hmmm a 250 would be so nice, u still enjoying yours shelly? hows the skimmer and what not did u have to do any upgrades? are they quite like the 130? more evaporation?

JL had them on sale pretty cheap on boxing day, and they say that their boxing day is a 2 day sale. Price wasn't far off of King Ed's, but worth looking into.

I really quite like it. I did find it was running pretty warm, even at night when the lights were off, so I changed out the bigger pump with an eheim I had laying around, and that helped a lot. I still leave the skimmer access panel open so it breathes a little better.

I'm not very impressed with the skimmer.. Maybe it's that I do not have the patience to let it break in. Cameron has one and seems happy with the skimmer, but I yanked mine and put a tunze nano skimmer in. I have a little bubble magus in a cube tank that skims like a muther, and I'm sure it would fit in the rsm just fine, also euroreef has a nano skimmer they claim fits..

hmmm very tempting lol. is it quiet? im sure it evaporates like the rest of them? i finally figured out the timer on your old one. sure is nice to have that working.

It's very quiet, but it has a better weir so you really do hear when it wants water. Also it has regular t5 lamps so you don't need to buy the special ones.
