muntzor Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yep, came home to a similar sound. First purchase is a ATO for me. Looking at the smart ato. I'm blaming the Australian summer for the evaporation, but might just be normal. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Was at the Gym last night and came out to find someone had backed into this sign, causing it to fall on my (3) month old car. For those that followed along with my Spec V, you know I was in a bad accident 4 months ago only which wrote-off my 2013 STI Feeling really crappy today Quote Link to comment
deathbyart Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I know how you feel.. I just had a trailer hitch go into my car yesterday. I am half tempted to swap out for Golf R bumper now though. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lawnman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Tank and scape is looking awesome I like it. The propeller or something is off in that Sicce. I run the 2.0 in my Reefer and it's dead silent. Sorry to hear about your car. I am guessing that big ass truck behind you with the oversized hitch? 1 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Thanks guys, I think it was the truck, the evidence strongly points to that. Police + Insurance is now dealing with it, getting surveillance footage from the nearby businesses (Banks with tons of cameras I'm sure haha).. so hopefully it's okay. I'm very organized and quick with things, already have it going in at 3pm today for the damage estimate. 5 Quote Link to comment
RollaJase Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Oh dude that's crap! Some people just have o respect for other peoples things. I had to drive to work a few weeks ago and came out to find someone had opened their door into mine , big dent in the passenger side door. Need to try and pop it out a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 ouch, how bad was the damage? just the spoiler or trunk + bumper? 1 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Just got the damage assessed, $990 bill .. Not on me though, going through insurance and Police investigating into who caused the pole to fall on my car. 3 Quote Link to comment
RollaJase Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Geeze, that's nuts. Joys of a pearl paint though. I made my crash repairer respray my entire car when I had my damaged fixed, they tried to blend the respray and it looked like crap with the pearl finish . 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sorry about your car, might need to perform some curse lifting dance or something to get these car troubles out of your life for good. Nekkid dances always help. 2 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sorry about your car, might need to perform some curse lifting dance or something to get these car troubles out of your life for good. Nekkid dances always help. Thank you! Thanks to everyone, really appreciate it! I posted some more in depth details on my car over here if anyone wishes to read. TL;DR, Police were able to use all the evidence I gathered (which I was extremely diligent with), and were able to track down the suspect whom I believed did it and get them to confess what they had done. Kinda saddening to know people would try to get away with this, and turn a blind eye pretending they didn't do it. It should be getting dropped off in the next few weeks perhaps for repairs, and I have the most comprehensive insurance so I'm covered. Since they found the at-fault person, I don't have to pay which is the real blessing here. The tank is current cycling! Planning to do some tests tonight hopefully, I know the Prodibidio says you can add fish within ~24 hours, but I might wait a bit until I test and see. I might pickup a pistol shrimp again, he'll go with the YWG I have perfectly!! 5 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Alright, it's been 48 hrs since I've added the Prodibio cycle vials (x4).. Kh: 140 Ammonia: 0 or very very low Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Whoo! Now I wont come home to Niagara Falls in the back chamber each day !! About 2 cups of evap in 24 hrs! 4 Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Tank looks well planned the chemi pure is awesome. If you decide on the blue later it comes in nano packets too, each little packet treats 5 gallons and the come in bags of 5 I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment

spectra Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Did you order a pump along with the Hydor ir hopefully have one. The Smart ATO is the one to get for these nanos. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Did you order a pump along with the Hydor ir hopefully have one. The Smart ATO is the one to get for these nanos. I didn't! I hope it comes with one LOL... Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I didn't! I hope it comes with one LOL... Nope it is just a controler for a pump. Also the sensor on it is kind of big for the Nuvos but it should work you just need a pump to make it work. I do not run one on mine but if I d ever get one it will be the Smart one. Look it up it is small and had great reviews. 2 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have the Hydor and I agree, the sensor is big. I really don't care for the design of the sensor. And you definitely need the pump - most people get a Tom's Aqualifter. The new AutoAqua Smart ATO Micro is new and seems to be these best option for small AIO tanks at this time. If you can return the Hydor I'd recommend switching 1 Quote Link to comment
