OZONE...............

Anybody running ozone through their AquaC?

I have it plugged into my JG fitting in my EV-180 but I keep smelling ozone. The water outlet is running over carbon and the collection cup outlet has Carbon on it. I think its leaking from either the lid or the collection cup seals. has this happened to anybody else and is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,

Dan

tanya72806, I have both the regular and pro versions. The regular is using the Maxi1200 (this is the setup I have on the 33 cube).

I originally ran the pro on my cube with the Mag3, but the mag was so huge, it looked really ugly and took to much attention in my opinion, so I switched out to regular and hide it behind rock work. They both work really well. I actually love the maxi1200 on my Regular with 33 cube.... I keep a green carpet anenome as an indication of the water quality.

Hope this helps.

Also, wipe the inside of the collection cup bubble tube with your finger and get the slimmy stuff off, seems to work better when the tube is clean.

the ozone melted the fitting on my 180.

Thanx I had it on a 55g w/ the rio pump and I wasnt impressed at all so I figured try the mag7 I plan on either seahorses and fish or anenome and clowns not sure yet

tanya72806, I have no idea about Sea Horses, but my 33 with anenome is working out thus far. I exchange a 1/2 gallon to gallon of water almost everyday to replace trace elements, calc, etc. I run a refugium on the back with chaeto. Roughly 60 LR, no deaths thus far. Xenia to Clowns to Green Carpet Haddoni all growing.

These shots are a few weeks old, but may give you an idea of what the AquaC is supporting (Maxi1200 on right). The green outlet at far back right is a Ehiem canister running ceramics and live rock rubble. Aquafuge hanging on back (hidden), you can see fuge outlet far back left.

I’m going to be setting up a new tank (120gallon) and I’ll be pulling my old aquaC EV150 out of storage to be my skimmer. Its been stored for about 2 years now. Should I be concerned about replacing anything since its been dry all this time? Also, have there been any mods made to this unit to optimize it? I run a Quiet One 3000 on it.

Thanks

Has anyone run a ev180 on a 29 gallon. The reason I ask is because due to a move i had to sell off my 75 and will not have the room to set up another tank that size. I was thinking of doing an sps 29 gallon BB using the ev180. Yes I know it is over kill but will it have any negative effects on the system?

 

[Waxxiemann]

no, that would be great.

it's been a month, and my remora is loud, and hasn't produced a single tiny droplet of skimmate =( i hate it!

what can I do? the cup is all the way down.

 

[fantastic4]

Kinetic, what pump are you using? What model is your Remora? Is it the HOB? If your not produicing anything I would exchange for anoutehr model through AquaC directly. Mine takes out thick nasty green stuff every 24 hours. Depends on how heavy I feed.

 

[Kinetic]

I have the AquaC Nano Remora with the MaxiJet 900.

I'll talk to AquaC directly. So pooped at this noisy machine =(

 

[fantastic4]

Fold a bounty paper towel, wet it, and place it on top of the spray injector square box thingy. Place right on top and squeeze into sides. Middle and other opposite side square area should remain clear. Fold and place in such a way whereby your collection cup will still drop down just as it did before.

Now run your Remora with collection cup and listen.

As for nano, I have heard not such great news on it. Seems like it does not pull a lot out. Do a search in the nano area, I started a thread there on the nano remora review.

 

[Kinetic]

yeah i did the paper towel trick, it made it sound much quieter, but still very loud. it doesn't even start to compare with my tunze nano skimmer! that thing pulls skimmate and is completely quiet =(

maybe aquac will have a solution for me

i just got a new urchin in sump w/ a mj 1200. it is super quiet and it doe spull out nice skimmate. I ran it wet for the first week and now i have changed the level and i am getting a nice black foam.

Good Day Aqua C Club Experts

I have the Aqua C 120 with the recommended Mag 5 pump and I have been unimpressed by the Skim mate production. I have read most of the day and it seems the ticket to making this work is to have the Ehiem 1260 pump. Before I spend the additional dollars on a new pump I have an ocean runner 2500 from my Turbofloater Skimmer. I believe it needs a new impeller without a needle wheel. (can I purchase one and if so where might I try looking). Has anyone tried this route?

As always thanks

i just recently bought an ev120 and right now am using it to cure my LR and i was reading the manual online and it said to start off open the air valve and drian valve all the way. so i did this and the foam just started pouring out off the collection cup. to get it so foam just dose not pour out i have to reduce the air to about 1/4 open. any help?

 

[CapnKick]

DO you have a JG fitting? If so make sure there is something attached to it so it is not just pulling in air.

Otherwise, this might be a break-in issue (not sure though). Did it go away after a few days?

What pump are you using? what color is the foam?

 

[dpbort]

I have installed the Ehiem 1260 and it seems to be doing a better job. Still trying to dial it in foam is a light green color. I think the best thing to do is adjust and waite a day.

thanks
