve slightly open and the foam adjuster set to half-way. While I knew there wasn't anything to skim I thought it would be good to get...

Hi! I’m in the process of setting up my RSM 250. I just received my chiller and an external Iwaki pump. While the chiller/pump order was on it’s way, I decided to also order a LifeReef sump (Model A). In talking with Jeff, he said that his set-up came with two submersible pumps – one for the...

Hi everyone. I have a Max 250 on the way and am trying to understand the setup as much as possible prior to its arrival. That said, I had two questions: 1) I also ordered a VorTech Propeller Pump (Gen2) since it seemed like a popular addition to a lot of your setups. Is this pump being...
