Made some changes to my system this week and loving it so far.
1. I used to have 5 gallon buckets filled with RODI and Kalk for my ATO. I removed that setup and hooked up a 24vdc solenoid to my 45 gallon fresh RODI reservoir for my ATO. Going to love not having to fill up buckets anymore. Hooked the DOS
2. Received the Neptune DOS on Tuesday and hooked up. Dosing Reef fusion 1 and 2 for ALK and Cal. So far everything is running very tight and stable. It's only been a couple days but my parameters haven't budged .20 on cal or alk.
3. Installed the JBJ 1/3HP chiller yesterday. Ran water through it today and set it up. Less than 2.5 hrs and it went from 81.7 to 78. Wow this is going to be a great addition.
I have only had the DOS up and running since Tuesday and I am loving it so far. Super easy to install and set up. My parameters are getting tighter by the day. I am confident after a couple of weeks and after increasing the dosing then my parameters will be within .5-10 of what I am shooting for.
This is my Trident reading from last week. This is almost a 1dKh swing throughout the day when I was dosing Kalk in my ATO, running a CARX, and manually dosing ALK to keep my levels up.
This is what it looks like since Tuesday since adding the DOS. I have my ALK set at 8 and my Calcium set at 420. I have been increasing my CAL slowly to get it to 420 and will play around with ALK a little more to see if I can get it tighter. I have it dosing more throughout the day than at night which that seems to be where I am dropping at. I am going to increase more at night to see if I can keep it there. However, this is looking really promising. About to pick up another DOS for aminos, etc.
Loving the addition of the chiller as well. I dropped almost 4 degrees in 2.5hrs. My temp has been consistent between 78-79 degrees all night and day. I am going to see if I can get it dialed in a little more. So far love the consistency.
New camera came in today. All I can say is WOW what a night and day difference. I played around with it tonight and took a couple of pictures before the camera's battery died. Can't wait to document all of my pieces.
