Really? I love mine. I have it on a 35g frag tank with only 5 small fish but it keeps the tank clean. I dont think I would want to run it on anything more heavily stocked than that.

In my Solana I could never really get it to do much besides make noise.

Tunze 9010 - couldn't get it to pull any skimmate.

Okay I can play this game too...
Solaris LED lighting, need I say more. Anybody what a fixture for a DYI project? :redface:
Aqautronica controller is another example of a high end P.O.S., don't get me wrong it works, and I'm one of the lucky ones! With no recent updates or upgrades for firmware, etc. the last update was 2008. I can't program it using a computer because it just wouldn't log on.. I could go on and on.....:mad: It's diffidently past its prime compared to the more reasonably priced Apex, D.A. and the Cadillac of controllers GHL.
