found the skimmer, now I need the pump! Would also consider a 900 as well

Must be a nano, Mj 900 or smaller pump. Willing to pay $80-90 based upon condition and age.

no, much too small

after some interest, this is still available

still available. updated prices on original thread.

Soooo... Still have the #1? I'd like to trade my 6025 for a #2 or #1. Todd

This appears to be an original aqua controller circa 1997. They are now at version III. It might be feature equivalent to the Jr version out now. I'm guessing it might be worth $75. Get the manual here: http://www.neptunesys.com/manuals.htm

I just shipped a Ca Reactor and my Maristar 24in pendant DHL ground, both going to FL. I guess I''ll hear from the buyer if there is an issue. They are the cheapest, which isn't saying much apparently. Did you know DHL was/is the German post office??

Thanks for the offer! I am already thinking of a top-down photo box or something similar. I'd like to place my web cam IN my nano cube, so I was thinking about a shallow rectangle that would mount to the hood to house the cam, and when the hood was closed the bottom would just breach the waters surface, so it would not be visible from outside the tank. Only problem is that the web cam would have to be sealed into the box and the wire hole sealed with silicone. I wonder if the MH would interfere with the WiFi signal. I was dreaming this up a couple months back then realized I would never take the time to try to construct such a contraption. Hmmmmmmmm....???

I have 4 and a quarter 16oz bottles of this stuff. Bought it from another reef for I forget how much. I have no idea what it sells in stores for. I'm guessing each container is $3? Would $8 be too much? How about a frag?

there is an alternative. http://www.fishbowl-innovations.com/products they sell a $199 kalk reactor and a $99 ATO with dual float switches and a solenoid valve, so you don't need a pump or it can control your RO unit! I have one sitting in my basement right now, was going to use it on a basement tank but not I'm not sure if i need it. On my 28g I have an aqua-medic niveumet (sp?). On thing I don't understand about kalk for top-off. Who is to say your evap rate matches your need for kalkwasser? I ran the fishbowl reactor driven by my nievemat and had a kalk storm within days. I had too much kalk in the reactor, granted, but what if your supply of ions outpaces your demand? I have personally used the kent float switches and don;t trust them for RO shutoff. Maybe for gravity flow they are more reliable, but you need redundancy! If you flood your tank with kalk everything dies. Don't try to save $50...

Well that's exactly it. Did an electrician pull new wire for the tank? if so he should be shamed, as he should have used 12 gauge wire (yellow, not white) for a 20A circuit. I'm guessing it wasn't inspected so he cut a corner? A 15A circuit can only handle 15A * 110V = 1650 Watts. Your lights, although rated at 1600W, probably pull a little more than rated (heat, inefficient, long run of cable perhaps, draws more current on startup, etc). So if you really want them on one circuit you have to replace the wire with 12 gauge wire and then replace the breaker with a 20A breaker. A 20A circuit can handle 20A * 110V = 2200W. Since you have GFCI at the wall outlet that's great, no need for GFCI at the breaker. But there is really no reason to have them all on one circuit. If you have two 15A circuits in the fish room then you can handle 3300W of total power which should be plenty for everything. I guess you don't get to have all your light controls or timers all on one side of the room. Are you using a DC8 or RK2? I wonder what their max loads are. Also X10 may not talk across circuits nicely either, or pump noise can scramble the signals. tank looks good BTW!

i'm on a mac too. Strange, firefox for mac formats differently that windoze? Does everyone have the latest firefox build?

I'd take the small Oregon Tort and a Purple Acro frag

have you tested it in Safari? There seems to be formatting issues with Safari. Just tested it with firefox and the issues are the same. So either it is a widespread issue (can't try IE), or it is only affecting firefox and safari BTW: looks great!! (clap)

I have too many clams for my small tank and would like to add some acan, blastos, or micros to my tank. I'd like to trade either of these clams: I was thinking a one for one trade as these clams would be similar price to acans and micros in stores

How many people have tanks in their basement? This is the only place in my house that would fit / support a large tank. but I fear I would not be down there enough to monitor conditions and would not maintain it as diligently as a tank on the main floor. Did anyone else experience this? Otherwise the basement is an ideal area, cool temps and spill friendly (relatively) with access to plenty of areas to mess up and store stuff.

bluecheese, what is the breaker rated for and what gauge wire and length did he install for it? Does the breaker have ground fault or GFCI protection? Check you ballast, hopefully it will have the power requirements on it, IE 110V and 4A or something like that. I need to know that as well and I can tell you if he set you up correctly. A electronic 400W ballast pulls about 3.5 amps, and an HQI ballast can pull as much as 5.5 amps. A standard 400W ballast pulls about 4A. I'm guessing you may have a 15A breaker? With three 400s on you are drawing at least 12A so adding any extra light and you inly have 3A to spare. Do you have 300W of VHOs?

thanks. still frag central after 6 months... nows its time to just sit back and let it grow and stop putting my hands in the tank.

here here!my piece was HUGE!! thanks for the GSP too! Jay is a great guy. Next time I'm bringing him a frag...

i have parallels but my AcJr does not have the serial port. web interface would be awesome.

a few I am looking for include: armor of god zoas Purple death palys other stricking zoas sunset monti tri-color/ bonsai acro and other LE and rare SPS I'm open to others as well. Willing to pay up to $30-40 a frag depending on size / number / rarity

love your SPS!
