Update...

Hi all,

I have manage to fit in my DIYed filtering box with Tunze 9002 skimmer inside my 6 months old RSM tank .

Result is very promising as the DSB is show no sign of diatom liao :biggrin2: .

There is no more headace Microbubble issue N water is crystal clear compare to RSM original skimmer especially the top layer of the water :biggrinbounce2: !

Here come the picture...

All comments and feedback are welcome.

Talking about the lights in the hood

Paiseh..paiseh. ..more info...nanotuners

IMHO, Not worth to mod as the cost is too high even do it locally .

[gfishy]

My one moonlight is giving me some issues...It shines but only at like 2% of what it should...

How do one open the hood?

Hi gfishy,

Remove the top cover and lay it flat(inverted) on a working desk/table. Thereafter remove the plastic caps with minus screwdriver and the philips head screws will be revealed. unscrew it together with the 2 securing screw on the lights clip(yes remove the light cover and lights) and you got it.

However, might be difficult to replace the leds as you will need some electrical background and soldering work. Plus the purchase blue LED might not give you the actinic blue effect.

Propose you incorporate the Hydor blue/moon light into your setup to make things easier.... tat's what i am going to doing when my LEDs blow out.

LED is still working but it seems like it doesn't get enough power to light up...

hi bro,

do you still get micro bubbles from your DIYed IFS system? My RSM is having this problem and wonder how to solve this problem. By the way, do you make and sell or why can i buy?

tks

Hi kohray,

Welcome to RSM world..... :lol: !

For me, the MicroBubbles(MB) come from stock skimmer so I replaced to Tunze 9002 then problem solved .There are a few thingy that may cause MB such as too low water level at the last chamber, skimmer, 2 return pump, black sponge and the stock filter media. You have to isolate individual item to rectify which one is the culprit before countermeasure .

Regards to IFS system, it will not solve the mircobubble issue but instead doing the 1st layer filtering so that the debris will not struck/jam the skimmer pump and also purifying the water by the active carbon locate at the 2nd layer.

There are many world RSM reefers gathering at ReefCentral which they also facing MB issue and they do providing personnel experience for solving MB issue .

I would suggest you visit reefcentral to learn more and happy reefing
