Auto Water changes
Re: Auto Water changes
I set up my new semi-automated water change system last night. In less than 10 minutes (without getting wet) I did a 30% water change. Yipee!

Sweet! I hope you can still get that C02 tank out for refills.

It is NP to move the lines to get the CO2 tank out. I did another quickie water change last night just for kicks (I know, I get cheap thrills).150EH wrote:Sweet! I hope you can still get that C02 tank out for refills.

Re: Auto Water changes
I've been getting ready to drill through the wall and Boom, I have had a massive algae attack, blue green/cyanobacteria, BBA, and some other thread types all at once. So now I'm thinking I need to put my UV sterilizer back in the line, I've gone without it for years but this outbreak has me questioning my choices.

Re: Auto Water changes
Since I've had my sterilizer in I haven't had any ick outbreaks or out-of-control algae problems (knock on wood). Good luck getting your alage under control.150EH wrote:I've been getting ready to drill through the wall and Boom, I have had a massive algae attack, blue green/cyanobacteria, BBA, and some other thread types all at once.

I looked last night, the bulb is $36 and the transformer is $62, but I'll have to work it in.
