are you still running the filter pads????get rid of them if you are.... also lose the media under the pumps and use a small amount of rubble instead....
the bag of media under the pumps is a detrius trap and it really slows the flow down... so does the white polishing pad above the carbon.... also you could try to remove the gate on the overflow....
the problem with the rsm is that the returns are placed too high... you could also try to extend the intake on the maxi jets farther down so its drawing water form the bottom instead of nearly surface level...
i had a rsm for almost 2 years and finally grew to love the thing...
just saw your edit... i stand by what i said... get rid of the media in the return section..
