Hello. We thought we had finished putting together our RSM250 last night but ended up with a leftover piece and are stumped. I'm going to try to describe it and hopefully can get away with not posting a picture. It is a black cylinder shaped piece, about 2 1/2 inches long, covered with horizontal cut-outs. Does anyone know where this goes? Thanks for your help.

Thats weird never seen that befor?
Good ID BigAl!
Check out this link - post #61. It looks like an inlet grate for the skimmer pump, but I'm not even sure it's supposed to be used?

Any of you 250 owners have & use this piece?

There ya go! I could tell by the spiracle "slots" that it had to twist-n-lock onto some type of tabs.
Terry you da man
No - YOU da man!
You're welcome. I figured it out with BigAl's help! Now we just need to find out if that piece is even needed - I'd guess that it isn't.

BigAl,
There is a picture on the spec page that shows how all of the components fit in the back, behind the tank. Thanks.

BigAl - here's a big picture of the back of the 250:
MAX 250 filtration & circulation unit
1. Accessory Kit (inlet/outlet ports)
2. 1200 lph circulation pump with adjustable direction outlet
3. Compartment for accessory pump
4. Thermostat controlled heater
5. Mechanical filter sponge
6. Adjustable protein skimmer with a turbo aspiration pump
7. Highly porous ceramic biological filter media
8. Activated carbon chemical filter media
9. Cartridge for fine (water polishing) filter material
10. Sponge bubble trap
11. 2400 lph circulation pump with adjustable direction outlet
I can't see that piece anywhere in here, which makes me think it's not used or needed.

The good news is it looks like u have the new style pump!
I would use the strainer just in case a snail or something squeezed down there it may save the impeller.

Is that strainer supposed to be used? Ooops - I see you gave an answer: "I would use the strainer just in case a snail or something squeezed down there it may save the impeller."
