Bill saved all my coral, liverock, and fish so there can be a happy ending.

KT said "can you double silicone tanks?" Maybe thats not a bad Idea - lol.

Before you fire up the electronics I would seriously consider opening them up for a cleaning, electronics stores have a spray that will clean/dry/seal the circiut board after it has been wet, any dried salts on the board will shorten the life considerably, I have a can around here somewhere if you want the name of it, works great.

Pretty much any "contact Cleaner" will be fine on electronics. Rubbing Alcohol is fine as well. Got to clean any salts or deposits as they usually are conductive and will lead to letting the smoke out

Wow!.....Bummer man

Hang in there. Setting up a new tank is always the best part.

Say hi to KT for me.

Cheers

Thanks guys.

Anyone have a carpet knee stretcher thingy to re-install my carpet? I'm not sure how to put it back.

You should be able to rent one from a tool rental place if nothing else..

Jack · #8 05-07-2009, 01:07 AM

Ok. Thanks Tony.

AC Jr. is fine.

Osmolator seems funky. The too high light is solid red, too low light is blinking and alarm. The same alarm sound I came home to.

id help you out but i live out in abbotsford just thought id give you some advice(im a floor layer by trade) strech away from your door way first then hook one end on the tack strip underneath. then strech it across to that other wall. then between those two points hooks that wall on and do the same for all the walls. it will keep it straight and buckle free. and peice of advice dont be suprised if you have to cut a litle off when you re stretch it
