    RSR 170 Evaporation Question

    I’m a little confused by a recent development in my Red Sea Reefer 170 setup. To give some backstory, I’ve been dosing Kalkwasser continuously with the use of a versa pump for about 2 months. I also do continuous auto-water changes with 2 versa pumps. 6 days ago, I increased my Kalk dosage from...

    Auto water change?

    I just set up an auto water change. I used a jebao dose pump and ran a test and worked fine. Has anyone had any issues doing anything like this? I have to have one of the lines going in the the sump. Can this cause a siphon? I have the dosing pump higher than the sump. Any advice or suggestions?

    So we’re installing a new 200g system in a finished basement. It just recently occurred to me that because there’s an unfinished room off the basement, we have open trusses, and we’re going to have a hole in the ceiling anyway from installing new electrical circuits, that we can have a fish...

    Auto Water Change - Salt Change Idea (higher alk / cal to reduce daily two part input)

    I have recently successfully implemented an auto water change system into my 120 gallon mixed reef, and I absolutely love it. I'd now like to pick your brains regarding the salt I am using and the one I may start using. Currently I mix up around 55 gallons of Red Sea salt, every month or so...

    Ways to Dose NOPOX

    I am currently running a 55 gallon mixed reef. I have been dosing about 1.5-2ml's of NOPOX daily by hand. I currently run a Neptune DOS to do daily water changes of 2500ml. The Clean water reservoir holds 17500mls for a 7 day supply of water changes. Would it be feasible to to dose 10-14MLs of...

    Water Changes or AWCs... is one better than the other?

    A few months back I set up auto water changes on my Waterbox 130. It has worked amazingly well.. in theory. Back when I was doing bi-weekly 10-15% water changes, I would notice a happy shift in my tank after doing it. Corals and fish seemed to love the refresh, and things did well. With the AWC...

    Neptune Dose

    Anyone have a neptune dose for auto water change and when you watch the return line you don't see water going back into the tank ? I am watching water leave the tank but not enter. When I look at the neptune dose log it shows even return for taken out.

    Too much water change a bad thing?

    Is there such a thing as too much regular water change? Apart from the cost consideration, is changing 20% weekly, split over 7-days, better or worse that than say 10% once a week?

    Is auto water change overrated with sand?

    I have a new build, a Waterbox 130.4. From the beginning I planned on setting up auto water change, running a line through the wall to a holding tank in my laundry room. I’m at the point now where it’s ready to set up.. but I’m having doubts whether it’s even worth it. I have sand, and one of...

    Hi all, I've started using a Neptune DOS for a daily auto water change. Once a week mix 60 ltr (13 gallons) in my storage tank and leave it to run - so far working well. I have a small powerhead in the storage tank to mix and keep things moving. Typically the water sits around 68' room...

    Auto water change. Which pump?

    i want to setup an auto water change with dosing pumps. I want to use Neptune systems or GHL and I’m leaning toward Neptune, but the cost is very high. I was just wondering the thoughts of other reefers in the community??? And maybe what setups others are using?

    What Dosing pumps do you use for your Automated Water changes?

    I know this is a pretty HOT topic! I currently use the Neptune DOS that connected to my Apex controller. I have it pre-programmed to take out a certain amount of milliliters throughout the day. I love it but it's a bit noisy that's for sure! It's ok for me b/c mine is installed in another...
