lamia2super Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Im thinking about upgrading from a biocube 29 hqi to a red sea max 250 or getting one some what custom. what do you guys think about the RSM 250 compared to making one? the tank is in my bedroom so noisy is my top concern. any advice would be helpful! especially from those who have a RSM 250 Link to comment
siwelk Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think you'll be happier with a custom build. Serious hobbyists often reach the limitations of AIOs like the RSM. Link to comment
Tbone675 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 agree custom. check tanks here and get ideas, bet you can think up something great. Link to comment

spark Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I was looking at a custom acrylic and have an RSM already. I would go custom as well. Link to comment
lamia2super Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 custom tanks with a sump are louder then the AIO tanks no? thats the only reason why i wouldnt want a sump setup because the noise. remember this is in my bedroom. the space i have is about 38x20x55. also as much as i love rimless tanks the light will most likely bother my eyes when im watching tv. i have a small towel over my HQI to keep some of that light from hitting my eyes here a picture of the space im working with back when i first upgraded to the 29g HQI and here you can see the light is directly in my eyes Link to comment
