So I'm Building Stuff Again. 150g Plus Fish Room. (3 Viewers)

[Luman01]

I think I'm going to finally consolidate tanks tomorrow. I'm tired of maintaining four systems.

If you need any help tomorrow let me know, my dad and I will go up there and help! And will give me a reason to pick up a milli lol

 

[Luman01]

And maintaining 4 is a lot. Shoot I could barely keep up with 2 glad I only have one!

I don't really need the help, but y'all are welcome to come hang out. I've never done a water change on the new main system yet so I might do a big one then migrate everything over. Automatic water changes will be set up very soon though. Can't decide where to house the pump. The original idea was in the attic, but I'm not sure if I want to do that anymore. I want it more accessible.

Ooo Ima send that vid to my dad! Cause at rc the Neptune rep Vincent, I told him “ im going to introduce you to my dad, I need you to convince him the apex is worth it, and we need one!” Let me tell you he did his job! And now we have an apex el. Later on we are gonna run a 20ft aqua bus cable to Connect my tank to his apex.

I love those valves, so easy to turn but if you use them w/salt water you would need to pull the internal screws and replace with titanium. Also a cool thing with those valves is putting electric actuators on them.


edit:
oh wait I see he is using sprinkler valves. Yeah I don't think that would work for us, springs and such... But the automation is cool.

You could use the pool valves like I said earlier (replace steel screws with titanium) and the electric actuators and do something similar.

That copper setup will keep Ich at bay!

 

[steveb]

yeah and the copper pipes are problematic.

I put her to work in the attic this evening. Ceiling drilled, tubes ran, AWC is live.

 

[RR-MAN]

That's a monster - how many gallons a day water change?

Nice, I have AWC envy.

I'm not quite sure. My calculations put that system at 250ish gallons but I needed enough salt to make 300 when I filled it. I want to do 2% per day starting so that puts me in the 5-6 gallons per day range. I'll probably do 6 just to error on the safe side.

I know a guy that has a brand new one, never seen water if you're interested. They sell for $350 new. I think he wants $300.

So you are running this through the attic? Does any part run across living space? I'm wanting to do something similar but my water source for mixing would require a fair bit of thru-attic piping. 25 feet or so. Then go to my holding tank and then all my AWC plumbing would just be exposed in the fish room.

Long story short, yes, a lot of the tubing is in the attic. I'll probably make a video later to walk y'all through how I'm doing it

Keep some buckets handy for when it leaks through your ceiling... just sayin
