 | I have had my rsm for about 6 weeks now and I think I could got a larger tank with a sump for the money I have spent on it just to get it at this stage. But you live and learn. Anyway the rsm is a nice tank the only problem I have with mine is the stock protien skimmer tha came with it sucks. I Have recently replaced it with a tunze nano 9002 and it has pulled three times the amount of crap out of the water in three days than the stock one did in 4 weeks. Other than that really no other problems. Plenty of room in the filtration chambers to mod it _________ 90 gallon reef project born 8-16-2009 |

   | I'm with RailRoader46. I've had my RSM for about a year now. Sharp looking tank but you can definitly do better from a price perspective. Spend a little more and you could have a tank twice the size. I have since retired this tank and now have a 120. The RSM was a good first salt tank for me. taught me a lot. _________  |

| T5 relates to the diameter of the lamp, as lamps are measured in 1/8's of an inch. T5 is therefore 5/8" diameter. The "Power Compact" relates to the fact that this style of lamp is different from a regular "linear" lamp. A Powercompact lamp has only one endcap and allows for far more illumination in a small area (eg: MAX lamps are approx 23" long and each one is 55watts, where as a regular T8 linear lamp would be around 20watts. Additionally the PC lamp is actually 2 tubes together so its possible to have 50/50 white and Actinic. Hope this helps |

| It is already in Florida but you really need to ask your LFS as they can't keep them in stock. People are ordering them faster then they get them in. CA |
