Hi everyone Having had the MC500 for a few months I'm still struggling to get to grips with the adjustable weir plate. I have had some decent skim and some of the stuff bloody STINKS! However, I am a little confused by the adjustable weir plate and hpw that can help improve the skim. My...

Hi all I am desperate to change my hood fans in my RSM 250 and could do with a little help and advice. I need to know what fans to purchase, from where and what size. Sorry to ask so much, not to best when it comes to stuff like this. Thank you

I finally managed to get my hands on the Deltec MC500 and could do with a bit of assistance in setting it up. I've got the thing in and running, but I've been advised the water level should be on the fourth or fifth bar down on the RSM's water level bar on the side of the tank. Thing is, I've...

Hi all The 250 is coming along nicely and I'm actually quite happy with the performance of the skimmer. However, when I feed my fish I get the worst case of micro bubbles ever. The bloody things are everywhere. Anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks for the link and advice. Spoken to Glenn via another thread and just going order a new unit instead. Hopefully it will help reduce some of the heat. Tempted to buy a separate power supply for it as well.

You don't happen to know what power supply they run from do you?

Will be the 250 version I need. I'm also slightly worried that there may be an issue with the power supply. Could I run the water cooling fans from a power supply?

Hi all The fans on the back on my RSM250 aren't working. I've taken them out and noticed it looks as if water has gotten to them. One of the cables to the back of the fans was out, so no surprise on that one, but is there anyway to tell if I will need to replace the whole fan unit, or will I...

Hi Glenn, cheers for the links! Had a read through and it doesn't seem like it will be a problem, however, if I close the front of my hood I'm worried that the temp will go up even more. Really need to get those back fans working and checking what the temp is then. I really think I'm going to...

Hi all Since setting up my RSM250 a few weeks ago I've had an over heating problem. The tank runs at around 27 when lights off to about 28.2 - 29.2 when the lights are on. This also requires I leave the first part of the hood open and I've also put some RO ice blocks in for ensure it doesn't...

Hi all Thanks for the advice. Kev: Spoke to you earlier this week. Someone from another forum has given me another pump to go on whilst I get that one sent back to you. andrew.daviespr@googlemail.com was the email I used to email you. All: Agree the noise issue is subjective. It doesn't...

Sorry to hijack the thread, but how loud was the MC500? A few people have said this is also fairly loud.

Hi all After much messing around I have finally got my RSM250 filled up and running. I was aware of noise issues with both RSM tanks (having had the 130D previous) but the noise from my RSM 250 skimmer is unreal! It sounds like a generator running my my front room. The pump is the sicce...

Hi all thanks for the tips. I'll buy a big bottle of vinegar today and get it soaking. What is the best way to remove the propeller?

hi all after a while caring for the 130d and a year busy last year and a half I've moved to London and purchased a RSM250. With my 2nd hand 250 I got two skimmer pumps? 1 hydor and 1 sicco. unfortunately both appear not to be working. is there any typical faults with the pumps? they...

I haven't had the pressure on anywhere near full which is why I'm so concerned. The unit is actually leaking around the point where the RO water is meant to come out, almost as it the housing is cracked. I'm going to call the supplier today and see what they say but it is very strange and also a...

To make matters worse my bathroom now smells like garlic and onion. Is this normal?

I need some serious help on this one! Purchased the Tunze Nano RO unit yesterday and got it fitted to my tap. However, I have turned the tap on and the unit is leaking like mad. I don't know what's going on but if I turn the tap down it doesn't produce anything, it just leaks, turned right...
