New skimmer for rsm250

[ookamii]

so the old pump in the deltec 500 was about to blow up the shaft and impeller was so out of balance. Our lfs was red 100$ for a new pump or 60$ for a new impeller. I was never really happy with the skimmer which came with the tank rsm250 when we got it.

I broke down and got a bubble magus z6, with a little trimming it fits in the middle chamber. I put 2 mason jars and some clear plexi to make the platform for it to sit on. I also had to put the air valve on intake from my deltec 500 to get the levels to skim right till it’s broken in.

You can read the first pages of my thread. There I describe how I did the RSM250 skimmer set up. Very easy. Since 2014, till today, it has been working perfectly. I never understood why people complained about it.

Take a look to what I did and give it a try before expending money.

Best !
