Nothing exciting here, thanks just cycling and I’m slowly adding more equipment. Today I finally hooked up the ATO and it worked perfect. Tapped into a water line and a drain line. Having never tapped into lines before, I found it pretty easy So now my unit pushes water up into the attic and then half way across the house, inside the wall and come out at my tank. Solenoid, electrical floats and mechanical float work perfect. Very excited to never top off an ATO container. Now to see how the solenoid holds up over time. I’ll keep everyone updated!

I like that lay out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks really good. Excited to see what you do with your aquascape. And your stand/canopy look awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same lol. Now I look at my stand and say to myself...”should have done better” [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More goodies are here! Simplicity 240 DC skimmer Two new drivers for my MP-10s (old ones broke) Energry bar for apex (fried the last one with 220v) 48” T5 retrofit kit More pics to come as I set the stuff up!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really like your stand Brian! Very well Thought out build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Vortech please! Sending pm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great seller and great lights! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BRS making it look like Christmas around here.....Ok the Kessils aren’t mine lol. They are for my dads 180 but I tested the spread over my 75 and loved it. I might go that route. T5/Kessil should be sweet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what they were saying, it’s all about the light used to grow the stuff. I’ll let you know how it works Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I watched a video that BRS put out on refugiums and they talked a lot about how the algae needs high par to grow quick. So I figured that running my white/green/Red at 100% should put out nice par to grow algae lol. And it beats going out and buying a new macro light! I’m also gonna start running macros soon to let them get a foothold Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And she is officially cycling!! Added a bunch of pond matrix from my current frag system so hoping that helps speed up things. Also plan to add some Bacteria in a bottle later today. I am also recycling an old Ocean Revive LED for my refugium light. I’ll post more pics later when my other goodies arrive. I also plan to do some equipment reviews so stay tuned!

Enjoy! Thanks for coming by today Brandon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hoping I just blew the little transform or something inside it. Because it still “works” I just can’t program it and fusion doesn’t recognize it. So I’ll mess with it tomorrow. Last of the water will go in tomorrow and on Monday I’ll add a sacrificial fish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She’s wet! On another note, I learned that my little 220v mishaps claimed my apex EB8 :/ time to try and fix that now... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey this is what I’m using on my Auto ATO. Works awesome at least on my dry runs haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t wait to finally get water in it! Dumb weather delayed my shipment so my RODI unit won’t be here till Monday! Hmmm maybe I’ll just borrow the one from my frag tanks.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m hoping all the redundancy means no problems[emoji51] don’t think the landlord would be too happy if the tank overflowed lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of my friends was just telling me to check out PUBG lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I’m hoping all the fish poo is able to stay suspended with this rock structure [emoji4] Also finished up my ATO this evening. So here is the basics. I wanted to never ever have to fill up an ATO container or top off my tank. So I wanted the tank connected straight to my RODI unit. Yes, I know this is dangerous. But I’ve done it on my frag tank, and my dads 180 has been running like this for 10 years. Neither has ever had a problem. So I added as much redundancy as possible. A solenoid controls the flow of water into the tank. This solenoid is controlled by two float switches. One for low/normal level. And one high for an emergency back up. I’ll use the apex to only allow power to the solenoid/floats for about 25 minuets every day (depending on evaporation). And if all else, the water has to flow through a mechanical float valve. As I see it, there are four safety features to make sure the tank doesn’t over flow [emoji4] that is enough to let me sleep at night. Oh and I’ll also add a leak detector just in case to alarm me of an overflow. Anyway it’s hard to explain in text so here are a couple pics. Tomorrow the RODI unit gets hooked up and I start filling the tank! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holly! You’re supposed to save all the good stuff for the meeting [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
