    Just received my AquaC for my 16g, and it's not the nano version. Also got the Maxi 1200 with it. Can't wait to hook it up, too bad I can't close my store and leave! If anyone wants to chime in with advice or pointers, feel free.. until then I will anticipate going home and hookin this monster up! Also received my R2 moonlight unitl, with a moon cycle controller. YAHOO!

    awesome!! That thing, once it's broken in...pulls some nasty gunk. good luck with it man!! The only problem i had with it is cleaning, the injector nozzle is really hard/impossible to reach. But if i ever need to clean the nozzle and stuff, i run it in a bucket of vinegar solution.

    The new one has a lot of oily junk in it, i ran it with some hot RO/DI water + baking soda for 2 days. It started skimming in just one day.

    Its a great skimmer, plus you dont have to adjust it. Just put it in the sump or hang it on the back and youre done :)

    You have to do a mod to keep it quiet,unless you don't mind the noise. Also insert a sponge or filter cloth inside- near the exit -to reduce the microbubbles.

    Mod for peace and quite? Anyone know a good site to look at for a way to mod the aquaC to make it a bit quieter?
