Rural Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 how do you access the modular racks? Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Great to see you still going strong! how do you access the modular racks? Looks like they lift out Link to comment
braaap Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 how do you access the modular racks? Great to see you still going strong! Looks like they lift out Good luck getting your hand down that tiny chamber. OP - Have you thought about including the silicone? You can buy the cheap small tubes of the aquarium safe stuff and include it for an extra charge. Just an idea. Link to comment

You can buy the cheap small tubes of the aquarium safe stuff and include it for an extra charge. Just an idea. Yeah, I mean, I can barely work in the back of AIOs anyways and my hands aren't huge. It would be difficult to get those out if you do have to lift them, especially with the rim of the tank. I guess you could use forceps or something? Link to comment
Oceanbox Designs Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 how do you access the modular racks? Each rack can be lifted out, however for regular maintenance you only need to remove the 1st rack to replace media in the 2nd, and remove 2nd to replace media in the 3rd. You don't ever need to remove the 3rd rack unless you need to clean the bottom off detritus settling in over time. This is one downside of having an AIO in a rimmed tank, but as tibbsy mentioned, you can use a forceps to grab it. There is a center hole in each rack designed to use for finger lift. For me I used these filter media in this order in my 12L tank setup. 1. Blue Filter Pad (replace 10-14 days) 2. Carbon (replace 10-14 days) 3. Phosguard (replace every 2-3 weeks) Link to comment

Looks like they lift out Thanks, I'm trying hard to keep up Good luck getting your hand down that tiny chamber. OP - Have you thought about including the silicone? You can buy the cheap small tubes of the aquarium safe stuff and include it for an extra charge. Just an idea. The silicone is easy enough to get so I don't have to keep them in stock because sometime they get dried up if not used in a short period of time. Link to comment

Oceanbox Designs Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 thanks, that's what i thought. look slick, maybe i'll rec to a friend that wants to take dance in saltwater and test the shallows... That said, I would still be able to build a custom AIO kit with slightly larger media racks so it will be easier to access, but it will not allow the use of the Tunze 9001 obviously because the middle chamber will be narrower. You still have skimmer options with the Aquatic-life 115 or MAME. Link to comment
Oceanbox Designs Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Tunze 9001 skimmer and Aquaticlife Mini 115 skimmer fitment. I'm surprised the Tunze fits with the cover on. TUNZE 9001 AQUATICLIFE 115 Link to comment
Msouls1977 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I just got my aio conversion kit today for a 20 gal long. It looks great and feels very sturdy. The top 2 racks are not too difficult to get in and out with my hand but the third is tricky. I happened to have a 12 inch pair of forceps and that makes it very easy for all 3 racks....

Msouls1977 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I work in a research lab and we have tons of them laying around. I'm sure a quick Google search will point you in the right direction though. Link to comment

Here at NR we all know how great your quality is, was just a matter of time until everyone else found out. Bad part is, my wait time for a new project is gonna be long! Lol. Thanks Marc! I'm sure it's just a matter of time but that's what I don't have...lol. At some points, I didn't think I could do continue doing this but I pushed through with all the support here on NR. Your tank is going to be perfect once everything is done, it's part of the planning game, but you play it so well it does't want to be over...haha Link to comment
