ATO ideas

Here is a quote from nanoreef on that autohub diy float:

 

So with this one, how do you plug in the pump?

 

Looks like you cut the end off an extension cord. Here are the instructions:

Spectrapure offers a number of different options from inexpensive to elaborate. They don't seem to promote them as much as their RO/DI systems but they are high quality and built in their own facility. I use the UPLC-II and its much like the Tunze but I feel is better.

 

Yeah the UPLC-II is very nice... but expensive and on backorder presently. I am on the waiting list.

 

I am so cheap I use IV tubing and set the drip rate.. It works awesome and was free.. I know its not super technology or anything and sometimes I may have to add a little extra but it keeps my salinity stable... Here's a pic from my pico build....

 

I also used this on my old 5.5gal and my last tank which was a 20H....

 

Thanks a lot for all of the help guys.

 

Three questions:

1. Do you plan on topping off with RO/DI water?

2. Can you plumb the RO/DI unit directly to your tank?

3. Can you fit a float valve in your evaporation chamber?

 

1. I use RO water from a fill-up station that has a UV sterilizer on it too. It's been working good so far

2. Don't have one.

3. No, I don't think a float valve will fit, dimensions are 5.75" x 3.5". So if one can fit in a box that size, then I guess it will fit.
