RSM 250 Upgrade Pumps and Skimmer Advice

[Borderjumper]

Looking at the tank, I replaced the left hand pump with an eheim... You could use maxi jets if Yiu wanted. I yanked the skimmer and am now using a Nac bubble magus. Actually I'm using two. They fit in the middle section, but stick up higher that the flap thingie.. So I have to leave that open.

Thanks but I am not looking to have the lid open and prefer not to make any modifications to the tank. I am considering a Deltec.

Lots go with a deltech 500

I am now having second thoughts on the Deltec. It looks like I will have to cut a hole in the flap in order to have the skimmer fit properly. Did you have to do the same in yours? See you tube video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC3BQ_gBr4s

Also, do you have any insight on the pumps?

Thanks!

For the pumps I have left the left side stock and on the right side. I added the same pump as the left haha. I also have an MP10 on the tank. This seems to work well for SPS corals but I'd go with 2 MP10's if I had the choice.


Edit: I also run a chiller from the right side pump.
