Did you fix the issue? Mine is leaking on the other side with O-RingI just got mine but it is leaking. The end isn't sealed. Am I missing a piece or is this end cap supposed to be glued in?
No it comes as a plug and play unitThis looks really intriguing. Can you buy one without the pump. I would want to run it off my manifold instead of a stand alone pump.
Thanks
I just received my ice cap about an hour ago and am trying to put this into my sump. I can tell you there are two design flaws in this that are going to be a problem for me and I am debating returning.Anyone else have updates on these units? They have been out of stock forever and I was able to snag one this week at the various vendors. Surprisingly few reviews of the unit given how long it has been in the marketplace. Hoping I made a good choice to clean up my GHA issue in my fuge.

Overall..my initial reactions are disappointment. HOpefully this is just a bad initial impression. will update this after I get it going.
- You are supposed to have the bottom of the skimmer ABOVE the power failure water line. The problem I have with this is that the stand is not tall enough for my lowest level fuge compartment so I will have to prop it up on some sort of block. Not only do i have to prop it up on a block but when I prop it up...it is difficult to remove the scrubber component for cleaning. I think the issue here is that the scubber should have been wider but shorter with taller legs.
- What is even worse...what if there is some sort of fuge water level increase (ATO goes on too much, etc)...not a lot of room for error.
- Assuming I can get past point 1, the next issue is that the downspout to the pump is too short. I have to go to the hardware store and extend the pump to a level that is below the water line as it is sucking in some air making it a little loud.
- the return water back into the sump is pretty loud even being close to the waterline.
You are mistaken it can sit below the water line . The pump has a built in baffle so it sucks from the lowest level . The panels are ip 68 rated . And are enclosed from the main box as a safety.I just received my ice cap about an hour ago and am trying to put this into my sump.

ahhh...thank you for the clarification. I was reading their online and they said nothing about it and no one from coral vue returned my inquiry. They actually said to keep it above the power failure water line.You are mistaken it can sit below the water line . The pump has a built in baffle so it sucks from the lowest level . The panels are ip 68 rated . And are enclosed from the main box as a safety.
Man of my word..i listened to peeps, figured out that it was an ID-10-T error and have changed my mind on the scrubber. Whisper silent, is awesome!! I loves it!!I just received my ice cap about an hour ago and am trying to put this into my sump.

That’s the way I designed itMan of my word..i listened to peeps, figured out that it was an ID-10-T error and have changed my mind on the scrubber. Whisper silent, is awesome!! I loves it!!
I know this is an old post but coral view instructions still say keep bottom of box above max level in sump if power failure. I would hope lights are sealed well enough. When direct feeding many shut off return pump. If they are really IP68 they should handle a few inches of water for some time. Not like they will be submerged over a meter. I just purchased a small for my 100 gallon tank. Still not a lot of reviews out there ThanksIf u look at the panels they are even siliconed at the connection. But I would sink it and check that there is no water in the led (dry ) space . Long term water will wreck the panels . Salt water can kill anything
As long as dry space is water tight it should handle return pump off. I would never want the dry area filled with water or any portion keep under water full time. Just recieved it. I am going to rough up screen ad I feel they do better job.They are in a they have there own area it’s a dry space. Optimally it would be a the sump level and the leds are ip68 . That said if there is water in the dry space I wouldn’t let it sit in the continually saltwater can breakdow itn anything overtime .
Can anyone share their experience with these? I'm not able to find very many reviews. Appreciate it!These bad boys are already moving and we just listed them on the site less than 24 hrs ago and they were also featured on the AquaNerd blog.
