Upgrade to RSM 250

Hello @Journeyman, nice upgrades you are doing to the RSM 250.
I also have a RSM 250 and would just like to find out which return pumps you bought to replace the original return pumps and which hood cooling fans you bought to replace the original ones?
Links will be highly appreciated.

Hi Wade.

The fans are from Micro Robotics
Fan 60x60x20mm 12V - 300mmFAN6020-L300-12V

The return pumps I added are the DCS-3000(@ 4led speed) DCS-2000 (@3 led speed) both Jebao DC pumps got them on Takealot.The 2 fans on the back is thinner you will need to shop around for them.

An quick update - had a nasty bubble algae outbreak with the warm weather to the point of taking the rocks out and scrubbing them one by one today below after photo.

Cleaning time, as a lot of coral growth can be noticed - holy-wood stunner especially.

Here is the current operational mode for my RSM 250

For cooling these fans on the back left are used

Also the small desk fan is used in summer, cooling at the back since I did not receive the lid to close the area with the tank

How has coral growth been? There seems to be patches of algae on back glass?

Yes I caught it in time had a nitrate increase and currently slowly bringing it back down with carbon dosing ( Vinegar+ kalkwasser dosing) did lose a few corals but it is stable now. The algae is dying off as well as kept in check by the Urchin, snails and foxface.
