Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I have the Ice Cap ATO and every time I fill the reservoir the alarm goes off because it over fills the return chamber a small amount.
I end up taking to large cups of water out from the return chamber and then it stops. Real PITA.
I went dark for 7 days. Used black poster board from dollar store and taped all around the tank. Covered with a dark sheet/blanket. Lot some coral that were going out anyway and one fish. Huge water change afterwards. God luck but don't give up; I know the feeling.
Agree, been there a few times before. Which is why I have not spent any $$$ on coral or fish there in 2 years. Just RODI water during the winter but might be worth the trip to AO once a month.
Th problem here is that Paulie received store credit from ACC. If there is a sale and you try to use store credit ACC will charge you the full price not the sale price.
Wouldn't the emergency drain be part of the overflow box? I believe it has a piece of PVC that sits an inch higher than the water levek.
In other sites I have seen the return split in the back with a T going into the sump. Both pipes had separate valves for control.
