Auto Water Change Kamoer X2SR + Reefactory Level Keeper: Brainstorming how to disengage Level Keeper/ATO while Kamoer X2SR operating
I've been wanting to set up auto water changes for a while now, but before I buy the X2SR I can't figure out how I'm going to set it up. If worst comes to worst I'll just make it drain and fill simultaniously. I would preferably take the most efficient option and drain directly from the sump...- reefsaver

Automatic water changer setup
Hi guys, Wanted some advice about setting up my new Apex Dos as an automatic water changer. My system is about 500lt (110G I think). I was doing 100-125lt change a month. I was thinking of splitting that 125lt change over 30 days so doing 4lt a day with this system. Is this how others would...- wonderphil-reef

Automatic Water Change Question with ReefDose
Hi all, I want to set up an AWC. But I don't want to spend hundreds. Do you see anything wrong with this? I have a ReefDose 4 currently only using 2 heads. I don't think I'd trust the peristaltic pumps to carry saltwater 10+ feet vertically though. So what if I set up a 5g bucket in a cabinet...- Diablojoe

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...- Jax15
