How many of you can still say its a "RSM"

[mbdave]

What I mean is how far from what you bought is your tank? Mine has a, sump, skimmer, different heater, ph meter, chiller, refugium, etc. etc. etc. I think Glenn is the only one that runs stock that I know off, "I often wonder if he's the only one with patience" Just curious as how many have "modded" their RSM?

 

[Reefmack]

Not much left of my orginal tank - the tank, cabinet and 2 circ pumps are all that remains.

 

[tnwillia]

Not me, same list as Terry!

 

[Dweezil]

Mine is almost the same. The only things I've changed is the heater and skimmer.

 

[pwrmac2]

Only things still original for me are the tank and stand.

 

[hotshot1133]

tank stand pumps and skimmer for now, ohh the rocks are the same to and i got those at the same time as the rsm

 

[Setragni]

Pumps, skimmer, glass and stand here. Soon the skimmer will be gone!

 

[TonyV]

Only thing left from my original purchase is the tank and the stand. I've sold off everything I've taken off my original RSM.

 

[jpsika08]

Well, just bought it but don't meant to be kept "stock"

 

[dmyers557]

Mines all modded up. But only because I wanted to do SPS. I think stock is fine for anything else. Of course, its always fun to mod......for me at least.

 

[pocketreef]

I consider mine still a RSM but with complementary equipment I haven't removed any original things just added 2 pumps on timers, ATO with kalk reactor, chiller and temp controller. It's getting less RS each day, T5 will be all KZ soon :O

 

[stevesparkes]

I have secret...

confidential secret plan, buy a 130D & see if I a sw newbie could have success with my 1st ever saltwater tank and if so, upgrade to a RSM 250 or even a RSM 500 with the $$$ saved from running my stock 130D.

ps - don't tell anyone my secret

 

[tnwillia]

good point Glenn. i guess with what i have put into mine in mods i could buy a new 500.

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

But mods are part of the fun... if you are a DIYer... a can appreciate everyone enjoying the hobby & adding mods... if I were very good at DIY, I would have done some to, I am sure...

I always enjoy seeing everyones

 

[dankent]

Glenn you make a very good point ... with the money I have put into the 130D alone I could have been in a 250

 

[vubben]

New heater (forced, mine was DOA) modified the skimmer cup top and plan on getting a Tunze (forced, noise was making me crazy:verymad: ) Think one of my circulation pumps is defective so that may be another forced mod. Replaced the ceramic tubes with Chemi-Pure. I am still using the stock black sponge! Although I did cut it in half. Other than that its all stock.

And I don't even have any livestock yet. Might have to get used to just staring at rocks for a while.

 

[reeferman]

no biorings,run seagel,added powerheads,chiller,changed bulbs.everything is is stock.:smack:

 

[vubben]

Glenn you make a very good point ... with the money I have put into the 130D alone I could have been in a 250

But you forget that you would have also modified the 250 and been well on your way to a 500

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

If/when I get a RSM 250, I plan on running it stock, likewise the RSM 500
