Skimmer King's RSM 250 BUILD.
Well what to say the reno's have caused me to sell off pretty much all the big ticket Items. Like the 240 Gal tank, The Stand, the Skimmer, the bigger tangs. However I will be putting all the smaller fish into the RSM tank and hand picking the best rock that i have for this tank.:biggrin: See there is always a Positive side. So let's start shall we.
RSM 250 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Wait a minute Mike you don't build anything its all pre fabbed. Oh contrary to belief my dear Watson. Watch and learn. oh ya 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and pictures Well lets just say that I bought the Tank the RSM 250 in Calgary Wait a minute Mike you live in Manitoba. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm How did you get it. Easy from my good Friend The KARMA KING GRIZZ.:BIG: yes that is what I said. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA So I talked to Grizz over the Phone and he said Hey Mike Im heading down there on Business and I would gladly take a look. WOw Greg really thanks man. SO Friday came and Grizz made his way to Clagary and time out of his busy Time and Work time to go look. Amazing Guy, Well before doing any of that. I wired Grizz $1000 dollars:jaw:for him to buy the tank if its good. Yes $1000 holy mother mary of God. Really "yes I trusxt him he is a good guy and a trust worthly friend.:thumb: Roger that he took alot of pictures for me. HERE IS MY TANK RSM 250 as it sit's http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...0/IMG_0562.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...0/IMG_0563.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...0/IMG_0565.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...0/IMG_0564.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...0/IMG_0568.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...0/IMG_0566.jpg there you go so you are thinking what th3e heck and how did you get pictures if you are in manitoba. Funny you should ask that. Grizz not only took the pictures, but if you look clos enough the tank is in his shop. He filled it up added vinegar let it set over night cleared it out the next morning wiped it all down and then if took Pictures. NOW FOR THE FULL PART----------------------------------------------- Grizz suggested mike looking at the frame we could open that up and reinforce it with some tubing Mike. But Greg I can't I dont know how to do this. "Mike" I will do this for you WELL HOLY CRAP. OK. and so the pictures will keep coming. Are ya seeing what is happening here. I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THIS TANK IN PERSON YET THIS IS ALL GRIZZ'S DOING.... SO ON HIS DAY OFF HERE HE GOES LIKE A BUNNY AGAIN.
