Great, this is the last thing I needed.... My little rio 600 that is used for my venturi style skimmer is making noise like i threw rocks into it. Does anyone have a rio600 that I could borrow? I am jobless as of right now, but hopefully I will have a new job today! I am having a rough time monetarilly, or else I would have gone to go buy vinegar already. It is a venturi style rio

I'm not sure if you can use them, but I have a little Rio 50 and a ViaAqua 480 you're more than welcome to borrow.

erik, if there is one thing I have taken to heart in this industry, it's not to ever ever ever ever ever ever ever put a RIO product anywhere near your tank.

the other day when I said a mag pump fried my tank? I had forgotten, it wasn't a mag, it was a RIO.

~ 20 coral colonies
~ assorted clean up crew
~ fire shrimp
~ dead sexy RBTA

all rio victims...

it takes a special talent to make a pump that will actually BURN under water... go look at melevs reef, he has photo documentation of some nice smoking water.


Rio = bad!
