Red Sea Max 250 anyone?

[marki24]

Hi everyone.

I am really like the red sea max 250 more each day. Does anyone own one and if so can you share your experience with it?

cathym1078 here on MR has one, take a look at her thread. I've seen the tank in person and it is amazing. I'm sure she'll answer any questions you might have. BTW she'd had it for about a year,I believe.

Man I wish I had just bought one of those when I started the hobby. I would've saved boat loads of money lol.

Most of the reviews I've read on RC and people here on MR say the 250 is awesome. People modded LED lights into the hood which is even better. If you want to see one in person Fishtown has them.

I had heard there could be a heating issue with them.

Where did you hear that?? From the looks of it it looks like its equipped for heat issues.

Hey Marki- I love the look of the RSM tanks the only complaint ive heard anyone say out of all the videos ive watched of them is one guy on youtube he absolutely loves his but has had problems with the shaft and needlewheel in his skimmer that it comes with it has broken a couple of times - heres his video that he talks about it on youtube.

But watch the rest of his vids he still loves it with the rest of the people that have me and post on youtube.

Just paid off mine today, it will be here on wedsnesday, I am crazy excited. I notice alot less people mod the 250 then the 130. I also purchased 2 koralia 40s powerheads. The only other thing I plan on doing is adding custom LEDs. Come next Friday I will be setting everything up, I just pray I don't screw everything up.

Pon- if i can ask, how much did you pay?

My lsf hooked me up with a good price and then sweetened the pot. Def alot cheaper then I have found from any place online even with free shipping included

So I take that as you not gonna say how much you paid

i didn't really wanna put the business of my lsf out there so i sent you a pm when you asked maybe you didn't get it?

I was just curious being new to this hobby. After looking at the size of the rsm250 on the net i was just curious if anyone feels like the 2 koralia 4s i purchased are over kill? it was suggested by the lfs owner, but they are always in the business of money. i wanna create turbulence but with the jets already in there i dont wanna smack the fish around. im sorry if i hijacked the thread but i feel like maybe it can help others wanting the rsm250

Try it out with both if too much, take one out and have it on hand as a back up or for when you put the one you use regularly in a vinegar bath and while its soaking you can put the other one to use.
