Due to trades I have a truck and a motorcycle which I both love and this tank trade as of an hour ago I have made about $450 in selling all the extra gear I got out of it. Probably going to spend close to $80 on shipping then spent another 75 on 2 more V3 arrays to add, and now just dropped $130 on the BRS order but HEY I never had a BRS 5 Stage Rodi and now I do! Gonna drop another $50 today on a flame angel and some ATO supplies and hopefully try to pocket the rest hahahah Link to comment

Cencalfishguy56 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 You think a flame angel and Mandrian goby would be too much? i don't personally think it's too much but I'm sure plenty of people would say otherwise lol Link to comment
Matteo Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Alright alright! Busy day today but a good one! Got the ATO reservoir camouflaged, new Flame Angel, and a couple of pics as an update! Tank is still a little cloudy and some corals are still pissed off but this has only been setup of for 3 days so it is all expected. So here is the before picture of the ATO itty bitty 3 gallon bucket Here is what I bought $6 a piece shelving Here is the bucket I will use, it is 10 gallons full. little bit of this little bit of that Seriously like only 20 minutes later from first picture, bam!

HarryPotter Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 One thing, looks difficult to see when the ATO reservoir is empty! Woud be pretty easy to add an indicator LED perhaps to turn on when a float switch closes (ATO empty) Link to comment
pgrVII Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hmm. Looks like you may have sold me on upgrading my rodi unit Link to comment

Woud be pretty easy to add an indicator LED perhaps to turn on when a float switch closes (ATO empty) Definitely a good idea! However the back of the bucket sticks out like 2 inches all I have to do is simply look over and I can see the water level:) I may do that anyway because it would be cool though! Link to comment
Matteo Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hmm. Looks like you may have sold me on upgrading my rodi unit Rodi unit or reservoir? Link to comment
pgrVII Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Rodi unit or reservoir?Unit. My reservoir is a 2 5 gallon bucketa. One holds made rodi,one holds made saltwater and then one under my desk for my ato. So 3 I guess lol. And one upstairs for the chameleons misting system so 4 Link to comment

Matteo Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Had some fun today with a little DIY action! Before: 2 more V3 arrays from thatguytom! Got then hit off pretty easy got all 4 glued and clamped making a mess 3 new fans time to start soldering everything together, I forgot the white channels are higher on voltage so the center 2 arrays White channel is being ran off a 1000LDD while the other 2 are on a 700LDD. All other channels are still ran on a single 700 as voltage limit has not been exceeded. made a mess tah dah! FTS: purple + and coral + come in tomorrow also! Link to comment
