Hey All-
I am just getting back into reefing after being out for the past ~12+ years and have a Biocube 32 set up (again - this is the same tank I had before, but with fancy LEDs now!). Back when I was in reefing before, auto water changes were not really a thing. I definitely see the advantages - less carrying buckets, more consistent performance, etc.
The issue I am seeing is that I am not sure what solutions there are out there that are suitable to AIO tanks besides maybe the DOS - and an Apex+DOS combination would cost over 3x what I paid for the actual tank I am running!
The Auto Aqua solution _might_ work, but requires an additional pump in the tank where space is already at a premium.
So - if you have an AIO and AWC - how are you doing it? Any lessons learned? Is it worth spending $$$$ on a DOS?
Thanks!
