    Back about about a month ago I needed to swap stands because of water damage. I sadly was cramped for time and couldn't spend time with wire management. So tomorrow I will tear my stand apart again and redo everything.

    Wish me luck!!

    Here's what she looks like now..

    Looks just fine to me Chris, but then again, I LOVE having to pull 3-4 power cords before getting the right one;)

    LOL I am a martial artist. You'll have it looking like the space shuttle by tomorrow. I pulled 3 inches of algae off those zoas, so I cant say much.

    Last night I bit the bullet and purchased new salt from Instant Ocean.

    I am looking forward to trying out Reef Crystals, also I purchased foam covers for my MP10. I hope these covers will help with sand and snails.

    So I opened my replacement MP10 today and installed my RF module, I noticed there was a VERY STRONG burnt electrical board smell and some corrosion and I have a stripped screw in the housing... UGH!

    So I called EcoTech before I plugged anything in to cover my own a** and he said some smell was normal and to just plug it in and see if it works. The unit DID power on and I proceeded to ask about the stripped screw. They said I needed to send everything in because they have sent me enough, so I now need to decide if I want to accept a unit with a screw that falls out of the back or not.

    I think I might call in a few months and just ship them the housing part to have that replaced.

    I know this is something small but I honestly feel if someone is willing to drop 235+ on a pump at least have better customer service.
