Aqua Clear 70...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has an Aqua Clear filter that they would be willing to sell or trade for something.

Subject: Re: Aqua Clear 70... Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:45 pm

I wouldn't suggest one... I got one for my 29g QT, and used it once for about 2 weeks. After that I ran FW through it overnight to clean out the pump. I took it out a month later ad it wouldn't work at all.

I would suggest an eheim or marineland instead..

thanks for the response maybe I shouldn't get one...also what kind of tank do you have and what kind of stuff do you have in it? Like what is you saltwater experience level?

I have a 90g FOWLR. It contains 130lbs of white sand(the black sand on craigslist us mine, haha) 75lbs live rock. My livestock includes:

-2 ocelleris clowns 1"
-yellow headed sleeper goby 4"
-scooter blenny 2"(looking for new home)
-dogface puffer 5"
-copperband butterfly 5"
-longhorn cowfish 1.5"

I have a small blue spotted ray on order.

And for experience, I have a little over 1 year under my belt.

Wow your tank sounds awesome. I have always been interested in blue spot rays but I do not have a tank large enough for them. Thats hilarious about that sand being yours...do you think you are going to come to any of the meetings?

I plan on coming to every one of them... But usually remember a few hours after they started lol.

Thats great we always want more members. So if you know anyone who has a saltwater tank you should mention us to them too. The next meeting is the first Saturday of may.

Subject: O ok... Sat Apr 18, 2009 9:51 pm

Cool, how do the LEDs get power? like a battery or is it from an outlet?

Someone finally messages me about it today, and is supposed to pick itnup tomorrow. Not sure how legit it is...

Subject: Thats good... Sat Apr 18, 2009 9:57 pm

well thats good because it seems like we never have 9v batteries at my house anyway. And how gig is the back compartment that the lights are shining down on? Like a rough estimate?

see...i bought some black sand from petco, added my homemade rock before it was fully cured...and turns out my ph was a little too high for my sand.

Yeah I can give you a sandwich baggy full, would you be able to pick it up tomorrow?

by the way, my definition of "close" is about a 1.5 mile parameter.

Haha okay... If I'm in the area perhaps I'll drop it off. I'm over in WV.
