I didnt know they were on here. I'll post some pics of my issue. When I get home I'll takes some pics of the drilled holes too. They aren't even. I wish I took a video of it running so I could show the sparce water contact. I hope I'm not coming across as rude or anything. Just a little bummed for the price@Jeff@CoralVue you wanted to be tagged on these discussions so looping you in.
Not rude at all. If you’re having issues that’s what this forum is for or at least one of the things it’s for. Jeff has been tagged on a different thread regarding algae scrubbers from ice cap And he’s been very involved and helpful. It’s a new product and there’s a learning curve for everyone. Give him a little time to respond and see what he has to sayI didnt know they were on here. I'll post some pics of my issue. When I get home I'll takes some pics of the drilled holes too.

That vertical feed pipe portion with the valve is glued into place unfortunatelyThough it shouldn’r be necessary for a brand spanking new product, if you're into DIY, I’d run to Home Depot and fashion a new standard plumbing slot pipe and feed plumbing complete with a new valve. That way, the stock feed plumbing is untouched and is returnable (If that’s an option).

plagued with GHA in my 125 I decided to add one 3 years ago. I followed the King of DIY guide, it's propped against the glass on the inside of my sump and on the outside I have the Marineland LED light on the outside of the sump that runs on a timer from 4PM to 8AM. GHA disappeared in about a month and I've basically stopped testing for nitrates and phosphates after testing 0 for both for almost a year
