    ATO keeps filling

    I feed about one time a day. Some days when my 19 month son slides the stool over to the tank and says, "ish ish" I can't help but to feed them again.

    ATO keeps filling

    When I was setting up the APEX I googled tons of different configurations, and I read both the Official and Unofficial Guides. I have the FeedA cycle set to shut off the power heads, return pump, the skimmer, and the ATO. I have the returns and power heads off to keep from blowing the food all...

    ATO keeps filling

    Hey all, I have the Tunze ATO and for some reason it keeps overfilling. I have to always shut it off because the annoying beep it makes. It seems to happen the most when I refill the container holding the freshwater. I have the probe and float switch in my return side of the pump. I can't...

    WTB:Midas Blenny

    I have been looking all over the place for a Midas Blenny. Liveaquaria had them so I placed the order and got an email saying it was backordered. I keep calling the Aquarium Center, Hidden Reef, Pets Plus, and Value Pet every week. They all say that they order them but none ever come in. I...

    I wish I would of gotten this when I first started the build This added membrane makes a huge difference!! For me it does about a gallon every ten min or so. I still have to figure out a permanent place to mount the RO?DI unit. Right now I hand the supply and waste water tubes out the window...

    "If you have $ for a new tank then you should have $ to add a new bathroom" Wife

    If you noticed that I started the tank on the particle board stand then I built the solid wood one I had to move it filled from one stand to the other. I have 3 rubbermaid 30 gallon cans that I use to do water changes. I installed the sump, dual reactor, skimmer, and Apex. Then I pumped out...

    "If you have $ for a new tank then you should have $ to add a new bathroom" Wife

    This is the start of the cycle. I used anAPI test kit to follow the cycle process and watch ammonia spike etc. Rather than try and match the color to the card I would test both my tanks and do it that way. Since I knew my Nano tanks parameters were on point I would just compare the two. You...

    "If you have $ for a new tank then you should have $ to add a new bathroom" Wife

    While the tank was still in the basement I started to order the sand bed, rock, BRS dual medai reactor, two Tunze power heads, and an Apex tank controller with an extra energy bar. I had most of it shipped to my office so my wife didn't freak out when 2 GIANT boxes came to the house filled with...

    "If you have $ for a new tank then you should have $ to add a new bathroom" Wife

    My oldest daughter and I built the canopy together. So I can blame it on the because when I went to put it onto the tank it was 3/4 of an inch too short. I forgot to account for the width of the board and when we put it on it didn't fit. I am by no means an expert carpenter, and I guess my 10...

    Collecting dust in the basement The tank was not drilled so after sticking my laptop in the tanks and looking at the white screen with my polarized sunglasses I figured it was an AGA. I drilled two one inch drain holes and one 3/4 inch return. I was scared to death to drill those holes but...
