Well... after detecting 33ºC (in other words the amount of heat the pumps generate)... I will probably go for a larger chiller... good news though Just happen that there's a piece of used Mini Arctica 1/15 lying around at Aquamarine, I brought it back... will give it a try... and let you guys know the result... then I can decide to stick to a 1/15 or upgrade to a 1/10

Perfect plan!

Futher update... my signature... MARKET PRAWN

Since I am not using live sand this time round... a bit of rotting meat will help fuel the bacteria colonization process

[jervismun]

Just picked a nice piece... but the stench was so unbearable after a couple of hours (probably due to the high temperature and high flow area)... I removed it from the tank

CF rock ?

Thanks bro... but to be a successful tank... it must be beyond looking good... seems like I am slowly discovering its limitations... read next posting

[jervismun]

When I went into my office this morning... this is what I discovered!!! Totally shocked by it

[jervismun]

What happen was... the water level at the back compartment fell by a few centimetres... all becoz of a clogged sponge That sponge (provided by Red Sea) is still quite clean I discarded that useless piece of sponge right away

The blackness you see is mainly from the activated carbon (provided by Red Sea)

[jervismun]

As a result I got water spray all over the hood... luckily the lighting area is sealed tight Or else... power trip for sure

So those who bought or thinking of getting the RSM... remember to discard the white sponge

[godzillaliu88]

replace the white sponge with the german blue sponge.

will it be better?

Yeah I will do that So smart

Here's the Mini Arctica 1/15 hp (on loan)... it's so tiny standing next to my Ikea stool

[jervismun]

I quickly ran the Mini Arctica (without water)... and it's really quiet... as expected actually

Still considering bro... probably going for artificial rocks too

seem like the RSM really provide all in 1 solution for the seahorses.

come to think about it , the CF tonga might be a better option for the seahorses =)
