LF Deltec MC500 Skimmer - Calgary and surrounding

[lee9]

Good to know. Thanks.

This is the thread I was referring to. He is from Calgary. Not sure if he still has it for sale though.

You just have to cut a small piece of the plastic on the top of the left side of the skimmer chamber so it sit level. There is a video showing the mod on YouTube.

I've only had my RSM250 set up for 6 months and I haven't burnt out any of the rear cooling fans. I leave them on 24/7 too.

I am using the stock Hydor skimmer pump.

I will look into the thread that you mentioned was posted a few months ago. I did see on recently but I believe the gentleman lived in Vancouver. In which case maybe I should buy a new one from JL or something...

Did you have to make any mods to your tank lid for your Deltec?
Do you burn through as many rear cooling fans as I do?
