gotcha. thats what i thought, i guess the aquanotes is just an add on to your webserver, etc. i will try the lite version for now.

elephen · #**102** 04/25/2006, 05:28 PM

Well the full version of Aqua Notes would be beneficial if you had the AquaController Jr or another AC unit that doesn't have an embedded web server and email notices.

Great project so far. I really like the stand and canopy. You will like your Miracles tank. I just got mine and it has great workmanship and quality.

MdM31 · #**104** 04/27/2006, 03:37 PM

the tank is almost finished! The euro will be installed tomorrow. Here is the pic Derek sent me today.

Check out the starfire glass! Cant wait to get this aquarium!

Very nice setup! Can't wait to see it done. I did have a quick question....what brand of skimmer did you get?

Thanks.

MdM31 · #**111** 05/30/2006, 05:21 PM

Im going to be running my MRC MR-2R beckett skimmer. If Deltec goes to Macna this year in Houston, which they probably will, I am really thinkning about getting one of their skimmers to try out.

Thanks for the comments i appreciate em!

looking good! So what happen on the big day? Can't wait for you to get water in it!

MdM31 · #**120** 06/07/2006, 04:16 PM

its now wednesday and the tank still isnt here. the shipping company is starting to tick me off.

everytime i call them they say it didnt make the truck by accident, and it will be delivered tomorrow from 1-5. its now 4:15 here and still no truck. Im gonna go call them again and see what is up because they gaurenteed me that I would get my tank today. definetly gonna talk to the district manager abotu this one, as the staff has offered no help and always put me on hold for about 30 mintues. Being such a large company (Im going through UPS Freight BTW) you think they would be better at customer support.

I am definetly going to contact Miracles and tell them my experience with the company, as thats not good for their business either.

I will keep yall updated.....its already starting to look like it will be tomorrow from 1-5. Same old excuse.

-Mike

alien9168 · #**121** 06/08/2006, 07:38 AM

sorry to here that mike...i hate when this sort of thing happens...but rest assured--if this is any consolation--your not the only one who has had shipping issues like this lol... WHatever

the tank will get there and we'll come running to share in your excitement.

I feel bad though...because it must be terable having such a nice tank, held up due to shipping

Keep us posted "from 1-5" lol

MdM31 · #**122** 06/08/2006, 09:25 AM

lol

the tank is going to be here for sure today from "1-5". The driver calls me yesterday asking how I was going to get it off, I said what do you mean doesnt your truck have a lift gate and he goes "oh shoot i got it on the wrong truck. im gonna have to go back to the office and put it on a truck with a liftgate......."

lol just my luck huh? well all we gotta hope now is that it comes all in one piece. the sump should show up somtime today too.

have a good one guys.

-Mike

yoboyjdizz · #**123** 06/08/2006, 01:40 PM

Well hopefully you get something soon.. Keep us updated!
