The difficulty accessing the media in a RSM is a common complaint.
A lot of people with RSM have been removing the media from the back and putting a canister filter in the stand to get the media more accessible and reduce maintanance. The lines to and from the canister can be run through the oval shapped chiller plug in the back. This can be done without having to do any mods to the tank.
People who also need a chiller have been using the canister (Magnum 360 or Fluval 404) as a circulation pump for their chillers. If you don't need a chiller you can use a smaller canister.
