[Old_Moe]

Very Nice.. Congrats!!!!

 

[little_fish]

Woohooo!!

Get some water in there and get cycling!

 

[Samhain]

Excellent!!!!

 

[Sir Alex]

Thanks guys. :D

Do I need the powerheads to start the cycle? I have probably about 600-700 GPH coming from the return.

 

[Samhain]

I didn't use any powerheads when cycling my tank. Those got added about the same time as my CUC, and my tank cycled just fine. Of course, I was using shipped LR, so there was a lot of die off and I had a huge cycle. It would probably be better to circulate whilst cycling, but I didn't find it necessary.

 

[NanoReefer]

dude the tanks looking sweeeet, how many #s of rock is that?

 

[NanoReefer]

nevermind you already listed that

Maybe I'll just keep it how it is lol.

 

[CurtisL]

haha looks awesome!

 

[ErinCahir]

Looks good Alex!!

Looks good Alex!! Let me know how you like those Sicce 4 powerheads. Just as a heads up my Voyager 3 sometimes makes a tick noise due to air bubbles getting trapped inside of it. Also, make sure that you register them online so you get the additional 5 year warranty.

 

[wontonflip]

awesome! love the rockwork!

 

[Sir Alex]

Lol I'm thanking everyone.

Where do I register them?

 

[Burch01]

Alex, here is the registration website. You will also need to upload a copy of your receipt, but I think this can be a jpeg pic of it. SICCE Product Warranty Information, Registration and Claims

My LFS told me that the Sicce pumps do have a 5 year warranty, but if you read their website it says it is "extended." My Local LFS is affiliated with the US distributor so I hope they know what they are talking about.

P.S. Does the back of your Voyager box list a Knoxville address as Sicce USA?

 

[Sir Alex]

The powerheads are on my need to get list. ;)


Doesn't it seem kinda strange that they would offer you an additional 5 year warranty if you show them your receipt??
