I have an 8 foot long 310 gallon aquarium with an IceCap 48XL sump. I bought two eheim jager heaters for it (300w & 250w). I’m placing the 250w either in the skimmer or the refugium section of the sump and was thinking to put the 300w inside the overflow box to keep a clean look inside of the...

Acquired the unit in a tank buy and don't need it as I already have one on my tank. The unit and lights look lightly used but in good condition. I did connect the lights only to ensure they work. The lid hinges have been broken but shouldn't effect the operation of the unit. Asking 280 obo that...

Hey everyone! Its been a long time getting back onto the forum and ultimately back into the salty world! I made a mistake a year back purchasing just the XF250 pump and not to combination pump and controller. Since then Maxspect has released a new model making my new build almost obsolete...
