I've had my BK 250 internal for 10 years. I just replaced the old pump with a new RD Speedy 50 watt DC pump. Works great and only goes to prove once again you get what you pay for. I got a decade of use from the old one.
The funnell you see on top of the skimmer is there to vent the exhaust outside. I do this because I use ozone and it also helps to keep the humidity down in my basement which is where my sump is located. You can also see the cup and tray the skimmer effluent pours into after it exits the skimmer. There is a carbon pad layered on the tray and again this is because I use ozone. Here is the latest video of my tank. It is a year and a half old now. https://youtu.be/OXlnNycoiJ0 Here is tour of the entire sump and fish room.https://youtu.be/qvKTg663RTo

Yes.. It's probably because you linked it from your gallery or something instead of photobucket.

Here is my new build; Red Sea Reefer 450.
I'm hoping to have this setup wet by next weekend... Can't wait! I color matched the sump and ATO Reservoir to match the Red/White color scheme of the Royal Exclusiv Double Cone 180 w/ RD3 50w, and the RD3 50w Return Pump.

Looking good but that little top off tank or refugium over the filter sock compartment will end up being a nightmare having it there. I think you will want easy access to those socks. If anything, I'd try to relocation that to have it over the return section and have The return line go under that little tank unless that sock tray slides out with both socks in it. If that's the case, then that would be convenient enough.

By design it's a ATO Reservoir, I'll use it for that for the time being.

Hello!
Im planning to put my tank to bedroom. Very concerning about noise from equipment. Some people suggest me to buy pumps and skimmer from Royale exclusive. Is it really quiet compare to other producers? |

Just got mine today! Initial impression is solid, very well crafted and sturdy. Cannot wait to get it running. Just about have it assembled, only have one question for now! The red tubing that comes w/ it attaches to the pump then we trim it to attach it to the black nipple thing on the skimmer. Correct?
Okay, one more question, are those just extra O rings that come in the pump box?? Corey |

So I need to connect the ozone line from the pump, to the nipple, then cap it off?
Or cap it off at the pump? Corey |

Corey,
The cap is included, and can be found placed on the upper 1/2 of the standpipe ozone port/nipple. -M
