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?

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 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 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 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 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...

Hello all Having a close look at these units and wanted some feedback from anyone who may have horror stories or good experience with these lights. Maxspect Aquarium Programmable LED Lighting Looking at the G2 110W model. Regards

Just came across this LED unit from Fish Street. Seems the Nano version will fit into the 130D where the stock lighting is. 3watt Cree LEDs are used in this unit so no reason why SPS shouldn't be within reach. Key Aquarium LED Lighting Europe Version Views anyone?

It has long been my search for a perfect lighting set up. One that fits the RSM hood whilst also providing sufficient light for SPS corals. I like my current lighting set up but feel if I can give the corals better light then why not. I posted on another forum (traitor) and a few people got...

Hi all I have recently noticed following the death of two SPS frags that my PH is a little on the low side. Infact, too low to keep SPS or keep them happy for a long time. I was thinking of buffering my PH but don't know really how to do it. Yes I can easily buy a PH buffer but do I just...

Hi all Have a lovely specimen of Pectinia at my LFS, can anyone shed any light on these? Are they a difficult SPS to keep? From what I've read so far I hear mixed reviews but leaning towards difficult. Regards

Hi all Has anyone ever produced a coral compatibility chart for corals? Just reading up on SPS as I dive further into the world of SPS and noticed most people are saying that SPS and softies is a no no. I have an extremely large colony of star polyps and also some pulsing xenia which I'm...

Hi all I am trying to get some magnets to set up my auto top up in my RSM. Do you have to have special magnets for saltwater tanks? Regards

Hi everyone It's been quite a while since I last posted any updates of my tank, but one is coming! As far as upgrades are concerned, I've recently added the Tunze 9002, InTank media rack, Vortech MP10 ES and another aquaray. I must say, out of all the extra equipment the one I would...

Hi all So I'm starting to believe that my lovely fungia may be on its way out. Its skeleton is now showing but I've noticed my salt is a little high so reducing it tonight to see if it can be saved. Saw a thread on another website that questions whether to leave the fungia in or not, due...

Hi all My lovely fungia has started to recede starting with the centre (mouth) and going out. Started around a week ago and doesn't seem to be slowing down. I've had it for around three months and has fed well the whole time. It is around 5-6 inches in diameter and used to eat every other...

Hello all Just got a Vortech MP10 ES. All was well and then I noticed the light had changed to an all red light. I tried to change through the modes and all I can get is two red light in between one yellow and one green. Very weird. I have read another forum where it says it is an upgrade...
