Hi everyone, sorry for my long time absence. But I now have a real dilemma about having to relocate my rsm 250 so my floors can be repaired. I was the unfortunate victim of a house fire back on June 3rd. Most of the damage is in the bathroom where it started, but my hardwoods suffered water...

Although I have only been at the hobby for a year...I thought it useful to share what I have learned along the way, and that maybe I can be of help to others just starting out. So here are some of my lessons learned.. 1. Equipment...you pretty much get what you pay for. If your serious at...

So yea...I have been having the dreaded microbubbles forever, but now they are out of control. Read all I could here, checked out the diagnostics chart and there is a definitive leak at the pump, skimmer inlet connection. I have emailed rsm, but didn't know if there was anything I could do in...

At the suggestions of new found friends in the RSM club, here is my new 250 setup...now 19 days old... And the journey begins

Just wanted to know if this is normal or not. Got my RSM 250 4-6. Built 4-7, with 60 lbs. CaribSea live sand. Live, "precured" rock, Fiji, arrived and installed on 4-9....90 lbs. of it. Who knows how the rock was cured, as the only sign of hitchikers I have found are a few feather dusters on...

New to the crowd here, and looking forward to learning a lot. Expecting my Red Sea max 250 soon...yep...thats where the tax refund went! Have always wanted a marine aquarium and have spent tons of hours online learning what I can. Hoping to gain so much from here, and maybe make a friend or...
