yamahariders 120 tank.

Thanks. It seems to be pretty cool so far. I am looking at getting another Power Bar module so I can put an auto topoff on it. I have an idea of using an aqua lifter to make an auto top off. The aqualifter pumps 3.5 gal of water an Hr (estimated...havent confirmed yet.). I am thinking of setting one up to run 8 min 30 sec 2 times a day or 4 min 15 sec 4 times a day to top off the gallon of water I evaporate. I am sure I will have to do some better calculations and take measurements to verify but I think it will work. if not I will just put a float switch on it and be done

 

I just read through your upgrade thread, nice setup you got there, I like the sailfin and trigger. Good luck with the GHA

 

Thanks....I am still a long ways from where I want to be but I will get there. Especially with all the support and help that I get on here.

 

ATO set up.

Well in the theme of being lazy...LOL. I set up an auto topoff for the tank. I used it in the past but only while I was on vacation due to not liking a bucket sitting in my living room. I had to do some DIY on the float switch holder due to having used the previous brackets on a different set up and them not working on this one. I actually used this bracket to hook the pump discharge line to also. Well here are some pics.









I was able to mod one of the original float switch brackets to hold the hard tubing in place in the bucket because it kept wanting to coil up and float.

 

nice job on the top off man and custom egg crate bracket. This is how i did mine, just used a magnet cleaner and duct tape.

 

Lookin' pretty slick there Y-rider! Nice work on the ATO.

 

I didnt even think about using a magnet to hold it....Good Idea. I will definatly keep this diy in mind. I bet it was a little easier to set the float to the right depth going this route...LOL. I really wanted to get some plexi and bend it and make it look more professional but I would have had to spend $ on that and I had the egg crate laying around so I decided to go that route. As much money as I have spent on it lately I have to be a little tight on somethings .

 

Thanks for the compliment.

 

six line lost its eye

Well, I thought something had happened to my sixline. I havent seen it in about a 1 1/2 weeks. I figured it was dead in the rocks. I looked up a few minutes ago and seen it out swimming. It is missing an eye. It actually looks like it is healing up. other than that it looks healthy and I saw it picking something off the rocks also. I hope it will be alright.


Sorry this is the best picture I could get.

 

Wow no wonder you didn't see it for a week. Congrats on having a survivor.
