From a fellow RSM owner :wave:

Thanks Seabreeze!
I will definitely PM you. i always have lots of questions.

I hope I won't have the urge to change tanks again soon.

This is the biggest tank i've ever had.

I love the all in one systems, because they are clean looking and easy to operate.

At home ....
 
I've been home quite a bit over the past week due to the flu.
Now my son has it as well.

Adjusted the Mp10 today a bit.
the rsm 250 stock skimmer is loud and finicky.

Today I had time to play around with the rock structure.

i definitely need more rocks!
The goal is to create a two column structure, with a canyon in between.

Inside the tank are easy corals from my old tank.
branching hammer coral
Green trumpet coral
Red candy cane coral
A yuma
Corky finger gorg
A dying green singularia
A bit of GSP
And a tiny chunk of xenia


I will love to try a bit of easy SPS in the near future.

One coral I really want to try is the Monti plate. i love how that thing grows, and spirals. Just need to find a good location for it.

The plan is to havea good mixture of soft and hard corals.

HAving wayy too many expenses already, this will be a very slow process. But i don't mind buying small frags and watching them grow!

You need to take Seabreeze up on her offer for some pointers on how to run and maintain your tank, really! Have her send you a pic of her tank and you'll understand. She'd be tank of the month/quarter easy if only she posted some pics :lol:

LOL gonna need to owe you a frag for that Hung LOL

Pic to come when I figure out how to post it LOL

One thing I do suggest (RSM reps please close your eyes and cover your ears) ...change out the skimmer. I went for the Deltec MC500. You only need to do a very tiny adjustment to fit it in. Did it myself and you couldn't notice anything. Picked it up from J&L.

Much much better skimmer if you plan on SPS

There's a few clips on youtube... here's one

Any yes a bit of a vinegar soak will get everything looking like new :mrgreen:

Seabreeze, yes please post photos! I would love to see the tank.
i would love to get a deltec, but I'm not willing to spend the $ on it yet. Its definitely not cheap!

One thing I have noticed is that there is a lot of evaporation. i need to buy an ATO soon.

Is Tunze the only way to go?
Anyone use the JbJ ATO?

Or other brands?
