The tank looks great! How are the temps with lights on and all pumps going? Any need for chiller like the D model?

Ha yeah I hear you....I would probably be ok also since I live in Alaska, even my summer temps are usually 65-75 if I'm lucky.

Irene are you going to use the full Reef Care Program including the NO3PO4-X? I'm interested in how that works.
Are you doing a mixed reef or SPS dominant etc?

Thanks

I've not thought that far ahead program wise Frank but the tank will be mostly softies & fish for a while I think, I always like to keep things simple.

Cheers

Great start Irene! That is some very nice rock, and sounds like Jon gave you excellent service! I'll be watching this thread to see how the tank progresses. Take care.

Hi RJ, the tank is nice and quiet, at first I thought the hood cooling fans were noisy, but they have settled down now and they are fine, my tank is in the living room with the TV so any noise would bug me, there is a little noise when the TV is off but it's really just a hum, hope you enjoy setting up your tank as much as I have.

Hi Kev, Really happy with the tank so far, I started a tank thread on UR as well in the I'm new section but not sure if I should have put it in members tanks or the Red Sea section and not sure how to move it.

Hi there,

So after the great advise on here I put 2 100 bags of cpe & 1 X 100 of Purigen in my media rack today, on the cpe instructions it said to put a thin piece of filter floss on top of each bag, I done this is that ok ? and the purigen is at the top of the rack it's floating a little ie: not sitting flat is that ok as well, sorry for the stupid questions. Oh, one more question, should I take the black filter sponges that came with the tank out or leave them.

Thanks

Irene

Irene - most of the RSM 250 owners don't run the black course sponge filters and just run some of the fine white/blue filter material.

hope this helps :)

Thanks Glenn,
I have filter floss but it is only white it came in a sort of roll and you just cut what you want from it is that the stuff you mean ? Also do I put it in the media rack or where I took the sponges out from next to the pumps, sorry to be a bit of a dummie.

Thanks

Bump;

Can anyone answer this please, I'm about to take the sponges out and don't want to leave it empty in there if I'm going to do any harm that way.

Thanks

Irene
