Did you decide on refugium lighting?
So far the list looks good. At the moment I can't think of anything you are missing. What about RO/DI?

TDS - Stands for Total Dissolved Solids

If you are going to home depot be sure to check out the LOA (Lights Of America) 65 watt floodlight. It is a popular choice for refugiums. Some people have reported problems with a few of the fixtures but Home Depot is good about exchanges if there is a problem.

You will probably not have any problems but be sure to keep your receipt and packaging for a little while just in case.

Do you ever feel like things are going against you? I do at this point. As my husband was doing the plumbing he noticed the end case of the pump has a major crack in it. The store isn't opened until Monday. I just got the pump on Wednesday, So I am hoping they don't give me any problems taking it back and giving me another,

I have those type of days all of the time!
I hope that they take the pump back. Did you purchase it from a large chain store or a LFS?

Doh! You got it from premium aquatics right? I would think that they would take it back.

Just give them a call and explain how you just opened the box and found that it was cracked. I don't think you will have any problems other than the inconvenience of having to ship that one back and wait for a new one.

Let us know how their customer service handles this one.

I was looking so forward to it being set up this weekend. First the sump, now the pump, this is the bad thing about ordering thru the mail. But I took the chance instead of paying double the prices as it is in this area.

Yeah that is the downside to ordering online. Hopefully you will have no problems getting the situation corrected though. Good luck.

Okay I just got off the phone with customer service. They would of taken it back, which would of taken 2 weeks with round trip UPS. We had plug the pump in a very quick second to see if it worked. It did. So whaat we agreed on was that he would send another cap out today to replace that one and I will be back in business by this weekend when hubby can finish the plumbing.

That's cool that they provided you with a quick solution to the problem and did not try to hassle you about it. Thumbs up for PA.

I was very impressed with how this was handled. I am so glad that I bought 3/4 of my stuff from them. At least I know they liked my business. Hey Frag, How about a forum for post our reviews on the different online vendors we deal with? There is nothin better then word of mouth.

Thanks for the suggestion Teeka. The Vendor Feedback forum has been created.
