AquaC CLUB!

Have got to hand it to everyone and say thanks.

Lurked in and out for a bit.

Just found this thread the other day, have had a ev-180 for over a year with a mag-7....never been happy. After reading these posts, decided to try a 1262, remove the gate, raise the skimmer so the output id just over the sump level, cleaned out the tube under the injector...just turned it on and ....WOW. Night and day already and it's an hour into it, still tweeking it. The air is about 2/3 rds down and looks about right at the moment.
Always felt the mag-7 didn't have enough to it. This may just be the ticket.
Thanks again to all.
 
How did you pay. They may not have actually charged you. They just got back to the office 2 days ago from vacation and that seems to be when the decision was made.
 
I am a new user of EV120, Running for 1 week. Somehow I just cant get the skimate I want.
I am using the Sicce Extrema pump (2500 lph).

Few problem I see:
- its not stable, sometime it skimming good and sometime I just stop skimming.
- It will stop skimming for hours after I feed

Anyone can help??
 
Mine does stop skimming after putting my hands in the water or feeding. Doesn't usually last more than a hour or so.
 
I would contact AquaC about the use of that pump. Also, a week is not that long with a new skimmer. There is break-in process, and it can take a few weeks to start running correctly. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual to the letter would be my advice.
 
I purchased an Aqua C EV 240. It has a one "Speedfit" fitting that I assume we can use for either ozone or CR Effluent line.

What would be the best way to run both ozone and CR effluent in my 125 gallon tank. Should I do both through the skimmer? Is it necessary to run the CR Effluent line through the skimmer? Aqua C says doing so will blow off the excess Co2 and help keep PH in the tank remain stable. Does anyone just run the CR effluent into the sump?

Finally, if I wanted to run the water coming out of the skimmer though carbon, could I just put a bag of carbon next to the water coming out or do I need to get a carbon chamber and plumb the water coming out of the skimmer into the carbon chamber?
 
As for the last question, I wouldn't run the exit water through a carbon chamber that would put any backpressure on the skimmer. Free and clear exit path is essential to the operation of this skimmer.
 
"How did you pay. They may not have actually charged you. They just got back to the office 2 days ago from vacation and that seems to be when the decision was made."

I had a buddy of mine pay for me through paypal, so the charge did actually go through. This was right after the vacation. Oh well.
 
Oh, it looks like the "gcarroll injector" was far more popular than they ever expected. so much that they will now include it with all EV240 and EV400 skimmers.
 
Yup, that's what he told me when he emailed me back. I am still waiting for mine, hope it shows up today or tomorrow.

Hehe..gcarroll injector, don't you just love that:lol:

BTW just got mine a couple of days ago and will install it today or tomorrow.
 
Does the 1" injector trick ("gcarroll injector") work on all EV models, or just the larger ones? I am running my EV150 with a Mag pump (only until I get an Eheim) and was thinking of changing to the gcarroll version since the Mag has a 1" out.
 
I don't think it will make much difference on the smaller models since most of them don't require a pump that has a 1" output. What pump are you using?
 
nope, mag 9.5 has 3/4 in and out. I don't think the 1" injector will help. It hels on the larger models since all the pumps recomended have 1" outputs.
