A quick recap of the past 7 months....
1.Old tank failing, new tank installed
2.New tank doesn't have the right number of bulkeads drilled. Greg fixes it.
3.Tunze pump shorts out, think it poisons water
4 Almost all livestock dies
5 Main pump bearings making noise-replace with new reeflow motor
6 Dialyseas breaks and cannot be fixed- replaced with genesis water system
7 Most new frags die from unknown cause. Effect lasts for about three and a half months
8 Exhaust fan above sump breaks
9 Co2 regulator stops working. Replaced with Carbon Doser
10 Carbon Doser breaks after 3 months use- under warranty thank God
11 One Hydra 52 breaks. AI sends a new board. Doesn't fix the problem. Another new board and all new LEDs finally fixes it.
12 AI Director fails. No light control for 6 days. Use old controller (which thank heaven I didn't sell) until new one arrives.
13 Diatom Filter breaks. Only one year old and motor is dead. I remake the whole thing with a submersible pump. Works better than original!
14 Accidently pour water over a Hydra 52 and melt the board. stupid stupid
15 First new fish introduced to system in over a year infect the tank with ick (despite precautions that didn't work) and die.
And that was the short list. Ithink I have had more stuff break and go wrong in the past seven months than all my reefkeeping years combined.
