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..

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.

I think smudge had a friend over that way that had one for sale. You could pm him and find out. Sorry it says sold now.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.
