Makes sense since pretty much every package we ever get thru Fedex is trashed.
Always love the delivery guys answer of "Its not packaged correctly"
UPS has always done pretty good for us.
older model, Ill get a picture once I clean it some. Just dirty, no cracks or anything like that.
Just replaced the pump about a month ago with a Sicce 2500. I have two different needle wheels for it. I believe I have the orig pump also somewhere that was still somewhat working but was pulling high wattage. Probably just needed cleaning but replaced it anyways.
Just too small either way for my 300+ gallon setup.
120.00 bucks shipped which is basically the price of the pump and the extra needle-wheel impeller.
Just installed a SRO-5000 external on my 300 gallon and definitely impressed with it. I was way under sized skimmer wise with my old NW200 with the Sicce pump.
Would of went with the new XP 5000 skimmer but it was too tall by about 1/2". :(
I've done it with problem stuff, but I did it more of a liquid form, not a paste. You can also use lemon juice, makes it easier since its already made and ready to go.
Just dont go crazy trying to do the whole tank at once.
That would be the lightest semi truck ever. LOL
My 300 gallon is on my second floor, had a 400 gallon prior. However I have multiple support walls directly underneath. I wouldn't put something like that in the middle of the room with nothing under it.
I can't remember where I got the two of mine, but this is the brand and model I'm using. No issues.

I have three of the dual ones in my tank. They all three work fine, had some problems with the suction cups sometimes coming off but I glued one of the suctions cups to the coraline in my tank and has been holding fine now.
The three I have seem to always start the right way and I have yet to clean them. Completely quiet too.
I have a dual korilia and it hates to start in the right direction, go figure. Probably needs cleaned.
Its very easy to test it BTW. Since we sell residential systems of all types, I've tested a couple different Carbon filters and they both leach PO4. I keep meaning to test the bulk Carbon we get.
Blue LEDs on now.
VHO Actinics are running also but they do nothing compared to the LEDs.
Kinda hard to get a real accurate picture of it, but they really really glow. Especially the Acans and rics.
BTW, they put the new 24" model up on the site now.
