Re: Glenn's new RSM 130D
Thanks everyone !
Yep bio-media out...
I started to take a pic of the cute little bag of bio-media I had, was 1/4 the size of a full bag & supper clean, but I sure won't miss digging in the cod & getting it out to rinse monthly
It was... my kind diy project

Re: Glenn's new RSM 130D
No I just used it as a "spacer" to get my CPE & Purigen off the bottom for better flow - my new mods does this... so my bio-media now out

Re: Glenn's new RSM 130D
Happy Tank-Day To Glenn...
So the mod you made - does the 130D have the media on the bottom in the back? And you put this mod in to get the media off the floor? So not something we'd use in the 250 I guess b/c the media is on a little rack in there? Sorry - just trying to make sure I understand Take care,

Re: Glenn's new RSM 130D
Thanks Everyone !!!
Kyle - yes... in the 130 & 130D the chemical filtration sits right on the bottom and then the flows gets cut down & the chemical filtration gets pushed to the side & then the flow bypasses the chemical filtration. The RSM 250 did address this weakness... in the 130/130D unless you built a rack or ran the bio-media to raise the chemical filtration (CPE - Purigen) you had a real weakness - imo

Re: Glenn's new RSM 130D
Kyle - SeaChem came out with a new salt called Salinity.
Glenn - I have read in some forums that some people have been seeing relatively low number with that salt, like 400 and below on Ca and 6 Alk. Just passin on some info I read...

Re: Glenn's new RSM 130D
Just my opinion (again LOL!) but I just don't see the Salinity being any better than any other quality salt. Sure - they have targets and acceptable ranges for each batch, but I have to believe that's true of any good salt manufacturer. I think it's all just marketing hype to get folks to believe it's the best, and to pay more money for something no better than many other salts. It sounds just like things my company used to do. The worst results and cloudiest SW that I've used was their Reef Salt. Anyway - you know me Glenn - I have my opinions!

Re: Glenn's new RSM 130D
I agree with you Terry. Although I have to say that with the Reef Salt I have, the cloudiness disappears after 24 hrs of mixing and consistently been getting 440- 460 Ca and 9-10 Alk at 1.026 SG, I still haven't bought a Mag test kit yet.:hammerhea
