I meant to type DE-humidifer. sorry for the typo

I thought salt doesn't evaporate with the water which is why ato's work w/o changing salinity. I think if the house/room humidity is high due to the tank then yes, but salt water no. You can put a humidifier in the room, but I think you have a higher rate of evaporation.

That's cool. I just have a alarm and a Nest.

I have a Water bug connected to mine to throw an alarm/email when water is sensed below the sump. This way if the sump ever leaks everything gets shut off. I also connected float switches to my ATO container to automatically fill it (Tunze ATO in use). I use a 2 gallon container (to...

Very easy to make one. At a fraction of the cost but if your like me, and to lazy buying is faster. A ton of dyi on the internet.

At least we are not heading down the "which salt is best" road.....

Thanks, This is the regular TM salt. I read some of those articles a ways back, but didn't pick up/remember about the water sitting to cause more precipitate. I do continuous water changes so mine sits for a number of days. I have a 20 gallon container and do ~1 gallon everyday. If I...

A few months ago I switched to Tropic Marin from using ESV for almost 3 years. I switch mainly due to TM would be easier to get and I wouldn't have to store boxes and boxes as I typically by as much as I can when on sale. So I been happy with the results and no worse or better then ESV...

I guess the tank builders would know best. I guess it's good that you can and did water proof it. Ya learn something new everyday.....

Not to derail the thread , but Homosote? If this gets wet, and it will by the tank, it's going to start to fall apart. Isn't the standard foam or neoprene?

I have no doubt this system works and I am thinking of adding it to my new build. I do wonder why all the rocket scientist chemist on the various reef forums are not using this? I have yet to see any of them chime in on the chemical side of this process/system.

I have almost everything on my apex, lights, temp, pumps, alarms, ato and water container top with kalk, water changing, ro water maker, and a few more. For critical things, I always wait for a few months before upgrading and will be waiting for things to settled down. I did see beta testers...

I converted my generator to work off gas, propane and natural gas. After Sandy, I was convinced propane is the way to go. I have a 40 LB tank which will last about 48 hours. I hope to never have to wait on line for gas again. From my research, generators which are meant for motors, ie...

I picked up 2 Kessil A360WE for my upgrade. When asked Kessil, they said 2 would cover a 48" long with no problem.

I hear you. I was getting my tank ready for my 2 week business trip, and I probably had everything go wrong the day before. Pump broke, RO shutoff wouldn't shut off, Ro ball valve started to leak. I've learned to do all the maintenance and checks 2-3 days prior. For me everything goes...

Just that water changes are the only way to do things, if this process works, it's removes the need and lowers cost pretty significantly.

errr, is this good or bad? I'm still leaning on setting this up on my new build. The results seem to speak for themselves, but there is the old mentality which needs to be convinced.

yeah, I can play tourist for a bit. I'll do my best. If I scout out anything good I'll be sure to report. Maybe I'll have to bring an empty suitcase. Wait, I'm already doing that for some custom shirts and other things.

So met with a potential kitchen designer whom I challenged to incorporate a 120 gallon tank. He put it as a divider between the kitchen and dining room with 4 sides exposed (the box on the right). This is not in anyway finalized, but I'm sure there are some down sides to a 4 side exposed tank...
