I want to be one of the cool kids so I just ordered an AC70 media basket for my frag tank. I hope StevieT can get it shipped out Monday! Thanks!

Did you see the package UPS dropped off at my door today? While it was from Marine Depot, it would make you wish you didn't mail me anything. lol

 

What I really wanted was 15% off the media rack plus 10% off a Tunze nano ATO plus free shipping over $149. I spend so much money I don't like to pay for shit.

 

Seriously, thanks for shipping so fast.

I've got a problem with your delivery schedule... It's too fast I'll probably end up not sleeping because I'll want to get this thing installed and it will mess up my work schedule. I sure hope UPS beats the hell out of this box for a day or two until my work week is done. lol

I'm going to be pissed if UPS damages this box and my sweedish fish are dented. I'd have to demand a replacement.

call marine depot and bitch. We could care less. We kick the boxes as they are being loaded on the brown truck

 

WTF, my order is like 30 minutes from my house. Why the heck couldn't you walk it up to my doorstep today? I bet that box comes tomorrow with more dents then a 40 year old hooker.

I've got a pretty good idea which order is yours but most of PA is 2 days from us. LOL you must be on lame area that is 3 days lol there is even parts of NY that are 2 days. That's what you get for taunting that shipping gods.

 

Watch out what you wish for, we are known for shipping dead hookers.

I'm halfway between Philly & Reading so even a one legged tramp can find me.

Thanks, I'll have your mom call home when I'm done with her.

Arrived fast in great condition, thank you. I have to laugh because you actually did wrap it in the floss I ordered! Upon initial inspection I thought damn, this thing has more holes than a whore house but after I installed it I have a few concerns...

 

I've put your floss in, as well as 2 small filter bags, each containing a tablespoon of media which shouldn't have much influence on flow. I'm concerned that the basket doesn't support the flow generated by the AC70. With the filter at full power, the water level gets extremely high, the outflow holes have water above them indicating they are too small, and water flows freely out the overflow by the intake tube. This is with clean media so I would really be concerned once the media gets congested. If I lower the setting so that it creates less flow, it appears to manage it slightly better as the water level drops, but I still get a little water out the side overflow.

 

Let's just say that I'm glad that I don't have an expensive rug by this tank. StevieT, what are your thoughts regarding this?

Water flowing over the intake tube is normal, and expected. The media basket forces water through a certain path, and puts back pressure on the stock filter. Hagen designed this so that the filter would not overflow on your floor. Water is still entering the media basket and being pushed through the basket.

 

Make sure the AC70 is tilted towards the aquarium using the black piece on the bottom of the filter.

Thanks. It's tilted forward as far as the adjustment piece allows. I am familiar with the standard overflow prevention on HOBs.

Correction - I was able to move the adjustment a little more and confirmed it's position with a level. The water level has dropped slightly.
