WV Reefer Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Quick set up straight out the box Next to the 12 Long Testing the heater and pump. Very quiet. My hood arrived broken and will have to be replaced. Light will still work but isn’t very stable. I’m going to let it run for a day or so to check for temperature stability and then it will be time to mix water and add rocks! Yay!! 😃 4 2 Quote Link to comment

Wingy Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I hope the company is sending a replacement. Is the damage something that can be fixed with superglue for now? 1 Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hopefully this is not a sign of difficult times ahead but I emailed the company regarding the broken part with pictures and they asked for packing photos. I did not take packing photos other than a picture of the box. They said I could skip the claims process and just pay to have it shipped to me. 🙄 Quote Link to comment

It's been on for a few days and the temperature has at most gone up by a couple degrees. I've contacted them to see what they can do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Mine is holding at around 74......... not ideal but steady for now. At first it shot up to 80 and then settled back down. Quote Link to comment
specore Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Wow, that is tiny. Never heard of these before but am sure a miniatus grouper would look great in there 🙂 Accompanied by the obligatory clownfish pair...of course 2 1 Quote Link to comment

But the last week the temps outside have been crazy up and down so Im sure some of that is the reason. 1 Quote Link to comment
