Hey all does anyone do automated water changes? I am anti Neptune so I am trying to figure out another option. Any recommendations?

I've thought up ways to do it with sprinkler solenoid valves just never felt motivated enough to build it.

I have a kamor dosing thingy, but I think you need 2? One to pump out and one to pump in?

To make it fully automated you'd probably need 3, 1 to pump from the tank, 1 to pump into the tank, and one for fresh water into the mixing tank. I was thinking I'd have one pump out of the tank and one pump out of the mixing tank and then I'd refill and remix the new saltwater manually so there's be less chance of overflowing that container. My main concern would be a valve failing on the drain pipe from the tank so it'd need a failsafe to break siphon since I was considering a gravity fed system for out of the tank. Pumping it out you'd just basically use a float to turn off the pump.

You said post your favorites,
So besides any torch because I’m obsessed.
It’s a tie for second…

The Mean Green is nice! Black Hole is a good one too so keep your eyes out for those. That Bower might get a little big for your tank, but it's a beauty! Another great Micro is the Jelly Belly or Jelly Bean. @RiptideAquaculture either of those coming out this sale?

Well, I'm going to miss the live stream today. Time to head home from work but I have to go meet my wife at my parents and then drop my daughter off at a friend's house and then pick up a new bed for my son so he doesn't have to climb into a bunk bed with his broken arm...

I’m a bottom feeder I’ll take what I can get.
But will house what is appropriate. Agreed.
Bet a rock flower will fit.

Here’s my controller…. With and without cover. I have an Apex jr. as well as the Apex EL. Got the EL to run the trident and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Apex - I can automate a lot of the tedious tasks such as dosing and water changes (all run from garage into house) and water tests. Also have a great way to analyze and view data.

Nothing centralized except for temperature. Lots of knobs to turn

Because that’s what I was told and at five points/controller I probably should have posted the wave makers too!

Got a cute video of my pink streaked jumping into a scuffle between my Ruby long fin wrasse and clown fish.

Jumps into the mix; “Oh, you guys are fighting? Okay, I just want this shrimp.”

hope you join us tonight for the live stream!
