My Alife 7 Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 I had a problem with my tank yesterday... For some reason, my lights didn't turn on... I plugged it into a bunch of different outlets but nothing... I took it back to the LFS that I bought it from and they were shocked that it wasn't working. Instead of taking a look at the lights to see what the problem was, they just opened up a brand new box and took the hood out of that one and just gave it to me!! Told me not a problem, that I have a 1 year warranty with the store!! If anything happens to the hood or if the tank leaks or anything, they'll replace right then and there for free!! YEEAAAH!!

This is addressed to everyone who owns an ALife tank or anyone who is going to purchase one in the near future. I'm only quoting My ALife 7 because he brought it up. I was talking to my LFS about how great these tanks were and how I have never had any problems with it. He was surprised to hear me say that because all that ALife tanks that he has sold have had problems with their lights not turning on at some point in time. All these tanks were having problems except for mine. He believes that the light fixtures used for these tanks are very fragile. It turns out that most of the light problems occurred a little after the hood was handled incorrectly in most of the returned tanks. I know I have had trouble a few times with my hood slipping from my grip and slamming down onto my tank. Owners of these tanks should try to handle the hoods and fixtures very carefully to prevent these light failures. Link to comment
My Alife 7 Posted May 1, 2002 Author Share Posted May 1, 2002 Thats true, for the people who have these tanks, you know that if you try to keep the hood open when holding the little opening part of the hood (the place you open to feed..) that it could potentially slip out of your hand and SLAM right back onto the tank. It did happen to me and I think that's why the light didn't work... I always lift the hood by gripping its side now so it won't slip from my hand and slam back on to the aquarium. Link to comment
Cam barr Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 or just use the little holder open thingys lol Link to comment
My Alife 7 Posted May 4, 2002 Author Share Posted May 4, 2002 Here's the latest pic of my tank. I just recently added some green star polyps, my first ever coral! Link to comment
ksatterwhite Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I don't have any personal experience with the Alife 7, but I did read a post from another MB about problems with the lighting. They indicated that the fixtures will, over time, rust due to moisture. One person posted that he took the hood apart and some screw and other parts were all rusted. I think Kent Marine make a product for salt creep. I think it's Salt Creep Eliminator. I wonder if this was sprayed on the equipment in the hood...would this take care of that problem.

My Alife 7 Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 I've only had this tank for about 2 months but I haven't seen any signs of rusting. The only part of the lights that has any type of moisture on it is the plastic thing covering the lights and even that barely has any moisture on it. Link to comment
Sahin Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Wow, that is a cool tank, nice features! And your setup looks very nice too. Link to comment

Cam barr Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 hey alife i took out the whitesediment filter cuz i think that was causing some problems do u still have yours in also what else do u add i add saliflert calcium and kent marine buffer any thing else i should add cam Link to comment
My Alife 7 Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 I actually have been using a different filter pad for a while now cause the white one got to old and dirty. I just bought a different filter pad at my LFS in it's place. I currently use seachem reef complete calcium, reef plus vitamin supplements, and seachem iodide. I'm also placed a pouch of Phos-X in the back sump to help keep the nitrates and phosphates low. Link to comment
Cam barr Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 WHATS THE FILTER PAD LOOK LIKE WHO MAKES IT ECT... WHAY DO U ADD IODIDE TO HELP CORALINE AND STAR POLYPS CAM Link to comment
