Chris! Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Tanks already filling in nicely and only been up what a day or two Won't be long and it will really be jammin Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Now I just need to be patient and watch my sps color back up. I accidentally messed up my percentages on my light and didn't realize it until I seen my sps looking like crap and all bleached out. There slowly coming back! Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Just finished hooking up DJ power bars to replace my RKL system. When I moved the tank the controller went all wonky. When I turned off the power in feed mode, the outlets would come on randomly while some blink. I only own a Mac, so it's impossible to use there software. I've also tried a full reset of the system twice. Digital aquatics is about as useful as a bull with tits. I've called and emailed for a week now with no response. I think I'm going to try and use the Neptune system controllers. Link to comment

Or get a cheap laptop and try fixing the controller then return the laptop the next day. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Do you think many run without controllers? I've always used RKL's except for one tank where I owned an apex. I don't have money for two apex systems. I thought about buying a cheap laptop. I have a laptop, but it's got the blue screen virus going on. I'm mad I have so much invested in there systems.

Nanofreak79 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Been up all night.....had to figure this out. I finally got my RKL's working! I used my kids desktop to update and clear all the modules. Whatever I did worked, and all modules and systems are working. Link to comment

Nanofreak79 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Ordered a new skimmer. My BM curve 5 just doesn't have the proper water depth to work properly. Should be here Saturday. Stay tuned! Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Got my new skimmer......it's a lot smaller than I envisioned. I'll most likely buy the larger model and put this one in my z and p tank. Idk, for now it's a skimmer that works. My BM didn't have enough water height to work. Can't complain too much for the $89.00 I paid through amazon.http://flic.kr/p/nVV6Cj][/url]http://flic.kr/p/nVV6Cj]20140705-110334-2 by -Nanofreak79-[/url]http://flic.kr/p/nVUSoW][/url]http://flic.kr/p/nVUSoW]20140705-112123-3 by -Nanofreak79-[/url] Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Love the skimmer mane. I really like the look of those and heard the performance is pretty good. How big is it ? Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 4x7x18" roughly. It's a little smaller footprint than the BM I had, but I've heard good things and the price was right. I'm gonna mail out your skimmer on Monday.....or today if my lazy azz can get over there. Lol Link to comment
Chris! Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 SCA.... blah. Thoroughly disappointed in mine Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm gonna go ahead and like that. Lol. I expected a bigger skimmer honestly, yes I know it shows dims. My BM wasn't producing any skim even with raising the water level as much as I could for the sump. I don't have the cash for the skimmer I wanted and for one that works in shallow depths. I have a high bio load so no skimming is bad for me. Hopefully this breaks in and does the job for now. It fits in my ten gallon sump which is where it'll go when I get a better skimmer. I've read lots of good reviews? I dunno, fine for now. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hahaha oh come on ya bummmm !!! It's all good man,whatever works. I'm sure with what give got in the tank,it'll break in and create skim real quick. All will be well in the zoa garden. Link to comment
