ReefWaters' 220 Sun Room Reef

Kurt03: The ACIII Pro will detect the power outage itself by utilizing a second power adapter running from a UPS. But even if you have all your stuff on BB like I do, when the power goes out, your internet company (cable in my case) may not work to get the message through.

Having said that, I am usually the first to kniow about it when it does happen.

 

[Kurt03]

Does this work on the AC3 (not pro) as well?

Sorry to spam your thread reefwaters, really like what your doing. Cant wait to see it all finished
Im going to have to get me some of those clips!

 

[jnarowe]

Honestly, I have no idea. A quick email to Curt would answer that.

 

[Kurt03]

Ill have to do that when I get it, he has a cool name. Its spelled wrong though

 

[Ratpack]

Very nice set up. I hink I'll tag along and see the outcome. This is similar to what I hope to have one day.

Nice job. Where you get those rollers for your light rack?

Nice click clamps, I'm gonna have to order some now

Got the track and rollers from Johnson Hardware.

They have stuff that will hang a car if you wanted to. But you really don't need anything more than the lightest track they make. The only thing I wish I had done was go with the ball bearing rollers for a few extra bucks. But I can always replace them...and probably will be soon. There are tons of places on the web that sell this stuff but I found these guys to have a good selection and pricing with an easy to use website.

Looks like you're having to take a break from your tank? Sucks doesn't it? I'm SO close I can taste it...I just need to buck it up and finish already! :smokin:

Reef waters your doing an excellent job on your build keep up the good work. dont rush it now youve taken you time so far don't ruin the quality by rushing.

 

[ReefWaters]

Oh I won't cut any corners. I REALLY am very close. I have all the parts and equipment, I just need to finish putting it all together.

On another note - does anyone know if I can go ahead and install AquaNotes on my computer and start playing with my programming before I plug up and turn on the ACIII Pro?

 

[jnarowe]

hmmmm....I would think so because you can use it without communicating with the controller. Probably a bit of a waste though since you won't get any feedback.

BTW, I keep my timer names, program, and notes in a Word Document so that I make changes there and then copy & paste to Aquanotes. That way I always have a "backup" in case the unit were to die on me.

 

[Lunchbucket]

What did you buy from them? Which track and which rollers

[ReefWaters]

I got 2, 96" 80 lb kits. I believe the only difference in the 80lb and the 150 lb kits are the hangers. I kind of wish I had spent the extra 20 bucks now. The 150 lb hangers just look like they would roll more smoothly. Mine tend to jerk a little. But like I said, I knew my rack wasnt going to be anywhere close to 160 lbs (2x80) total, so I went with the 80 lb kits. Im very happy with them overall.

I am new here but couldnt resist. I own my own buisness selling comercial doors and hardware I am a distributor for Johnson hardware.
The diff is that the heavyer ones have ballbearing rollers. I am not sure if that would be good for this application because of corosion but if youu would like some I could get you some much cheaper than buying at list price from the factory. They would be a few dollars each. I buy bulk quantities.

if you want a couple to try send me an email with your address and I will send you a couple no charge.

 

[jnarowe]

uh oh.

uh oh.

As I was typing I thought this might be a bad Idea being you Guys dont know me at all. I promise this is not an attempt at buisness just trying to help out that is why I actually offered a couple for free. I buy this stuff in large quan. for use in hotels and apartment buildings.

You can check my scren name on ebay is the same.
and I do have a new tank. 60" 36" 24"

Sorry if this was a bad Idea.

 

[ReefWaters]

All good here. I appreciate the offer but I hate to take anything from people for free. If the hangers I have dont work out you'll be the first person I contact.

 

[ReefWaters]

This is beautiful. I found this picture at www.perfectoaquariums.com (not what I was looking for) but its a very good representation of what I'm going to try to do with my aquascaping. Several small rock islands with one or two large colonies on each.

I cant seem to find any more information on this tank. It actually looks like a lagoon style tank or salt water pond. Maybe outdoors. What do you guys think?

 

[Bax]

That would be awesome scaping for a shallow reef.
