    Problems
    • adding an equipment tank on top of the sump to have all the equipment to my eye level



    its the only way!!!!!

    I was under the impression that ALK needed to be 7-8 DKH when running a carbon system like bio beads. Is this not the case for pellets?

    Tell me more about your auto feeder. It's something I want for fish who needs I cannot meet...

    Where/how do you install it?  How do you use it?

    I decided to get the eheim because it was on spécial during boxing day.
    its pretty easy to install. Put the time, how mnay times a day you want to feed, and during that time, how many times you want it to turn.
    I made a video for you.
    the only thing is, that machine need to be sideways. i dont have a top. plus my Mh would probably killed it.
    so to me it was the best palce to put it..enjoy.

    Thanks.  I'm troubled with my no canopy system to add one of these.  I see how it works on your system and it looks good IMO. I'm not sure how to adapt it to mine in an every day manner while making it look like it's hidden.

    I'm thinking it would be very hard.

    This lack of a canopy is a pain I the arse.

    Nice looking fish BTW.  How did you find your angles are with your coral?  How long have you had the angels?  Any issues?  If not, why do you think you are successful?

    hey buddy,

    for the power.. get a UPS and hook up the recirc pump and your controller.
    I can probably put something on a relay to trip and notify you via the controller ( email or web ) that says that we are out of power. I think you have a few serial connections left on it we could use to detect a loop. ( add to the todo list )...Oh. and I got the rj12 connectors.. let me know if u still need a cable.. and what length.

    having mollies in the tank is not working too well, the flow in the tank is a bit to strong for them.
    they are alive but never they will go down from the surface

    I have also seen his huge tank!!!! I just wish I had the room to
    put one of those babies at my place!!!!
    anyways..... I believe that once he get all that pesky algae under control
    his tank would be a very awsome tank to admire.
