the deacon Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hey all I have an AQ500 on the way and am planning on doing Steve961' mod. One question I have it how far from the fuge intake is good for the acrylic baffel (ie. what is the actual dimensions of the fuge?) Does it matter or does the flow rate into the fuge change as you move the placement of the acrylic. Any opinions are welcomed. cheers deacon Link to comment
Fido Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I was thinking of doing this before finding this thread. I never knew there was a surface skimmer attatchment, but now I'll have an AC500 plus surface skimmer attatchment on the way for my 20L Link to comment
sea-horsea Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 it works really really good Link to comment
sabby02 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 With a refugium using the Aqua clear 500 what does everybody do as far as mechanical filtration? Do you use a sponge inside the refugium? Link to comment
Juanton80 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 May sound like a stupid question, but where is everyone getting the piece of acrylic on the ac 300 mod from? I can't find a good piece of material to use. Link to comment
rkplucker Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I just cut apart the media crate that came with it. I used the side piece and just had to shave the sides a bit to make it fit. I cut one of the solid pieces from the bottom and siliconed it over the hole. May be ghetto but no purchase necessary and works great! Link to comment
Siejuban Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 My AC300 refug had been up for a few month, I had put some macro algae in it, but not last long. Last time, I put some macro (not sure if this is for feeding), and they are gone in 2 weeks, seemed like eaten by the pods inside the refug. So I transfer some macro algae from my main tank, hope it will grow in the refug, for 2 weeks now, they are still there and still showing their green color, think they are surviving. Anyone, has success to tranfer macro from main tank to AC300 (or AC500) and growing? Link to comment
xdannyx_ Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Juanton80 if you still need the acrilic for the fuge, i just went to wall mart and bought a super cheap picture frame and used the acrylic from that and used a blade and score and snapped it. worked perfect.... BUT I AM STILL LOOKING FOR MACRO (CHEATO ACTUALLY) AND STUFF FOR MY FUGE, DOES ANYONE FEEL LIKE GIVING ME SOME AT A LOW PRICE PLEAAAAAAASE Link to comment

dhoffroad Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 here is a little light for the AC fuges http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...80685post280685 Link to comment
Mainframe562 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Here's my AC300 on a JBJ Nano Cube. Right now its filtering my tank and once I get my chaetomorpha which is next week, it will be converted to a refugium. Link to comment
Mainframe562 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Here's my aquaclear 300 fuge all set up and running. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums//showthrea...?threadid=34071 Link to comment
Markster Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 2 questions on the lighting for the fuge (sorry if this has been answered already elsewhere): Does the light need to run on the fuge 24/7? Is lighting the fuge a must? Link to comment
dyceskynes Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 you need a light for the macro to grow. Go on either a 24 hour cycle or a 12 hours cycle oppsite the main tank. Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 does anyone know if the 50W ebo jager heaters fit in the AC500 vertically? Link to comment
AnotherLousy1 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I also have a question in regards to, what if the Aquaclear 300 or 500 quits, would your heater still be safe? I'm working on trying to set up a 10 gallon nano reef and when I saw this thread jumped up and down for joy and then the bad side of my brain started thinking, "Hmmm, with a submersible heater, what would happen if you lost water in the AC 300/500?" Just a curiousity question. Thanks AnotherLousy1 Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 heaters are cheap. I would be more worried about a heater getting stuck on or dying. Link to comment
AnotherLousy1 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Actually, I was thinking more about burning up my house, rather than just replacing the heater ... heater gets too hot without being submersed in water, it overheats, yadda yadda yadda. (Same basis if it gets stuck on, etc) Anyway, just curious if anyone had thought about that. Thanks AnotherLousy1 Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I think most of the fair-to-decent ones automatically shut off it they overheat. Doesn't mean it works though! Link to comment
