I got rid of my 125 in wall reef so many of you have seen but managed to keep a little cube tank with some frags for a few months .
I came across a deal I couldnt pass up for this RSM at $450 brand new including cabinet .
I always wanted one of these all in one tanks I once had a 12 gal eclipse but it was way too small anyway I installed 16 cree royal blue leds and 8 cool whites plus a royal blue led for a night light that is dimable the 4x 16 heatsink from rapidled fit perfect width wise came up short length wise but I knew that would happen and didnt mind.I had to add 2 computer fans on the heat sink and 2 more 50mm fans to help the 2 stock ones that suck air out of the light compartment . Everything in the light fixture works the way it did originally with the stock timer and when the lights go off the nightlight turns on automatically.
The only fish in the tank and the reason for this tank is a blue spot jawfish I picked up from Wingo . I was hoping to get a pair but I didnt even have the patients to see if the tank would go through a cycle and it is going through one .
I also added a vortech mp 10 , a intank media basket and a tunze 9002 that doesnt work apparently they got some faulty venturies so I have to wait for tunze to send me a new one thats why the lid on the tank is open I am temporarily using a sapphire aquatics skimmer that seems to be doing a good job and is built a lot better than the tunze .
Here's some pics
