    evaporation,auto fill

    lols I didn't mean to start a fire storm about the float switch. Anyways mine has an adjustable float and ONLY the float sits in the water. Yea they can stick, I've heard stories. I've also heard stories about dirty ice from jet planes falling through roofs and smacking some poor sap asleep...

    evaporation,auto fill

    I burn off approx 2 gallons a day off a 55 gal. I finally got mine connected to my new ro unit though a float switch in the sump. So 10 gallons in three days off a tank the size of yours isn't so much.

    check out Kaotica.com I used this system with 4 lights on a 55 and am VERY VERY PLEASED. Plus the whole system costs under $ 40 and is upgradable.

    DIY Base Rock. Anyone w/ experience?

    Give it some time to spread. I seeded my tank with coralline by getting the garf grunge. After 2 months I'm getting small specks growing on my agrocrete. There are several larger spots on the back side of my overflow (it grows best in high flow areas). The indo pacific site...

    Need Info on Sun and Plate Corals

    I put my sun in a small bowl for the first week and fed it every morning when the actinics come on. I just floated the bowl while I fed it to keep the other varmits away and allow time for it to soak up the food. It opens now every time the actinics come on. Its yet to get as pretty as the...
