Where did you get the container from and what size hose is that.

 

I have exactly the same container to transfer RODI. 2.5 gallon water container at your local Walmart! $5~6? I forgot.

 

That's exactly right exactly. As far as the hose I really can't remember I got it at lowes

congrats on the ATO, I think I need to come up with something for mine as well. Thinking of this actually just reminded me I need to top off, and sure enough my pump was only a few inches from sucking air LOL, so K+ to you for that my friend (needing to add water almost every day worries me it'll just be a matter of time before I forget it once)

I'm getting off topic, but I wanted to say I just read in another post that you got some new lights and a skimmer yesterday?! Thats awesome how do you like them?

 

Yea man I did. Well the skimmer was missing a part but its not a big deal because the seller is sending it right away and i found a way to temporaraly mod it. As far as the lights I am very very pleased. I bought a 4 bulb programable odyssea fixture. Spent 105 on it and I honestly don't see why people buy more expensive fixtures. Here are some pics of the lights.

 

Also here is a list of my livestock and a general update.
2 clowns
1 sixline wrass
1 cleaner shrimp
1 condy anemone

I will be adding a pair of fire fish, and a mandarin dragonet in the future. Any other ideas for fish. The skimmer I have is rated for 150 so I feel like I can overstock the tank a tad bit.
As far as my parameters I am at 0 amonia, 0 nitrite, and 20 nitrate(5) and my ph has been consistantly at 8.0. My salinity has been stable at 1.026.

 

Lights are looking nice!

 

If you went by their rep, then in a years time see if you can say the same thing. I myself plan on getting those fixtures for my 20H (if i ever get the money to set it up) but it would be an interim setup until i was able to piece together an LED setup.

 

I'll see how it does over time

 

Oh I'm not saying they're trash lights. They've certainly improved in the last few years.
