SRC Member peacemaker Posted May 22, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted May 22, 2008 Wonder which is more expensive: the tank or the chiller... You might wanna make a list of the LS and corals you plan to keep so that the rest of the folks can give you better advice? In the meantime, do read up a lot on their care and requirements so that you either set up the system to meet the standards needed, or not even consider buying them at all.

kohray Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 hi bro, did you manage to reduce the micro bubbles? i am facing the same problem and looking for solution to solve this...tks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ckevin Posted March 10, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted March 10, 2009 bro, seriously unless u love all the features of the RSM, i will suggest u put ur money into a custom made tank with sump. RSM is pretty badly made, especially the cabinet. Also, due to the IOS, it is quite restrictive in terms of equipment. The stock lights are also not the most ideal light IMO. Also, the cabinet does not have any ventilation, which means no chiller can be housed in it.(i wonder if the person who designed it has any reef keeping experience.) If u buy a chiller, u have to place it by the side, which defeats the purpose of a AIO(all in one) tank design. $1k plus u can have a rather decent custom made tank already. With a sump(bigger water volume) your parameters tend to be more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSM has a 4ft one which i saw the other day at AM@Katong....everything is there, equipped with sump system and overflow pipes. Basically plug and reef. If that one cost less than $4k, i dun mind...rather than getting contractors to build cabinet and all that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
