    Congrats on the new tank! What size are your overflows, and what's on the return side (size and number of returns)?

    Yup, we need to know what size are the drain holes in the overflows. Luna

    I'm looking at your system, similar in some ways to what I have. How do you like the Aquac 180? And have you figured out an easy way to go wireless with the ACjr? I've read about bluetooth hookups, and tried it, but it's not working for me.

    Love the AquaC, great skimmer, in every sense of the word. When you say "wireless", what do you mean? Wireless in the sense of transmitting the info to the pc? Luna

    I apologize, I don't want to hijack the thread. Yes, it's possible to go wireless to PC via bluetooth serial adapter. It works, but just barely, I can't get tank data and the program has error messages all over the place and shuts itself down. I'll figure it out sooner or later.

    No, never crossed my mind and unfortunately I dont have a bluetooth pc. To be honest, I dont have the need to transmit my tank's info to the pc. But I will say, that I should have bought the controller yrs ago, what a great piece of equipment.
