I have been doing a lot of research on RSM since I first got the tank back in May 2007. There has been a lot of materials in this area and a lot of new RSM owners. So, I think it is a good idea to create a linking page for all RSM contents so that you don't need to keep searching for any specific topics... this will be an on-going update. Suggestions and links welcome.

Good Idea for a thread. I think we are all in touch with each other anyway, but this consolidates it to one spot.

Yes....Awesome idea.

I know that I have gained alot from the RSM owners on nano. Thanks to all and keep those pics coming!

to find their threads a good thing is to search their user name, find them and go to "memebers topics"

Thanks! I've been trying to track all of these and I'm afraid that I've missed some.

Do you want more?

Thanks Hank. Appreciate all the research.

I have been tracking some ... but sometimes unable to get the thread back because I did not bookmark them ... this is why I tried to create an index thread for RSM owners and myself for easy access

Yeah that will be great. If you can create a new thread and send me the link. I can put that in the original post so people do not need to read through the whole thread

Sorry Steve. I started it because I had a hard time looking for the info over and over again. The search does not work too well ... or it could be my technical skills issue.

Actually if you are going to start one, why don't you create one and I can rename this thread to something else or point this to yours ... You are more of an original content reefer which I think RSM owners like us will benefit from reading your thread ... I was just trying to consolidate without much value add. Let me know. I can email you the text of my original post so that you can do the official RSM Index thread

I got a couple questions for you folks. I have the tunze skimmer on order from marine depot it should be here tomorrow or wednesday

. I want to set up a system like pwoller has but I have never messed with cheato. How much light is needed for it to flurish and how long should the light run. I dont wanna cut holes in the hood so I was hopeing someone could direct me to a small enough light I can just leave in or just above the water.

First of all, let me repeat that I'm thrilled that someone is doing this. I'm not too crazy about the concept of everyone posting their comments to the same thread. I like that everyone has their own tank thread (and look forward to the day when I too can post on behalf of SWMBO, my one true love.

OK, I'll stop now before you guys get sick of me.

) And it's really hard to track them myself. I open an RSM thread, start ogling the pictures or following the description and totally forget to bookmark.

Next, can I ask that you add the "view=getnewpost" argument to the URL? For example, I've modified my bookmark of lilredneckman's thread to be:

CODE

http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=140638&view=getnewpost

so that whenever I click on it, I go right to the first unread post. Unless I'm missing something on this board, that function does not appear once you enter a thread. And yeah, I'm a lazy bastage.

And while I'm at it, I'll recommend a way to get around search difficulties. Go to google and include "site:nano-reef.com" in you search string and it will search only this site. It doesn't replace the site search, but can be a big help when site search comes up empty. (At one point site search ignored anything three characters or less, making it rather difficult to search for "Red Sea Max."

)

thanks again,
hank

Ok Hank. I changed the link for lilredneckman's thread to get the new post. I am not sure if everyone coming in will want to always jump to the last post as there are newbies that may want to read the entire thread. So, what I will do later is add a latest link beside everyone's thread so that the feature you requested is also available

Thanks for suggesting using site:nano-reef.com in the google search. You must be working for Google because Yahoo does the same thing with site:nano-reef.com. Can't be biased buddy. Use Yahoo!

I thought of new users too and would never do anything that wound inconvenience someone else for my convenience. I'm pretty sure that takes them to the first unread post, but you might be right. Maybe this board performs an automatic 'catch up' since when I open a long thread, I don't go to the first post. ... OK, better do it your way.

Multiple chiller threads:
RSM Chiller thread 1
RSM Chiller thread 2

Don't really see a recommendation there though.

I believe Jmanning got a 1/10 HP Chiller for his RSM and Secondbreath installed Current 1/15 Prime Chiller.

Hope this helps.

There is a really nice lighting mod on RC that adds a 65w bulb in the front lid. Looks very promising!
http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...20#post13145920

I can't figure out how to seperate the two halves of the front lid -- the three screws come out after removing their press-in covers, but I can't figure out how to seperate the hinge area. Any ideas?

smarsh

Nice mod. I would be worried about heat issues. As it is my tank gets really hot with the stock bulbs. The extra actinic must really show bright colors. Something to consider.

JimDantin

Aug 26 2008, 05:05 PM

I've recorded around 1 degree F increase in temperature.

Our local fish group had an interesting discussion about tank temperatures. The general concensus was that you should quit trying to hold down the temperature unless it's trying to go above 84. If it stays below 84 without any chillers or other serious equipment, then set up the tank to run ALL the time at that temp. It's the CHANGE that does the most harm.

If your tank drops down to 77-78 at night, but you struggle to keep it at that temp during the day, why not set your heaters to hold it at something like 82 all the time? 77 to 84 is a BIG temperature rise -- 82 - 84 is no big deal.

Just a thought from some people who have WAY more experience than me!
