Thread: Some help needed

    Default Some help needed

    Hello all, I am in Iraq and my wife is taking care of my tank at home. The tank was on cruse control when I left it must miss me as there have been all kinds of problems. My CO2 regulator went out today and is making my wife crazy tring to keep up. She went to Austin and got a new regulator and the guys at AuquaTec adjusted it for here on the CO2 tank. I think she will be fine for now but would love for here to have numbers of a few people that could help either over the phone or by comming over and helping. I will list the tank specs below and if you are interested please PM me the contact info so that I can pass it on to her. Thank you all for anything you can do.

    180 Gal display (2 1 1/2 inch street elbows for drains)
    90 Gal sump/fuge
    Geo cal reactor
    Auqa Controller III
    Kalk water auto topoff
    2 vortec power heads

    It also help if you have your water parameters here too so we know what need to adjust if any. And how your system hook up? do everything run thru the Aquacontroller? Just put down as much info. as possible. So people here know how to help. And thanks very much.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Fug= light on fuge
    Het= heater
    CO2= co2 silinoide

    here is a recent email. be advised the co2 tank is off as my wife is still on her way back from austin with the new regulator.

    Thanks all for the help. All is still well with the tank and the wife seems to be bonding nicely with it. I will keep you all informed if she needs any help.
