    Any diagrams...

    Bought it from the guy's parents. He is a software programmer so loves gadgets but fell in love 6 months after buying it. Married her and moved to North Carolina a year ago. The parents were thrilled to get it out of their garage.

    Is there are place that would have diagrams of how to pipe the Korallin and PH controller in the system?

    You guys are making me feel better!

    Imagine my surprise when I realized the AquaC Remora HOT and the EV-120 were two separate protein skimmers. Took me 200 webpages and 4 hours of sorting to realize that. I set up the Remora with the prefilter and the MaxiJet 1200 dry fitting it on the tank. I don't have a sump yet but am seriously thinking of installing one. There are so many toys I could use (float switch) etc it seems to be better for the captive life.

    I am about 30 minutes from Cadiz, just up Route 7. The tank was purchased in Glen Dale, WV. I am just tickled pink. I swear I pay full price for everything! (not intentionally)

    Talked to the original owner and he said when he went to CA on vacation with his girlfriend he forgot to turn off the freshwater something with the RO before he left and when he came back the whole tank was a freshwater tank - everything dead. So he boxed it up and that was that.

    I did promise to send him a pic of it set up. We both are IT people so the though of letting that good stuff go obsolete was terrible.:)

    Saints Fan: You did get a great deal. I am thinking about painting this one black to match the office. This setup will sit about 6 feet away from me. Hopefully it won't make too much noise.
