    Digital Aquatic rant

    Purchased a Reefkeeper lite, received it today. It doesn't work. Contacted the place I purchased it and they said contact DA (which is a crappy move after I explained that when you tilt the PC4 back and forth there is something substantial moving around) I assume this to be either a pc board...
