    so, your son, the one in the picture has a 75 gallon bearded dragon tank
    and you have a 2.5 gallon reef tank

    would you consider adopting a 45 year old bloke?

    This is my auto topoff jug and fuge light. I use IV tubing and set the drip rate.. Works pretty well.. Especially in a small tank....

    how exactly would i go about setting up an ato like you have. that would be so handy for me. i have to add around 2 cups of water a day to keep the salinity fairly stable and i have a spot directly above the tank so it could be gravity fed no problem.

    you could use a gallon jug... and a valve like they sell at petsmart. They are usually blue.. I just used IV tubing because I can get it easily..
