That’s pretty nifty little doser.
Let us know how it works out !

they are quite compact and perfect for a nano

I almost snagged one for my Kalkwasser. Went the lazy man's way and just dose it via ATO.

They work great. My only concern will be during Hurricane season if I lose power, but if I'm home its no big deal.

Nice ricordea shrooms I think they are?
Yuma?

Nice setup you have there!

 

[nex64]

Those are ricordeas from either Florida or parts of Puerto Rico or near.

Yumas are a little more distinguished, have bubbles usually on the mouth.

Either way they are nice!

You have a great setup. Everything looks wonderful and it looks like you put a lot of thought and planning into it.
I have recently purchased a waterbox cube 20 also. I look forward to following along with your build.

Moved some corals around and sold a few off to make room for some new ones. Trying to make the tank more colourful and not a green blob.

Beautiful aquascaping job. It looks like you have had some great growth and success since you have started. Thanks for the update

Wow! Beautiful tank! I like all of your coral choices too.

How has the ato been working out for you? Are you happy with your selection or would you have went with another brand knowing what you know now?

So far so good...no issues yet. Very easy to set up and reliable. I clean the optical eye with a toothbrush everytime I do a water change and all good. Its super small which is nice for a nano. As for larger tanks I'm sure it'd work just as well.

I was looking for one myself and was mainly just hoping to get a little bit of information from someone who had experience with it. Where do you mount your sensor in the Cube 20?

 

[Wilson1985]

In the third rear chamber with my heater and main pump.

 

[Olefreebe]

That's exactly what I was thinking. I hate to bombard you with questions but your setup is very similar to mine. I went with my heater in the second chamber as the third chamber was always lower with water.

 

[Wilson1985]

Anytime man. I have my middle chamber filled with marine pure biospheres and first chamber running an in-tank basket with in-tank filter floss, more marine pure, and carbon/gfo
