eco-aqualizer

ok gang, the much maligned eco-aqualizer(hereafter known as e-a because i am tired of spelling eco-aqualizer) went on my 125 reef tonight at 10 pm eastern time. i will be giving reports as to weather it makes any difference on my reef. i.e. clearer water, better skimming, better light penetration, finding unicorns,raising the dead. etc etc etc. i never pull any punches, if the unit works and makes a difference, i will say so. iffin it doesn't i will lamblast it like it was a rio 2500. and ask nicely for my dough back...... keep checking gang. same bat time......same bat channel. meanwhile, here is a pic taken last sunday.

 

Look forward to your report.
Nice pic!!

 

Yes it is!!! I follow your posts Da_Colts, just to see your latest and greatest pic! You have a beautiful tank and take excellent photos as well ;D

I also feel alot better keeping my berlin skimmer seeing that is the one you are using and your tank is stunning.....getting a Mag 9(950 GPH) for it soon ;D per your suggestion previously....Keep up the good work and looking forward to next pic......

 

we now go to da colts our roving reporter in the field, take it away da colts...... well here is an early sunday report on the e-a. as of 7 am sunday all things look about the same,however, i did lose my saron shrimp this morning,but to be fair he has not looked very well for about 2 weeks ever since i pulled his big ass out of my overflow box so his death was not because of the e-a(but we now know that the e-a does not raise the dead,the unicorn thing is still open.) this is da colts your reef man in the field, back to you stan. as always, here is another pic of my labor of love.

ok here is the e-a update as of sunday 7-11 2004.
it appears that the skimmer is producing less skimate, not less small bubbles but less skimate. did a 20 gal water change this morning but thats the same thing i do every sat night or sunday morning.everyone looks fine, 1 of my green stars is not open but it does that about every 2 or 3 weeks and it was closed prior to the e-a going on. so far nothing that has me dancing,nothing bad(except for the less skimate) but not really anything good either light looks the same, tank is always clear as a bell. i will check the skimmer tomorrow.still looking for unicorns.(thought i saw a unicorn horn but i was mistaken, it was a rhinoceros horn, not quite the same thing) as a change of pace, here is a pic of my clown trigger in my 55 gal all fish aquarium without the rhinoceros.

ok here goes, the skimmer picked up again today, and the green star opened back up today.... the e-a says it kills algae but i am still wiping it off of the glass as much as ever , about 4 times a week, its not bad but still, that is not an improvement. the tank is very clear but then again it always is so to my eye it's no clearer after the e-a than before. the hippo tang had a few spots of ich this morning but she gets that every now and then, i did not treat with any medication and she is clear tonight. so far, i can't see any real improvement in the tank, but nothing bad either as the skimmer is back to normal now. stay tuned for stupid pet tricks. now take us to commercial paul. as a change of pace here is a pic of my 25 gal fresh eclipse.

 

its been 2 weeks and i do not see any difference in my tank either bad or good using the eco-aqualizer, algae on the glass is still the same, skimate from the berlin is the same. i will give it 2 more weeks as i said from the beginning i would give it a month. just bought a new clam today, a 1 inch blue maxima, i will be posting pics of his little cute butt tomorrow.

 

What's your flow rate through the eco-aqualizer Danny?

 

right around 300 gph, the e-a is after the uv and before the chiller.
