Hey that's a great write up some things I didn't think about. Can you explain the battery back up power? If you lose power how do you have this battery to where you can wire it to get power to run the tank that just isn't clicking for me. I have been trying to think of ideas that I can do if my power goes out. I'm in a apartment btw so a compressor wont exactly work Good tips here.

I got a nikon 3300 otw looking forward to getting better pics my phone just dont cut it. Used to have the D3300 so looking forward to getting it again always took good pics while hiking and taking fish pics.

Does anyone even look at my thread LMAO Ok these are the same things only with the blue lights on. The Torch still dont show the nice color ill get more pics of the actual look on them someday but man all these sure bring life and excitement to the tank i hope you enjoy as i build and add to my tank. Torch golden and some other kind Frogspawn purple tip Frogspawn again EDIT: So what do ya think? The pic on the right on the torch shows green its a bright golden with purple tips it does not show it on the pic.. The torch on the left is green with purple tips.. Still it does not show how beautiful they are coming out of the camera.

Hey that's what I use Home depot 15 bucks at least that's the price 3 weeks ago when I grabbed 2

Welcome to the forum you will love it and LOL @ the screen name thats great

Question on the dosing pumps if I got 3 BRS 2 Part Doser – 1.1 mL per minute could I use 1 for water change 1 for alk and 1 for calcium I do it my self but I want to have the option there if I change my mind and have not ruled that out 100% Or could I got with the T11 Dosing Pump System - Bubble Magus I think has 3 motors for either dose food and alk and calc or alk and calcium and then has a extra? This is my first time diving into dosers so I'm asking away. My end goal is what I want to be able to do is dose alk calcium and still have option to have one set up for water change. With the apex

Ok below is a list of new goodies Frogspawn neon green tip 2 heads Ding dangs Golden Torch there are 2 kinds here 12 heads total Also a couple other things if anyone knows what they are let me know EDIT :: I wanted to say Please feel free to like or add any advice or comments to my build

Sweet write up thank you for sharing. Also I do have both heads for this as well now so if you do get the other head you will be able to do a little more so thanks for pointing that out. Wonderful tool for the price and I would say grab the other head with it to. One of these units seems to last me about a year then I just toss it because there so cheap and I have mine in the water once a week.

So far i think im liking the middle one and now i think there are like 4 other type of dosing pumps out there? I will using mine i think mainly for constant water change. I have not ruled out dosing with one but I do like to do it myself so I may stay that way.

Nice to meet you guys today and the dog of course I got everything in the tank and will post pics in my thread in a bit. Thanks for the deals and your tank is sweet and didnt even make a dent in there with all the sweet stuff you got thanks again

oh well then I'm liking the apex even more than 1 more point for it ty

would the BRS 1.1 Run on the apex? I'm just leaning away from them dang DOS because of how loud they are

I wonder does the Bubble Magus dosing pump run with this apex? I have heard they are silent better than the DOS but don't know if it would run with the apex Or the T11 Dosing Pump System - Bubble Magus if you get the slave you can go 11 channels on this one I also hear its quiet would these run on the apex?

Ya my alk I dose 2 oz a day and calc like I said I check it like twice a day like wow to make sure I'm seeing it right and the tank is live as can be and yep it stays right there. Alk I keep at 9.5 and tank loves it at that.

Ya no I'm interested in Apex but I do massive research before I buy anything out there.. I'm to the point now I'm just wanting to know what unit people have here and what all you hook up to it? What does this do for you. Do I have to only use the DOS they sell for the apex or are there other dosing systems out there that I can run that are cheaper with the apex? Or another type of motor that is more quiet that I can use for water changes I like the DOS for water changes but I do not enjoy how loud it is and every I have read says its loud

Well not sure I need the fancy one when I can go the middle one and save 200 bucks I knew ORP wasn't something I have heard before what dosing pumps do you use and run through the apex? My calcium stays at 540 and I don't dose no matter what it stays there. I check it with 2 checkers and its correct. But my tank is loving it and things are growing amazing inside there A lot of salts out there will keep your Calcium at a nice level.

Also what all do you all have your apex running id like to know that. Do you have the gold the middle the jr? Tell me what you run and what you have im curious Im leaning away now from the DOS because if i use it to change the water i hear its loud and not big fan of that but my water changes take less than 15 mins as i mentioned so dont much care about that .

BTW Does anyone actually have the DOS for this system?? The more i think about it the major complaints i hear is how dang loud it is. If this is the case its not something i would be real happy about. Im getting away from wanting to dose but use for water changes and i hear these things are loud .. Just trying to get a judge and other peoples ideas on that if you have one

lol

Thanks this is what I was wondering I'm drawing blank what is ORP? I don't care about salinity I like my digital reader so don't care about that stuff. One thing I do like is the DOS is for water changes just put a bucket down let it drain into and have it do water changes for me. Then again my water changes take me 15 mins to do every 2 weeks so that works ok.. I know its good for dosing but I'm leaning away from that now I like dosing myself so easy and lets me interact and check on things.

So you guys got your tool in and have tried it yet? I come back to this thread because just got done touching up my tank for about 2 mins with mine

Still no? Come on guys you have all this so explain to me lol im leaning back to the forget it on getting this lol i dont know which one would be more suitable I want the DOS like i said and the DOS upgrade with the 2 canisters for dosing it comes seperate add on to the DOS But as far as the whole system i dont know which one i would need for my 100 gallon there are 3 or 4 types i posted above

Said it before say it again i love the look of them 40b Looking great
