Unfortunately, I am going to have to drop out of the contest :(

 

If you have been following along in my thread, I recently purchased a Hydor Hydrotherm temp controller. It worked for a few weeks, but when I got home yesterday, I noticed that the red light wasnt on and the temp of my tank dropped to below 60 degrees. I panicked and plugged the heater in the wall (its the set temp stealth heater rated for up to 3 gallons). Well, it raised the temp to over 90 degrees and fried the whole tank.

 

It was fun while it lasted. I'll be in the next contest for sure!

Unfortunetly it is too late enter. It would be unfair to the people who signed up on time and I think it would be an unfair start to you.

 

I'm sorry. maybe next time :)

How many of you guys use Chemi pure elite in your Pico systems? I just ordered some and was planning on placing it in my HOTB filter. I have only been running the filter as a means to circulate the water but thought adding some CPE would be a nice added benefit. Also if I use it should I put some filter floss before it so I can change that out every few days or since the CPE has a nitrate reducing factor dont worry about it and just toss it in alone...?

 

Thanks for any input

I know its a long way off but is there a cut off date for stocking the tanks? I may have read it on another contest's thread but thought it was a great idea and wasn't sure if a deadline had been implemented on ours.
