JCBioCube29 Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 I got bored tonight so i decided to go picture happy. and I decided to clean my bioballs look at the crap i had in chamber 2.... After i removed about two layers of bioballs. Bioballs Rest of pictures :) and everyone is very nhappy in my tank. almost on my 3rd month and i have had no deaths. not in the pictures is a new purple slug. Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Thats some guck back there all right. You should try thowing some Bristle Worms or stomatellas as you find them in you 2nd chamber maybe that would help. Also use the ole turkey baster to blast your balls...crap did I really just type that...during your water changes. That should help keep the detritious build up to a minimum. Good to see the tank doing well. Link to comment

hypertech Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 If anyone has a dead ballast - please PM me. Link to comment
Deano Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Once again I will come to the defence of this product and the compnay that now owns it. On Dec 7 one of my ballast had died and I had posted request for another dead ballast so I could replace the stock ballasts with something of my own. DIY ballast project. In the mean time I sent an email to the company requesting a replacement ballast for the stock one that failed. Today as I was leaving my office for lunch the UPS truck pulls up. As I drove away I figured it was the Pony 2X36 ballast I ordered from Nanotuners to start my DIY project. By the way Nick is the best at Nanotuners, he anwsed several of my question leading to my DIY ballast project. Anyway back to my story. I get back to my office and open the box and to my suprise it was a factory Oceanic ballast from AGA. Thank you for the great service Oceanic. !!!!DIY ballast project still in the parts gathering stage. Still needing a dead ballast so I can maintain the factory hood connections.!!!! EDIT: Sorry JC didn't mean to imply you were say anything about the company. I ment to be posting this in the other thread that was questioning Ocieanic quality. Link to comment
JCBioCube29 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Service is great up the ballast have problems. When i spoke with them they asked me for a number in the bottom like a manufacturung ID# i guess it must be a really bad batch from china. In all I love my biocube Link to comment
