Indo pacific farms?

The UV is plumbed in the sump. It pulls from the first chamber and returns in right to the second baffle exit that goes to the return chamber. It is plumbed with the inlets facing up like the instructions said.

You have to keep in mind this is a 100% dry rock + 100% dry sand start. I have added pods and phyto and some coralline flakes, but nothing else. It's a massive unit (40" in length) and barely fits in the sump (Sump is 48") & cabinet lol.

I would move it to the display temporarily. It should pull water up from the sandbed area and return back into the display. It's ugly but not as ugly as dinos. It's also not uncommon to not see any dinos in the sump compared to the display.

I've never seen Dinos in the sump (unless it was growing in the scrubber, which I took offline after the scrubber manufacturer found out I had 100% dry rock and sand and recommended pulling it and focusing on biodiversity).

I did try moving it to the display, but have no place to mount this beast of a unit (kind wish I got the 57W because it's smaller ). It's way too big (we tried to do that originally, but couldn't find a spot for it unless we drilled holes in the wall to mount it or we open up the top of the tank risking fish jumping (I have wrasses that are jump risks).

So I ordered yesterday and haven't heard anything back. For any of you that have ordered from them in the past do they have another email other than [email protected]? Do they have a phone number other than (808) 334-1709 --- this phone number is disconnected . I did not get a confirmation e-mail back when I placed the order.

I have a 57 watt unit that I hung off the back. If there is any way to go from display tank and back, I would do it. Mj1200 is what I use for flow. My tank is 180 gal.

It's 9:37am there. I would wait till about 8pm eastern for a response. Typically, it's just a shipping confirmation.

I would stop any payment to them.

I requested a paypal invoice - which they are supposed to send to me. So weird --- I guess only GARF is the last place standing then . Would be really helpful if any of you past customers have past correspondence to them and can verify an e-mail or phone number >_<.

Yeah it makes me sad

You could also look into sources from Florida like Tampa Bay saltwater, Live rock n reef, or gulf live rock. However, a lot of those sources come from the ocean that's had a big toxic cyano bloom. Maybe you can try and contact them?

HMM not good. I have ordered from them but not recently and I know a few have recently, seen the posts.
I would give it a day or so more but it does not look good if phone disconnected.

I was gong to place a order myself coming up..

 

[Wrasse-cal]

I ordered from them maybe two months ago. I was very happy with my order. I’d be patient, as hard as it is. They have a Facebook page. Might want to try that.

 

[Tft12]

I’ve placed an order with them for every system I’ve setup in the past 10 years or so. I’ve always been extremely happy with everything I’ve received from them.

 

[Tft12]

It's the same IPSF. In the two times I tried reaching out to them I never heard back . Well, I did order --- so maybe they will respond now that I want to give them money

That’s weird. I wonder what’s going on. I’ve always had great conversations with Gerald.

Not to mention they are about to get hit with a nasty hurricane .

I found Gerald's phone number. I'll give that a shot once it's business hours over there. I really want to order from them because they literally have everything I need

Hurricane could be your answer on why.

I tried their FB Page - literal radio silence [emoji29]

 

[Ultraman]

I ordered from him a month ago, great order. I’d say be patient knowing his excellent track record all these years.

 

[Javamahn]

Keep us posted. I also want to order from them for my newly started 150G

Patients. it took two days for Marine depot to get back to me and they are staffed with way more people..

Also email can be unreliable.

I saw no phone number on their site so you may have called a wrong or old number...
