    AWC - Ecotech Versa VX-1 vs GHL Doser 2.2 Maxi

    I'm currently in the planning phase of a new tank build, and am looking at ordering parts in the coming weeks. I'm set on running an Automatic Water Change system and will be running 2x 1000L IBC's for my Saltwater Mixing Station. However, I'm stuck on which Dosing Pump to choose for my AWC's...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    AWC recommendations

    Hey everyone, I am curious as to your opinions about a more reliable AWC system. I have a Red Sea 900 XL tank and have been using a DOS for about a year to change 2.5gal/day over a 3hr period. My issue is that the system will perform fine for about 6mo and then I notice that it’s not putting in...

    Mixing Station / Automatic Water Change

    I have been planning out a 300 gallon build, and wanted to make the maintenance easier and minimize carrying water through the house. So finally put together the mixing station located in my garage and have started using daily automatic water changes with a DOS on my current tank. I routed...

    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...

    Intermediate Topic Automatic Water Change #1

    A drop of water. This is royalty-free image from Pixabay. Automated Water Changes Automation is all the rage these days, with a sizable percentage of reefers believing that a controller is essential to the keeping of a reef tank. It's not, but it is a nice-to-have as long as you are sensible...

    Recommendations wanted - pumps

    Hi all. I have two pump related issues that I'd like some advice on. Please note that I do not currently have a controller but one may be in my future. 1) I have a Bubble Magnus with three pumps but I'd like to have the ability to dose FOUR solutions (hello, Triton method). Should I replace it...
