@Lost in the Sauce that's what us girls like to call "neat" and "tidy". Vs the mansketti that you all seem to keep and tell everyone your "working on a control board and a way to manage all the cords".

I do not belong in the cool girls club.
I do not belong with the valley girls, or the preppy chicks. I don't know where I fit in..

I'll get a cabin and just throw all that in there.


@rmorris_14 nice tank!!!

A book shelf might work...

New tank time!

10s

I run 2 of the 10's in my 4 footer and have to keep them under 40% juice, those will push plenty of water!

Once the tank is setup you're not going to want to revisit the decision... Nothing 'fixes' up like a coat of paint and its such a fast thing todo.

I'm 'enabling'

+1, I would freshen her up quick now! I was going to go black with our stand, but the boss picked white. I'm glad she did!

What's going on here?

And I thought you were going to ding me on the off-center rug

Dang knots!! A.k.a, "character"

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

I'm really intimidated by all the equipment TBH

Yo I would be too. I have no idea how to program and use all that gear, but it will be very nice for you to have, when you do. The DOS heads alone are fantastic.

I was going to get to the rug and non-centered center painting but the wood blemish bothered me more. First things first.

Random orbit sander w/ 120 grit paper, putty then random orbit sander w/ 180 grit paper are your friends.

I'll have you know, the pictures are perfectly centered!

DOS = auto water changes.

I was looking for a used DOS when I came accross my AutoAqua touch. Which I am very happy with.

 

[rmorris_14]

I thought DOS was for dosing?

Elaborate please. I'm kinda wanting one for a small frag tank. Don't know a darn thing about em though.

AWC for dummies ..... Go!

Please send me some of that cheeba you’re growing up there! I want non-centered things to look centered too!

They are, but Also can be used as an awc setup.

You have a bucket of saltwater and an empty bucket next to the tank. You run a tube from one bucket to a head on the dos then from that head to the tank. Do the same with the other DOS head to the other bucket. Now run them at the same time.
Tank water will go to the empty bucket as fresh saltwater goes to the tank.
The main thing you want to make sure is that the DOS heads pump at the same rate. You may need to replace their tubes. DIY tubes are a better option then the manufactured ones.... I did a little research.

My AutoAqua uses optical sensors and previous run-times to consecutively drain then refill a portion of my sump for my AWC.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Ok so it's not changing the water level, but rather pumping out at the same rate as pumping in, so then any auto top of would not get triggered, correct? That's where I was working out the hiccup in my brain, I was thinking, oh no the ato would be triggered to fill if water level is lowering.

Ahh. I see. So that's where others are utilizing dosers.

You should also be able to program it to disregard the ato optical sensor input while the process is running.

Y’all aren’t helping the intimidation level!

super interesting stuff though!
