    Is 1 kessil 360we enough for a RSM 250?

    Just upgraded from a RSM 130 to a RSM 250 65 gal. I had been using a Kessil 360we over my 130, can I transfer it to my 250? I'm trying not to buy a different or another light if I don't have to. Will be running a reef tank, mostly softies, zoas, euphyllia, Yuma, blastos, acans etc. Not really...

    Adding Ocean Revive 247 to RSM 130

    I hear ya, this is just the last thing on the list and I have no other ideas on what the problem could be. By process of elimination it leaves just the light. Trust me, I dont wanna spend the money either but OR is a much cheaper light compared to others that at this point I'm willing to give it...

I know people who have great coral success with Ocean Revive so Im...

    Tunze 9001 skimmer

    Ya the gunk stays in the neck but the cup fills with plenty water, I have to empty it daily. So when you say water level of the skimmer has to be risen, do you mean raise the whole skimmer itself or lower it? because if I lower it to raise the water level inside the skimmer wouldn't that bring...
