I went to go change the time on my reef keeper due to the time change today and somehow where the bus cable plugs into the back of the head unit the female end came out completely breaking the very minimal solder on the 4 prongs. I can solder but not any where good enough to play around on a...
I dont know how you have your chiller plumbed but if it is in the main return loop with no bypass then all you need to do is unplug it. If you have it on its own pump circuit or if you can bypass the chiller then yes. Unplug it and drain it. Being that it is in your garage it will still get...
My girlfriend purchased a prewired t5 retro w/ 660 ballast from Ice Cap during the swap. She wants to be able to isolate the actinics from the daylights. I know I can add a on/off switch to the wires going to the actinics but is there a way that I can somehow get this on a timer? The retro only...
thanks for the input guys. I ended up training probably 120gallons of water, took out 3/4s of the rock and managed to move it over just enough to get the vortech in. I really hope these vortechs are awesome because my rock work looks terrible now and I actually liked the way it looked last time...
I know I should just call up ecotech but I guess I came down with a severe sinus infection over night, i feel like im dead and cant talk. Anyway I was trying to hook up my vortechs I got from the Frag swap this weekend. One of them works fine, the other was running fine for a minute or two but...
just wanted to get some input of how hard you think this is actually going to be. I need to move my 180 over to the left about 1.5 inches. this is an in wall tank with only a few inches of space on each side of the tank. It is sitting on smooth plywood. I am trying to minimize taking livestock...
i have had him for probably close to 2 months, hes eating rods food fine like always swimming around doing his thing. dont really think it is sand, im looking closer now and there is a couple bumps on his eyes too
Im thinking it is ick, not sure as I have never had it before. Overnight my powder blue tangs head(black part) is covered in white dots looking like salt so I am thinking it is ick. Not another fish in the tank has it. What plan of action should I take? I just got home now so there i am guessing...
In my opinion the bugs on my system are worked out. I only had tiny things in the begining such as the ID code for the pc-4s dissapeared, but it was a simple plug into the computer and reinstall the back up ID code which took about 5seconds. So far with their new firm out which is 1.07 things...
Well some of you know that I purchased an RKE and as most people are are running ACs i figured I would start a thread on here since it looks like im the resident RKE guy on here. At first after reading some reviews I hated the unit before I even starting using it. New firmware had to be...
I orginally wanted to have a CLS to be used as a wavemaker, but being that I didnt want to drill 10 holes in a Mass produced RR tank I decided just to have a spray bar setup to blow all detritus out from behind/underneath the LR. This worked great, but being new in the hobby at the time and not...
phil great idea, but still doesnt help for my spray bars as they are buried under the rock...I think basically it is a given that I need to get these pipes capped off... i guess now the big thing is since I need to empty a almost all of the water, move a lot of rock, livestock/corals is it worth...
