Anybody have any experience with the standard rsm 250 skimmer can't seem to get mine to skim properly end up messing around with it for ages trying to get it to skim properly any tips would be handy or if anyone could recommend a decent replacement that will fit the rsm250 tank/sump at, or has one for sale maybe uk based preferably.
Thanks in advance

Yeah,
If it's a 250 Max AIO with the T5 lighting, their skimmers were terrible to keep tuned in.

We used to drop in the Deltec MC500, back in the day.

Deltec MC500 Multi Compact Protein Skimmer

The MC500 Multi Compact Skimmer is the ideal model for those with little space in their tank or sump or for fitting inside a Jewel Aquarium without modifying the lights.

The Tunze 9004 fits just about perfectly in the back skimmer chamber without modification if you use the included magnets to attach it to the left return chamber.

Do you have any pictures? I'm trying to replace my ghost skimmer.

Keep in mind that this is the original model.
