I recently picked up a RSM 250 for free and after many hours of getting it reef ready it's finally been cycling for a little over a week. I am having some issues with it though. My biggest concern is the skimmer, it doesn't seem to continuously run, I'll fine tune it and it'll run great for an hour then go right back to running like shit. I've followed the owners manual to the T. But that issue goes hand in hand with another one, I can't seem to keep the water level stable to save my life. The left side of the gate is very loose and it may be sliding down but I can't say for sure, all I know is the water level fluctuates so damn much I had to unplug my ATO because it was dumping water into the tank so much that it almost overflowed. The last problem I'm having is the heat. I haven't had the lights on and the temperature in my room is 70 - 75 but the temperature inside the tank is 85 still, even with the fan on the back left at full power. I can't afford a chiller so has anybody done anything to remedy the heat?
