RSM 130 and 130D Mods - Page 2

Reefmack · 12-18-2008, 09:20 PM

aftbn - I just looked at your gallery - that setup with the other nano/fuge in the RSM cabinet looks great - it's like having 2 tanks to watch!

On posting pictures, there's some info. on this page that may help with using Photobucket:

Its Here, Its Here, Finally Here!!!!

Once you get used to Photobucket it's easy.

Thanks reefmack, I'll check it out.

Worthwhile links provided by nanoreefing4fun, for taking the hoods apart to install additional lighting:

This thread was stickied by BigAl for us. That should make it easy to find. Hopefully everyone will use it for mods, even if they just post a link in here to another thread with a mod.

Thanks Terry & BigAl !

a long time ago, i cut off 1/2 inch from the bottom of the skimmer body to lower it more. I may cut it another 1/2 inch soon.
There's my mod, the only other thing i have done(which im sure everyone knows already)is drill a 1/4 hole in the upper right corner and stuck the air line in to quiet down the skimmer.

Nice to see some mod links & mods showing up in here! Hopefully that will make it a bit easier to find them. The tank and sump/fuge are looking great bodyguard295!

bodyguard295 · 06-04-2009, 07:13 PM

Thank you! I try!

bodyguard295 · 06-08-2009, 07:34 AM

Sorry about my post for the 250 above. That was before the 130 and the 250 mod threads got separated!

Reefmack · 06-08-2009, 08:01 AM

bodyguard - No apology needed - both threads are now stickied - one for 130 & 130D mods (renamed to "RSM 130 and 130D Mods", and a second one for 250 mods. Thanks to Allen - BigAl07!
