Default 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. 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

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. 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 dollarsfor 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.

Roger that he took alot of pictures for me.

HERE IS MY TANK
RSM 250 as it sit's






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. HELPING ME OUT.

Wow ... you are so lucky to have a super kind person like the Grizz to help you. My heart would have dropped on the floor if I saw my new stand get ripped apart like that without me there ... But your stand is in good hands, Mike !
