Hi there, I'm having some trouble finding bulbs for my RSM130 either the new 130D bulbs or the coralife 65w bulbs... where to buy online ? European or UK store ?

Hi there, I'm not that happy with my Tunze 9002 : while seems a good skimmer, since the water level is not exactly 100% stable in the back ( water changes, sometimes the Chemipure clogs a bit ) ... and then its a pain in the arse to fiddle with the Tunze to get the skimmate right again...

Hi there folks, Tinkering with taking out the RSM130D hood off and .. well install a MH HQi light system... Found a great contact that gets me a 1 x 250w 14.000k + 2 x 24w actinicts T5 for a song.. and brand new. My gripes are : - wont the skimmer would be loud, since there are no...

Hi there, Hi have some very hardy white pulsing xenia, quite beautifull that REALLY have overgrown. One stalk free per person - I'm in Portugal - to European reefers. You just have to pay postage and its yours. More than one stalk - 5 euro per stalk. Find cheaper than that ! I'm...

Hi there, I was panicking with Apistasia : due to my heavy feeding, I had two big apistasias that were multiplying. Then, with my severe tank temperature swings ( socket failure on my chiller that let temperature boost up to 31c , and followed by lovely RSM heater breaking down and...

I trully do. Thankfully, I have a "loaner" flatmate : friend of mine, who also is a reefer and is living in our apartment for a couple of months due to work in another city but have to be in Lisbon for a few months. So couple of days ago, he phoned me really scared because he arrived home...

Hi there folks, See many people asking what camera you have, etc etc. Cameras have an importance on photography but there is a common wrong assumption : that cameras make the photography. Cameras make 5 or 10% of the photography. The guy that clicks the shutter makes 60 or 70% of the initial...

yadadad, the RSM 130 is a beautifull tank with rounded corners, has no sharp angles, great. how the heck you guys clean it off algae ?

I've trying to get hold of some phytoplancton food, roti feast or similar to feed corals. Today at my LFS they said they received this, I bought a small bottle . Anyone used it ? Comments ? Called SALIFERT CORAL FOOD

Hi there, Considering buying a Vortech or even actually installing one of the old Tunze Turbelles ( which are the same - bit more powerfull actually - but have a digital computer to control it, motor outside like the vortech.. just tad bigger ) but where everyone installs the VTECH's on the...

ok got my first problem with my 130D my second pump is cavitating and I cant see how to fix it. let me explain it : water level is high ( inside tank is covering the plate where the hinges rest ) - should it be higher ? tanks is almost against a wall on the left side, cant see the...

I really hate my LFS. Its humongus. Today I went there because I want to buy some epoxy to properly fix some corals. I ended up going out the door with the epoxy and 160.00 in corals. GRRRRRR.

Ok heres the idea : I like the fact of NOT having nothing protuding in the tank ( powerheads, etc etc ). Im also aware that the two pumps that come with the RSM can and should be upgraded in terms of flow. Now I plan to replace ONE of them with a Tunze 7420.. its shaped as a "standard...

Hi folks, Just used carbon and other DI on a very light basis on my previous tanks. I bought now a thing of Chemi Pure Elite and want to try it but as most of you know it, the tank is rather new - 3 weekish old or something like that. Well my values are stabilizing - amonia reads 0, no2...

Hi there, Im the future, well at least 6 or 8 months I would like to ponder to introduce a Entaqmea Quadricolor Anemone ( bubble tip ) in my 130D... Does anyone keep one ( and they are by far one of the easiest anemones ) in their 130D? With stock lights ? If so, for how long ? I...

Hi there, Since I started my tank , I got few private messages from fellow RSM members asking about the inTank products. Since I bought the two available for the RSM, I think I can make an unbiased review for them. So lets start, I bought the Tunze inTank cup and the inTank media slot...

Hi there, Something new to me : Live Sand. I never used it before.. so long story cut short, the LFS opened a 20kg bag of aragonite and dumped it on their refugium for a week - making my sand live ( their refugium is full of critters. But my tank is full with water already ( empty ) and...

Hi there, Which pump and flowrate is recommended for feeding a Hailea 150A chiller on a RSM130D ?

Hi there, Just wondering.. well if fellow americans do it, why we , Europeans can't do it as well ? Heck, the US is bigger than Europe. I'm from Portugal for example, will someone sell or trade frags to me ? If not, please specify reason ( ie afraid of too much time in transit, coral die off...
