Just started AWC 2 weeks ago with my liter meter 3. 1% per day on my 180 mixed. So far, so good. No changes in tank to report yet. Like the simplicity though....what awc system do you have? benefits? negatives?
Not doing this yet but it's in the plan. Carrying buckets up from the basement gets old.
It will be less likely for precipitate too I believe.I set one up using a DOS at approximately 1%/day. I was pretty consistent with water changes prior to setting up AWC so I can't say I've seen a huge difference. The difference for me has been reduced maintenance. Plus I don't heat my saltwater anymore which probably saves some energy vs running the DOS for a few hours/day.
I recently purchased a stenner pump to set one up. Just have to figure out how to get the lines from my water storage area to the tank. I'm on a slab so it's going to have to go through the attic!
How did it start a Dino issue?I use to do AWC while it was nice not having to worry about changing water it didn't help and kind of started a Dino issue. So I stopped and went back to a as needed Water change approach. So times one thing can cause other problems you never thought about. My old way allows better bottom of the tank cleaning and is gravity feed and only takes 10 minutes every few weeks.
