I meant RS180

With all the research I have done, I believe it to be a euro reef RS 250 with an Eco 1056 pump. I don't think this is going to handle my 300.

It's 25 inches tall if that helps?

It says Spears on the PVC pipes. Here is a picture of the lid.

This is it, I will see if I can find a better picture online.

My skimmer is rated for 1056 gph, is that adequate for a 300 gallon aquarium?

I have a refugium on my 220 and am now upgrading to a 300. The sump is 36 inches long (30 gallon) and has 3 (4 inch) socks. I also have two mp60'sfor flow. Is this sump large enough. Thanks Sloan

What do you brush them in?

Am looking to put an auto top off valve inside my 75 gallon. I don't have a sump and am looking for something that could go directly inside my tank. Don't care about looks as this is going to be a QT tank. Thanks

Well that sucks since you can't do Hyposalinity on them. What do you mean by a once over?

Have a 75 gallon tank an want to use it for 6 weeks to observe new fish I am purchasing. I plan on running it at 1.009 to kill any ICH they may have. My question is should I just do weekly water changed from my DT with added RO water, or use new salt and RO water? Also, should I put a sponge in...

I ran my DT through 8 weeks of Hyposalinity and plan on QT all new fish with Hyposalinity before adding them. Do I need to QT my invertebrates?

So how are you doing your hypo treatment? I assume you start your level at 1.022, add the fish, and than drop the level over the course of several days to 1.009. Is this correct?

I wrote this post way to late. ICH explodes at 1.009. I would highly recommend you dropping your salinity down 3 more points, especially if you are doing it for only 2 weeks. It's recommended that it be done for 4 to 8 weeks. I thought you were dropping it to 1.001 for some reason, now I see...

Just curious, why 1.01? ICH explodes at 1.09. I would think going that low will be more difficult on the fish when you bring the salinity back up to 1.25. Also, I would recommend 4 weeks to get rid of ICH.
