Frag Tank Build

Mical · Feb 1, 2020

This weekends update: I added a DIY ATO set-up. It's a Toms Aqualifter pump (I had laying around), an ATO reservoir I previously purchased from "Luckreef" for one of my other tanks and an inexpensive digital timer from Amazon. (Sorry BRS yours was $20 this was $12 - exact same timer) I did use from BRS -> https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/1-4-ro-tubing-brackets-niche3d.html The single unit style. These work great for ALL kinds of things. A BRS employee makes them on a 3D printer.

Set up was quick & easy and after experimenting a couple of days, I think I have timing correct. At 6am it runs for 15 mins (since evap time is higher during daylight hours) at 6pm it runs for 10 mins. At best guess it evaps about a 1/2gal per day.

How long did you wait til you received the frag tank from luckreef? i just ordered one and its been 2 weeks and the tank didn't arrive yet.

Luckreef was about 2 weeks. Wait until you see how he packs it -you'll be amazed.

Contact him, he's very straight forward about his deals. It's probably an Ebay screw-up.
