Mike's 225 Reef Tank Log

gotcha. thats what i thought, i guess the aquanotes is just an add on to your webserver, etc. i will try the lite version for now.
 
Well the full version of Aqua Notes would be beneficial if you had the AquaController Jr or another AC unit that doesn't have an embedded web server and email notices.
 
Great project so far. I really like the stand and canopy. You will like your Miracles tank. I just got mine and it has great workmanship and quality.
 
the tank is almost finished! The euro will be installed tomorrow. Here is the pic Derek sent me today.

The tank gets here next monday. I will keep yall updated. The sump also shipped out, its going to be a busy week next week!

-Mike
 
Very nice setup! Can't wait to see it done. I did have a quick question....what brand of skimmer did you get?


Thanks.
 
Im going to be running my MRC MR-2R beckett skimmer. If Deltec goes to Macna this year in Houston, which they probably will, I am really thinkning about getting one of their skimmers to try out.

Thanks for the comments i appreciate em!

-Mike
 
yeah i am in houston finally. just got the internet up and running. i need to call UPS freight to schedule the delivery of the tank. hopefully i will get it monday...

still gotta order the luminarc's and do a few other things.

i will keep yall updated.

-Mike
 
INCREDIBLE!!!!

Im sorry, I just have taken a break from rc for a while...and came back to find your stand delivered....it looks amazing...and so does its location! :)


I cant wait to see it stocked! :D
 
got a good amount of work done. I mounted alot of stuff, put in the floor of the stand, and started on some electrical.

tomorrow is the big day, the tank gets here in the afternoon. many pics to come for sure.

for now yall gotta settle with these teasers, im getting so excited we hope to fill the tank with RO/DI in a few days.

its now wednesday and the tank still isnt here. the shipping company is starting to tick me off.

everytime i call them they say it didnt make the truck by accident, and it will be delivered tomorrow from 1-5. its now 4:15 here and still no truck. Im gonna go call them again and see what is up because they gaurenteed me that I would get my tank today. definetly gonna talk to the district manager abotu this one, as the staff has offered no help and always put me on hold for about 30 mintues. Being such a large company (Im going through UPS Freight BTW) you think they would be better at customer support.

I am definetly going to contact Miracles and tell them my experience with the company, as thats not good for their business either.

I will keep yall updated.....its already starting to look like it will be tomorrow from 1-5. Same old excuse.
