I purchased my 8800 from H20. The one you are talking about for $75 is the 6800. Make sure the 6800 will work for you. I'm not sure of the difference, I think it may be the size of the fittings. From the descriptions:

Both the ones on Filter Guys and BRS are the same pump and require you to buy a transformer for $28 or $24. If your comfortable with ebay I bought one earlier this year from an ebay dealer, while this link does not go to the same guy I bought from here it links to another dealer selling the...

Any ACIII users have an auto top-off with float switches set-up with your controller? I'm wanting to set-up something simple and some examples would be helpful.

You say the tang is the oldest member of your tank, how long has the BSJF been in the tank? As an option maybe you can put the Pacific Blue in a QT tank for a few weeks to give the BSJF a chance to get settled. I'd say that the Naso, Blond Naso, and Vlamingii are not good recomendations for...

Are you hearing any rattling sounds. I have a magnetic drive panworld pump which I think is supposed to be very similar to the Iwaki pump. Last month I found myself in a similar situation where the pump sounded like it was running fine but it just was not pumping much water. Although I did...

I know this is a old thread but I figured I'd add something in case somebody else comes across it while searching for info. I came across this thread while searching for info about why I'm seeing more Vermetid snail tubes in my tank. I also recently started using Selcon in my tank. Like...

I'm running 4 ATI aquablue specials and 3 ATI Blue +'s in my fixture. My tank is a new set-up but I read a lot of good reviews from users on the ATI bulbs. I got my bulbs from Premium Aquatics too. The bulbs were packaged well and the price was fair.

Thanks trichome! I may jump on the live aquaria deal after I verify the LFS does not get one in with their weekly shipment on Tuesday.

I'll start asking about that as I make my rounds to the local stores over the next few weeks.

Thanks for posting. But something about that site does not sit well with me. They don't show a physical address for the place. I googled the phone number and found another homemade website on geocities selling aquarium stuff with a different name.

I'd like to add a bluespot to my tank but I'm wondering if I can do better than the $150 I'm seeing on BlueZoo and Live Aquaria. I'd prefer to buy local but I've checked a few LFS's around me and nobody currently has one. Has anybody seen and online retailer with a deal? Sadly I missed...

Thanks for the response. Only reason I'm wanting to use the bio-wheel is because I already have it. If you feel the sponge filters will be better. I'd gladly go that route. How cheap is a sponge filter.

I'm slowly getting my new tank going and I'm trying to work out the details on my QT. My DT is a 150 gal. w/40 gal sump. I have a 29 gal left-over from freshwater that I want to use for QT (never used copper). Can I use the biowheel that I already have for filteration on the QT? If so...

Well, it's been a LONG time coming! I finally got some water in my tank. I got it all plumbed yesterday and I'm doing a fresh water test for leaks. Thankfully I only found one leak so far. One of the valves was missing a gasket, but I've replaced that and all is well. In all my newbness I...

Guess you have to cough up cash today as it seems hell froze :snow: over yesterday :D I figured Miami/Pats game would have been easy money for you.

Are you guys saying I should add a tee w/cap coming out of my sump before my return pump. Just in case the drawing is confusing the yellow box next to the sump is a return pump. Also I'm not talking about using spa flex I'm going to be using flex pvc that gets glued int sched. 40 fittings just...

I need some help plumbing my system. The picture on the left shows the flow from my 1500gph overflow (two 1.5" drains) down to my sump and back through two 1"returns in the back glass. I realized that I drilled those returns a little to low. I'd rather not spend the cash on anti siphon...

Having a problem with one of the hidden hinges. Just a case of my bad measuring. Also in that pic there were some white spots showing on the edges of doors from where I painted the inside of the stand and doors that I have since fixed. Basically its just a bunch of rookie wood working minor...

That was a great game last night.

I'm glad you talked to the manufacturer yourself. I should have been more elaborate in my earlier post when talking about the foam. I've heard some people having issues when they used thick foam beneath the tank. They say the thick foam in some circumstances eventually pushes on the bottom...
