Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
My suggestion would be to remain patient and let the cycle run it's corse unless you plan on adding more rock anyway. In that case I would add the rock as soon as possible because it's likely to cause another partial cycle from any die-off.
It takes time, but it's not something you want to rush...
True, I wouldn't have know I had a problem with the Hydor's if I had a ground probe and didn't get shocked. Guess it's good to get your hands wet even if it sends a tingle up your arm, lol :)
I got in touch with Hydor. The gentleman I spoke with was very helpfull. He told me to send the pumps back and they would replace them as soon as the get the ones I'm returning, so hopefully I'll have them back before the tank finishes it's cycle. He also told me that the new 2's, 3's, and 4's...
Happy Birthday!!
If you think turning 30 hurts wait until you hit 40. At 30 when your knees and back hurts it goes away after a few days. At 40 the pain lingers on and on and on, lol :)

Actually, I bought them about the time of when they were having problems, but I just got my new tank in the beginging of April so I didn't start using them until a few weeks ago. They seemed fine up to now. This just seemed to happen all of a sudden.
I sent an e-mail to the vendor I purchased...
Anyone else running Hydors notice them leaking voltage?
I was adjusting my skimmer a little while ago and put my hand in my sump and got a shock. I had my older son come down and pull the plugs on my heaters and pumps one by one to find out what was leaking voltage and the shock stopped when he...
Well, I knew what I was talking about, however my wife having never really seen a reef tank at the time (I don't consider my 55 a reef tank) had other thoughts until I explained more, lol :)
I believe you can still get corner overflows on AGA tanks. I know I had a choice of corner or back side overflows when I bought my tank from AO. That was only a few weeks ago.
