StevieT Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Still a phenomenal build here... Did you get your handle for the reservoir pull out at Lowes? I'm pretty sure I got the same ones for my kitchen. Handle came from la Home Depot. Answered the rest on your thread, sorry didn't see this sooner. How do you like the InTank media baskets? Just picked them up on a FS thread. Also in your write up you took out the stock "Y" from your return pump. Do you like this setup better? Are you running two pumps now? hehe. I really like them, they are well made but the customer service from their company is really shitty. I wanted one, and I had to walk over to a shelf and pick them up. They didn't ship to my door or anything, talk about crappy service I had to go get them myself. I don't' know, my water seems wetter with their products, but I think that is a marketing gimmick of theirs. I ran the stock pump when mixing salt in the tank, then put the two Eheim's in when I set it up. So I really don't know what is better, as I never ran the Y. I know I have a lot more room in that chamber now for other things, say a skimmer someday if I don't want to use their unit. Without the Y seems a lot better to me, and I can control the pumps individually with the RKL. oh, and if you didn't get the humor from my bonehead customers responding, I am inTank. And this IM16, is in the inTank global headquarters. 5 Quote Link to comment

LMAO Well I am glad to me you, build looks great and I am going to try your method and see how it works! Quote Link to comment
Chrisl1976 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 You had to walk over and get one? What kind of assistants do you have working there? You are the president of inTank. Your biggest decision should be blonde or brunette and which island to spend the weekend on. 1 Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 True, but no common worker here is allowed to touch the aquarium. Even blondes or brunettes! Quote Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Scape looks like shit, IMO. Agreed. Maybe a crappy scape for a satelite office in Jakarta, but Jeeez this IS the global office. Quote Link to comment

Eckozulu Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hey Stevie, u got a hook up to pre-order the nuvo 24? Maybe a package deal with some baskets? Quote Link to comment
kennywiz Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hey Stevie, u got a hook up to pre-order the nuvo 24? Maybe a package deal with some baskets? To further jack this thread... NO! They need to get the JBJ baskets out first. Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hey Stevie, u got a hook up to pre-order the nuvo 24? Maybe a package deal with some baskets? Nah, everyone will have them at the same time. The IM30/38 baskets will fit that aquarium though. Quote Link to comment
Confuse Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I probably completely missed this on the thread but....did you build that stand? I'm looking for a stand for my Nuvo 16 without much luck. Quote Link to comment

I'm looking for a stand for my Nuvo 16 without much luck. Nope. It's the IM38 stand. They didn't make one for the 16 but the 38 is the same width. Quote Link to comment
JR! Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 hey stevie could you make me a sticker like you have around your rkl. i was gonna mount mine the same way. thanks man Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hey, the fancy characters in your thread title is preventing me from reading the thread, at least on Firefox. When trying to change pages I get a re-direct error. Ahhh. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I am getting that as well, I couldn't get back into here until you posted. I sent a note to Chris. I've been using the alt characters for years so I don't think it's that, maybe so they keep disappearing now. But since I am back in here maybe the server error has passed. Quote Link to comment
Kfmmartin19 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Stevie, how do u like the RKL? I hear that the Apex Jr is so much better but do u think its really worth the extra $110? Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Stevie, how do u like the RKL? I hear that the Apex Jr is so much better but do u think its really worth the extra $110? The RKL almost ended my RSM with a temp probe failure. Now there are other backups you have to manually program yet didn't know that at the time. I have never used an Apex but would buy one next. The RKL does the trick, just have a sour taste in my mouth from that incident and how they handled it. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/221476-you-reef-keeper-temp-probe/ Quote Link to comment

Ambient temp in the room my tank is in is always in the mid 70's but still this scares me. Quote Link to comment

Ambient temp in the room my tank is in is always in the mid 70's but still this scares me. You don't need a second probe. There is an automatic override option in the programming. It is listed later in that thread linked above. So the heater will be I and rely on its own thermostat in case of this error. Problem IMO is it should come as a factor default, don't know about today but the directions that came with mine were only about 3 pages. Quote Link to comment
