Bathroom sink?
Too far unfortunately. I'm kinda lost as to how it works. Does the dirty tank water touch the faucet?

Bathroom sink?
Here is a good video on how it works. The valve that you can open/close it great as well. This way no running back to the sink and having more drain than needed. It’s also great when filling as well.Too far unfortunately. I'm kinda lost as to how it works. Does the dirty tank water touch the faucet?
Soo how fast can you do a water change and what tricks do you have to speed the process.
Also how often and how much.
I am trying to keep up with weekly 10% changes and tell myself going into it "I won't make this a 2 hour ordeal." Welllll I fail every time.
Working with a 40g cube so it shouldn't be t
Smart plug is a great idea. Gonna steal that one.Before moving to AWC's, I was able to do a 45g WC in about 45 minutes. This was strictly a WC though that did not include siphoning the sand.
Used a Python to drain the water and then a utility pump to move the water from the Brute can in the garage to the tank (used a smart plug so I could turn on/off the pump from the tank)
Didn't even think of the bucket vac sitting in my garage!!I do a biweekly 5 gal water change on my Reefer 625. I premix 5 gal of saltwater the day before and use a bucket vac to suck out 5 gal from the sump. Then add in the new saltwater. Takes about 5 min.
It's the scraping of the back glass, cleaning off the gyres, and replacing the carbon that takes up the other 30 min.
Yeah it's great. It actually sucks out the water too fast (as in I can only do 1 section of my sump per bucket), but that's not such a bad problem to have. I got a Craftsman one from Amazon for less than $50 during a sale.Didn't even think of the bucket vac sitting in my garage!!
Ummmmm...as a Floridian, who's Growing Palm Trees.....you are correct, except for coconut palms ....they absolutely love saltwater, even better used saltwater from your tank with all the nutrients in it. I always dump my used 5 gallons at a time directly on to my coconut palm and it loves it!Salt water full strength like this isn’t good for any plant you have near there. Bad for the environment. I would put it into the drain instead.
I have a 90 gallon system and do a 10 gallon water change pretty much weekly - though sometimes I skip a week if all looks good and nutrients aren’t out of whack.
I should break it up and do other cleaning on another day, but I typically do it all at once - clean the seams, clean some tougher marks near gravel that flipper doesn’t get, scrape along the water line, brush off the overflow box algae, put some F-Aiptasia where needed, reglue a frag that turbo snail knocks over (or BTA moves too close), change filter socks and clean skimmer (I also do these 2 things one other time during the week). Then, cleaning the external glass and putting everything away. All of this this is typically 1.5 to 2 hrs.
No fair, Coconut palm grow right on the beach. They drop their nuts into ocean water to be carry away to distance land. I sprouted coconuts collected from the Texas coast, probably arrive from coconut in Florida, according to the current pattern of the Gulf of Mexico. Inland plants are another matter.Ummmmm...as a Floridian, who's Growing Palm Trees.....you are correct, except for coconut palms ....they absolutely love saltwater, even better used saltwater from your tank with all the nutrients in it.

My coconut palm has grown twice as fast as the person I got mine from , who was the Original grower, his and mine are not even close any more.
Some plants at least in Florida actually love and need Saltwater!
yeah we got a good amount today in pinellasRainy RODI prep day. I need a mixing station!
