RSM Skimmer Poll

I've always wondered how many RSM owners are still running the stock skimmer, or if they've modded it, or replaced it.

Re: RSM Skimmer Poll

I've just set it up, but so far, not too please with it... I gotta try the collector cup "hole" mod to see if that'll help...

Re: RSM Skimmer Poll

Before I added a fuge I ran the stock(w/ all the mods.) skimmer and it work fine. When I added a fuge I switched over to the Tunze 9005, it works great also....

Re: RSM Skimmer Poll

doubledeuce - on the Tunze 9005 it says "In-sump (9005.400 required) or in-tank use". What is the 9005.400 that's required for in-sump use?
