Hey guys I am unsure how to use this site properly yet, I am having a few issues with my stock skimmer when I turn the air up or down it does nothing. I cannot get the bubbles to come up the skimmer any help appreciated, also I can't seem to get bk to find comment of help on hear lol.
Hi and welcome. You may want to increase waterflow to the skimmer. This will increase the pressure causing more bubbles. Depending on your skimmer, you can make adustment to the waterflow within your skimmer as well this find tunes the amount of skimming.

Hope this helps.

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself. Very new to the hobby. Have lots of experience with planted freshwater tanks, finally decided to take the plunge with reef tanks. Having the wife's blessing now was also a factor (time,$$$, hehe). Just bought a used 2yo 250 off kijiji, it's now in my house - man that things heavy! But a big factor in choosing the rsm 250 was the wealth of info available in this forum.

Gonna take my time, do as much as I can right before doing it wrong. Gonna start by buying a replacement skimmer before stocking. It already came with a tunze ATO. Will now also need a ro/di unit. The tank is now in my finished basement which is pretty cool compared to the rest of my home, so I'm hoping a chiller won't be necessary.

Cheers.

Hi all,

Just thought I'd drop by to say hello :)

Although I've 40 years freshwater experience I've never yet tried my hand with saltwater.

All that's about to change though as I will be setting up an RSM C130 next month.

I've been researching this for over three years now and feel like I'm finally ready to make the big step. :)

Thanks for the hellos :) I certainly will start one. This probably is odd but I will likely build my own custom stand for my RSM before starting my tank. i.e. replacing the stock one.

Hello! I'm new to this site but not to the hobby. I recently won a red sea max c-130 on another reef forum and just got it set up yesterday. I ran across this club while doing some research about problems with getting the skimmer to work and micro bibbles in the tank. I used this tank to replace my 30 long, I used the same water, rock and sand in this build. (I rinsed the sand clean) I just figuered I'd introduce myself here and I'll try to get a build thread done today.
