Marty's 180g [My Elusive Shrimp]

Dude, wicked idea! I dig it.

...soooooo... did you come up with a solution for not splitting your right side 1" drain and still feeding your fuge??? ;D

 

Not yet. No danger of plugging yet, so I have time, just gotta reconfigure it. It's going to have to be a weekend project and I think next weekend I will have some time.

I'll put up some pics when the solution gets implimented.

 

Marty,

You know I really like your build, etc.
But, I feel this ATO system is a bit over the top elborate.
HOwever, if it works for you, then by all means keep using it.

I don't know if you've seen mine, it can easily be modified to fit your needs.- NO elctricity, NO sensors, etc.

Thanks. It's actually just a tunze system, but I had to break the siphon since my reservoir is so high. So that's pretty much my only modification. My sump can handle 25 gallons and my reservoir is 20 gallons, so in the event of a failure I am not without breathing room.

I'm going to be reading about your now. Thanks for the link. There is always a better way to skin a cat.

 

Looks like I am starting to get some coralline algae growth. Probably seeded by my margarita snail that had some on it's shell. At least I'm hoping it's coralline.

 

That one dark purple patch certainly looks like it

 

You're on your way to a purple, thriving tank!

 

Great idea!

 

:thumbs_up

Awesome. I kept staring at it trying to figure if I was seeing things. lol

Thanks. It is working great so far. No issues whatsoever.
