Nanofreak79 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It was supposed to be brand new when they shipped it. I had the same issue when I had mine. First they sent a wet side, then a dry when the first didn't work. They were cool about helping me though, didn't pay for them. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah, they were cool to deal with last time. They gave me the new dry side for $175 instead of $240 But really, shit happens. There's bad eggs that slip through even the best of the best of companies, so I'm usually not bothered too much by stuff like this. Link to comment
Acielot Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 As long as they make a decent effort to help you out, any company can be good in my books. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yep, just don't use reefs2go, they'll #### you every which way till Sunday. Sorry i had to add that.....still fuming from them stealing my money, and paypal giving me the finger. Ecotech takes care of there customers. I even had premium aquatics send me lenses for my radion for free, because they messed up on my ordering and time frame. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 By the time I got home yesterday and got some things finished so I could move the 25g of water I had already in my garbage can, I could only make another 8g or so. :/ Tonight, though, I'm gonna clean up the sump and skimmer (vinegar? bitch please, muriatic acid will get it done in two minutes ), plumb them in, and get this beyotch rockin'. Lights or no lights! (well, ok, there will be light from CFLs, but you know what I mean ) I just texted Dave to find out where the mount holes are on the light so that I can go ahead and get the ceiling holes drilled and hardware into place to get everything hung. In other news, the little window A/C I have in my mancave (where the tank is now) can't seem to get the compressor to fire up. If my house A/C system is set to 74F, that room will be 78 minimum, and if I go in and turn on my computer and use it, it gets to 82-84F. Now with intense light and pumps and such, that room is gonna be BAKING. Link to comment

Lights or no lights! (well, ok, there will be light from CFLs, but you know what I mean ) I really want to start using muriatic acid to clean my skimmer, I've about had it with waiting all day for vinegar to take effect. Is there a particular type or brand of muriatic acid that you use? How much do you dilute it? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 I do a 10-1 solution. Obviously, it needs to be outside (no exceptions) and you need to be wearing thick gloves, full eye protection, and a face mask so you don't inhale anything. It takes just a couple of minutes to do its thing, but be absolutely sure you don't leave pumps or anything in for longer. Once the couple of minutes is up, dump in baking soda (and I mean dump it in, be liberal about it, it's dirt cheap) to neutralize the acid. As for brands, they're all gonna be the same. Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Link to comment
natalia_la_loca Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Great, thank you for the tips I've got all that stuff except the muriatic acid. Will give it a try next time the skimmer is due for cleaning. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Just treated myself to a new soldering iron (Weller WLC100 station), another chisel tip (ST2), some no-clean flux, tinner, polishing bar, and a couple of other goodies. I've gone so long with a crappy soldering iron with no station for it, shitty tips, and having shitty solder joints, it's about time I sprung for some quality equipment. Link to comment
