Nobody answer him until he posts pictures from his tank! :rolleyes:
LOL I agree....:D
 
I don't; There was a sale on the deluxe and the price was only $30 more. I decided that the price of a meal was worth it!

OK Marc

LOL: I guess that's right, but if I ever decide against Ozone b/c of the possible health effects, I can sell it for more used and then buy the meal? :D :dance:
 
Looks good Ryan.

I was going to ask Marc to cut out some black acrylic for my overflows but I've got some extra coroplast laying around so I'll steal yet another idea from you.
 
The tanks mine; The corals are some loser kid's :lol:


Steve, make a cardboard cutout template first. All you need is a exacto knife, a tape measure and a pencil. The project shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes!


So who out there has an ACIII? How do you guys have it hooked to your computer? Most people use the X-box router as I understand. (another $100:mad2: ) Come on now controller people, I'm listening:strooper:
 
Ryan,whats up bud?. Tank is getting ther, frags are growing nicely. One more yr. that tank becomes slice of the ocean. PEACE
 
Menard, its a PRIME piece of the ocean, thanks to you;) ! I'm comming up for IMAC. I'll see you that weekend and will bring some friends from here!


Steve, The output gives me an idea of the TDS prior to using RO. No purpose other than to see what the baseline is. If the unit wasn't a two part, I obviously wouldn't measure.

I set it up for a base line and probably wont check it more than once a year. It would be interesting to see if there were seasonal variation. Growing up in Detroit, I always took H2O for granted. Here in Dallas, they have 1,000,000,000 man made lakes that are fed by run off and sewage. As I understand it, that is our drinking water. Kind of makes me miss the Detroit river! (If you are from Windsor or Detroit you'll understand the irony). With that stated my prefiltered TDS is only 167. There is a dude that lives on the east suburbs of Dallas and has a TDS of 600!!!!!! I wonder if his RO unit can filter out the corn? Nasty.

Okay, confused???? Why would you need the deluxe red sea ozone unit if you have the AquaController III?

I have the II and love it.


I can have the Ozone control its self, while I can use the ORP input for a second pH probe. THis way I can monitor the pH of the tank and the calcium reactor effluent to control the CO2 input.
 
Ahhhh, now that makes more sense than re-selling it for more money. :P Did you just think of that. LOL

Glad to hear you are coming to IMAC. Maybe I will see you there.
 
Fishgeeks,


Actually, serendipity is a wonderful thing. I just got the controller and I am struggling with getting it set up and online as well as sent to my computer via the ethernet. I found this out while going thru my set up instructions and it is a perfect scenario for me.;)


I understand that Neptune may soon release an expansion module that will really allow for variability with multiple probe controls and inputs.

Looking forward to meeting you if you make it to IMAC! If you see me (plenty of pictures in this thread) come and introduce yourself!
