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.
First off welcome to NJREEFERS! I like the look of the tank....the horseshoe look of the rock.
However, I do have a couple concerns, but maybe unjustified. You stated "we just set up our new biocube," and then state that you added the clowns. Did you allow the tank to cycle or at a...
Looking good!
Before everything gets growing in there, you might want to try drilling the rock pieces with a masonry bit and using plastic coat hanger pieces to re-epoxy the structure back together. I will state that you do take the chance of breaking up the rock with the drill, especially if...
Good catch John.....you are correct, the $95 is for the ES to the WQD. However, I still don't understand the difference in the two 50 dollar options??? Unless you use the RF module on the old WES on the new WQD.
Now as far as the RF module and the wireless option, I get it. I don't have the RF modules. However, what I don't get is that Ecotech sells three upgrade kits:
MP10ES to MP10QD - $50 (Item # MP050)
MP10WES to MP10WQD - $50 (Item#MP051)
MP10WES to MP10WQD - $95...
Brian, (@Fish Brain ) that would be fantastic! What do you need in the way of corals....I can bring them up to you. I have a ton of orange/red monti, purple monti, Downbeach Bird's nest, Pink Lemonade (if I can cut it), A green plating and branching thing with (I think} red background...
@Mark_C and @Fish Brain thank you for the response and offers.
I have found that it is definitely the driver that has crapped out. Plugged in a borrowed driver and it lit up, and the powerhead started spinning like normal.
Mark, you are very generous, but I'm going to hold out and hope to...
My guess is just the driver. I would have thought these things were a dime a dozen with the upgrades to QD. I won't know for sure until tomorrow, when I get a borrowed MP10 to use to diagnose the actual part that's crapped out. I could see if the dry side seized up, it could have fried...
I'm figuring folks are upgrading to QD drivers and have their old drivers sitting around. Mine crapped out and noise isn't an issue since it's in the sump. Please let me know what you have. Thanks
Realize that this MP10 was in a sump that measures approximately 17" x 17" x 12" deep. I don't think the Gyre would be strong enough!!!!! :eek: :p
Thanks for the offer Brandon, but I'm looking for a person wanting to upgrade to QD and make back some of that expense. :D
Ed, I'm in the car right now to come over and whip you silly with a wet noodle! :grin:
Kevin, it actually clips in with a little hook....and it was checked and hooked well. Actually disconnected and reconnected and nothing.
Mike the power supply is putting out 24 volts. I also switched...
Why does something bad always happen when you're on vacation. I just got home after spending a week+ touring Arizona, and come home to an MP10 not working. It is out of warranty, so that's not an option. Haven't looked into it real hard, but here's what I know. The controller is receiving power...
I'm certainly no expert, but think the temperature of the water and the fact it's in a creek......you might wish to call Marine Mammal Rescue and see what they say.
