Tank is 90Gallon.
Rotational moulded ATO and AWC water tanks to sit under sump - to be made - give me your ideas?
There are for ATO and AWC (1% per day = 3.2l /day)
I am thinking about having 2 x 55L tanks made - they will sit on their end - 870mm high x 455mm Deep x 155 wide.
So two sitting together in one end of my sump will take up 310mm of space.
Now the issues start - these tank will just fit under my stand, they will be standing on their ends.
There will be 10mm of room from the top of the tank to the underside of the stand top.
So once in place I will not be able to get inside without removing them.
so what do i need?
Robotank - Reef-pi controller.
ATO - tank.
1) Drain plug at the front - just in case I need to empty and move them.
2) Low level, high level sensors on the rear - tank is 455mm deep - tank is 550mm inside sump, so lots of room behind.
3) Float valve for RODI water in, controlled with a solenoid valve - operate once every couple of day with a timer, it will need to be tuned to suit.
4) Access hold at the top for a rubber bung and electrical cord exit.
I could add an emergency drain?
Might install another fitting for a john guest fitting that the pump exit plugs into on the inside and the exit tube plugs into on the outside... keep it look tidy.
White tube for RODI exit and Blue for Salt water.
AWC - Tank
This will use a macro program on reef-pi to control - now idea how to sort that yet.
But I am thinking the same fittings for this tank also.
Front with drain plug - a level indicator would be handy... any ideas?
Back - low level, high level and float valve for filling. Not added is the john guest fitting for exit tube.. I like that idea.
