Search Results for ‘auto topoff system’

Hi all, looking into an auto top off. I know Tunze makes a great one for large tanks, but for $200, trying to find something a little more budget friendly if possible. What do other people use? Its going to fill my 50 gallon sump, Idk what size my resiervoir will be, maybe 20gallon, we'll see...

Hi guys, Have been searching but yet to find anything useful. Does anyone know of a good auto top off unit for a Aquael Reefmax? Was sure I would find a build thread online but so far all I've got is a few vague comments of people saying they have or are going to set one up...

Good Morning Everyone!:wavey:

A few winters ago my Minibow 7 got wiped out with a 48 hour power outage ice storm :cry: But last weekend I decided it was time to start it up again (since I had most of the equipment already). So I did. Basic setup to include: Minibow 7 AquaClear 300 w/ surface skimmer atachment 50w Tronic...

I'm creating a fuge so I can grow some chaeto under full light 24/7. I've got limited space under my 55 gal tank, so I'm making this fuge out of a 10 gal tank. (Don't flame me, I've given this thought, and forgive me this small experiment before I go to a 120 gal tank; then my 55 will be the...

My tank was getting too hot so I bought a small Honeywell fan from Target and it cooled the tank down by 5 degrees. I mounted it in the cabinet so that it is blowing right over the sump. It has a little keyhole on the base that you can hang from a screw like you would a clock. Pics below.

I just tested my Calcium and its at 480. Too High??? I'm new to the calcium thing.

I came home last night from my trip to TO which I left to on Saturday morning. I figured 2 days was not bad to shut down my pump for. I left 3 MJ 1200s running for flow, but I guess I should have attached an air hose to a couple of them. When I got home all my fish were dying. I mean how do they...

I am just curious as to your evap. rates. How often do you have to top up? I am asking because I just set up my 75 its been running for a couple days, so far I have had to put in about 4 - 5 cups of water per day, or else my pump would run dry? is this normal? My other tanks barely needed one...

Hi, I'd like to sell my fish tank due to moving out. Capaccino Bay (Bobby) drilled the tank. Fishes and Corals are very happy (Always 78 degree) All Equipment is top of line. You will never have problem with my tank. I don't want to seperate a tank, now...

When i started in this hobby I was dying with all the stuff i was told i HAD TO DO... test everything on a regular basis, fill the water every minute, watch this, add that... it is enough to make a newbie scream and run the other way... between the testing and skimming and trying to keep my...

Saw this on Marine Depot (Ultralife Float Switch, link below) it says it can control a pump which I guess measn that it can be used to make an auto topoff system. Anybody have experience with this one or something like it? Any recommendations? I'm looking for something more reliable than my...

What is better for dosing alk and calcium? Kalk or 2-part systems. Thanks, Josh

I want to use kalk in my system but dont have room to put a container over my sump to gravity feed it. Is there an alternative or am I out of luck?

Hi all, I am new to the forums as well as reef keeping and thought I would seek some expert advise before buying my tank. I have experience with salt tanks, but have never had a reef. I travel often I am rarely gone for more than a week. I want to create a low maintnace tank that is stable...
