UKoldschool, you talking about the left chamber 600GPH pump? How did it fit? did you mount it the same way, same hardware? Thanks!

The NewJet pumps look like twins to our MaxiJet Utility Pumps over here in the states.

New-Jet Multi-Use Pumps

NeW-Jet 3000 1500 - 3000lph*

That is what I was looking at Terry. I was thinking of replacing both mine with Maxi-Jet 1100s if they will fit as I really don't need anything more than something to push the back chamber water out and keep it moving. Posibilities!

Tom - the 1100 is what I use for my sump return pump.

 

[tnwillia]

Are you happy with it? Life span? need of cleaning?

 

[Reefmack]

Hi Tom. I can't recall how long I've had the 1100 running. I had in in my first sump/refugium, then was sumpless for a while. To be honest, since I set the latest sump up several months ago I haven't had it out for cleaning, and have had no problems with it. It gets turned off and on frequently and no problems with it restarting. I tend to forget about it, but I should pull it out soon and clean it.

You just told me it's a tough little pump, thats good news. I've got an 1800 I've been using for salt mixing for over 18 months now but it's to big for this. Thanks!

 

[Reefmack]

I've got an 1800 too. I originally had it for my return pump, but it seemed borderline too much for the LifeReef siphon.

Ok, I have good news and bad news!

The good news is my wife and I are expecting our first baby! YAY...

The bad news, we could use the room so I must part ways with my RSM 250!
I know this isn't the selling post but if anyone is interested, I'm in the Boston area.

All equipment is for sale.

 

[Reefmack]

Good news on the baby on the way! Sorry that you must part with the tank, but room for the baby is an excellent reason! Best wishes for a happy and healthy baby.

Congrats on the baby and Sorry about your tank

Congrats on the Baby! Maybe you can get a 14G Biocube, and keep some a nano reef?

Hi,

I'm new here. I have a question regarding the max 250. What do you use to replace the filter media (#5 & #10 from the picture)?

The link may have not shown up due to you not having enough posts yet, but here's the picture to help.......

I don't have the 250 (130 here) but I'll be interested in the replies.

to ReefSanctuary and RSM Club, a real Sanctuary of reef forums, with lots of very nice members

#5 and #10 are sponges... I think most run them... a few run non, but nice to trap particles... sure some 250 owners will advise soon.

Hi,

I use the 2 sponge filters, do you mean you want to replace them with new ones or something else?

I'm not sure you need to replace them unless they get damaged in some way, they just need to be cleaned regularly.
