That's a great plan. I started using a webcam on my tank several years ago when I travel. I found a relatively inexpensive one off Amazon. I generally keep it focused on the water line in the sump, but I can "drive it" with my phone and view the tank. I like to watch feeding time (which also checks the autofeeder). I had a little tank emergency years ago and was able to get a friend in the house. I could also watch the friend and troubleshoot over the webcam. Turned out to be a false alarm, which was a relief!My best friend is also a Reefer who lives 5 minutes away. We've both have had tanks since college, 20+ years ago. He has his ways, I have mine but at least it's someone who can identfy and trouble shoot if needed. I have a live webcam watching also.
As I read this, I heard my ATO pump sucking wind. Oops. Good thing I had extra water made! I also need to order an extra pump....in case I burn this one out. I would never do such a thing. Come to think of it, the pump I'm using now IS the extra pump from the last one I burned out. Oops...:cool::rolleyes:Good morning
Beep Beep Beep
My ATO has gone wonky
Hydros is coming to save me.
Could you get a cheap hamper, cut the bottom out and sit it down over the reservoir.Good morning! Mid 50s in late June...I'll take it!! Things are going ok with the kids moving in. Just a slight toddler meltdown last night, but naptime was a little messed up. Thankfully, letting him carry the ketchup solved the problem. I REALLY need to work on a lock for the sump and my ATO reservoir....I'm terrified of ketchup in my sump and/or reservoir! o_O I might be able to just add some handles and put one of those childproof latches on the sump. Not too sure about the reservoir. It has a flip lid and is made of acrylic. At the very least, I could probably anchor it down with some gorilla tape. Any other ideas??
Have a great hump day!!

PM me your address and it's yours. I have another whole Tunze ATO out there somewhere I can send you. Not sure it's all there though. I haven't used it since I joined the 75 to the big sump.
Inspiring idea!Could you get a cheap hamper, cut the bottom out and sit it down over the reservoir.
