DIY Hood prop for older RSMs

Reefmack · 11-24-2008, 06:53 PM

For those running the older RSM model, and find it a PITA working in the pump chamber because you need 3 hands, an extra person to hold the hood up for you, or have been removing the whole hood, try this:

It worked great for me. Some have used a block of wood, but I preferred the corrugated cardboard, as it's a more flexible and easier to jam under the right side of the hood. It's cheap too!
