Called Brett at EcoTech, he had me hold the phone up to the dry side and said there is something wrong with it. His remedy, he is sending me a new wet and dry s...

Re: My New Tank Build
Brand new, went with new pumps all the way around for the new tank. Its all good though, the old pump is working and the LFS will make good on the bad pump, no worries there.AddictedToReefs wrote:If its a used pump just unscrew the impeller housing and clean the impeller, always works for me!

Re: My New Tank Build
Did you use egg crate below your sand bed? I always try to use egg crate or starboard as a base for my rock to rest on underneath the sand bed. Not to mention it helps displacing weight of the rock, and helps absorb impact if something shifts or falls. I didn't, hope I didn't mess up here. The tank...

Re: My New Tank Build
We have a tank, they messed up something, its no big deal, but it will delay me getting water into the tank by about a week. I ordered the tank with a black vinyl paint on the outside of the back panel, they forgot to do this. What I found out is, the black vinyl isn't sprayed onto the tank, its a s...
