I usually move the live stock myself and pay removalists to move the tank. It is at least one less thing to worry about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most people replace it with a Tunze 9002 or aquamarine turboflotor blue 500. I have the blur 500 and recommend. Cheap, silent and works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am wondering which one more suitable for a RSM130, a Jebao WP-10 or WP-25. Any clues?

Hi guys, Does anyone know the exact dimensions of a rsm130 media rack? I would like to design and 3D print one. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have already tried CLR, Lime away, thoothpaste and steel wool and even a high speed rotatory machine. None of them made a dent in the mineral deposits, apart from the rotatory tool, which gave me some new and very ugly scratches. I have already removed mineral deposits with vinegar ages ago...

Razor blade didn't do anything either. It is big stain of a very thin layer of mineral deposits.

I believe the scratches could easily be buffed out. Actually, the real problem are the mineral deposits. I have tried every single chemical products I could find in the forums out there and none has even made a dent on them, Vinegar, CLR, Peroxide, etc. This tank was kept empty in the garage...

Hi everyone, I am a bit upset with the number of scratches and a lot of mineral deposits on the glass of my RSM130 and I thought about replacing it a number of times. As you know, it is curved glass which makes it quite difficult to replace with anything that is not the original glass. I...

I have got a 3D printer for over an year now and every now and then I print something for my reef. Don't be fooled, yes it is a nice and exciting hobby, but it is also challenging. Getting something designed and printed successfully can be as complex as keeping a reef. If your planning to...

Hi Konyak, would you mind to share the sketch files of the baskets? I would like to try to slice it and 3D print it. I have been thinking about designing something very similar, but focused on a bio pellets socket in addition to the purigen socket.

Yes, it is possible, but not an easy task. You would have to open up the hood and wire the cooling fan to the hood fans wiring. Alternatively you can buy another timer and save you some hassle.

I have seen dozens of Elegance corals dying in the last 10 years, until I moved to Australia and had such a good surprise. The Ozzy ones are tough just like hammer heads.

If you need to replace them have a look on my posts, I managed to find a cheap clone on eBay for $17.

I have experienced all the pain you described above and yet I love my rsm 130. For a beginner or lazy guy it is a quick way to start enjoying a reef system without the setup hassle. As the aquarists starts learning it will soon realize that pretty much every component can be replaced by...

In order to keep SPS I think you will have to make most of the mods you can find on the web. Definitely better lights, extra flow, better skimmer and precise temperature control. I have done all of these and I am keeping 4 SPS, 1 clam and heaps of LPS for about an year on my 130.

I think you could make better use of that big rock if you drill it and break it into small pieces. It will create caves for the fishes and be more flexible to play with the aquascaping. Also, it seems your rocks were dead when you first started. Try adding a small live rock from a cycled...

I am sorry for your loss. I think the lesson learned is to always keep redundant equipment, at least one pump connected straight to the power source. I tend to keep a backup heater set to 24C, as well. It could have been a lot worse. I lost two full tanks in the last ten years, for not having a...

I absolutely loved the way you positioned the corals, with not may rocks and leaving space for the SPSs to grow. The back wall filled with corals is also a great idea. Congrats.

I don't know about the Epoxy causing micro-bubbles, but this is Red Sea's guide on Micro bubbles. Red Sea MAX | Support ? product support information, user manual downloads http://www.redseamax.com/redseamax/downloads/MAX_microbubble_diagnostic.pdf

+1 for no mechanical filtration at all, with no problems after 6 months. Just a good skimmer (Turboflotor 500) and 20l water changes every week. However, I am planning to play with Purigen and CPE just to see if I get any benefits.
