Clown79 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I recently made a gravity ato. Easy! Water bottle Hose Plastic cube to hold the bottle. Works great for a few days then needs filling. Link to comment
BlindZide Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Thanks good! I want a nanobox retrofit LED kit but it's like $365, so maybe in a year or so if I'm still super committed to this hobby and I've done some more research, I'll take the plunge. For now, I'll just keep what I can under stock lighting. I just ordered my retrofit from nanoboxreef.com for my Biocube 14 and it was only $270 shipped. It will keep temps down and if I am not mistaken would also help with less evaporation. Link to comment

I don't have temperature issues and I don't have too terribly much evaporation either. But, when I upgrade my lights, that's still my go-to plan for now. Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I do it by hand. I use a pitcher and do it about once a week. Hammer - you should top off daily honestly. Topping off only once a week most likely causes salinity swings and might stress your corals/inverts/fish. Link to comment
Astinus Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I top off my back chambers about every other day...depending on my evaporation. Sometimes I top off the next day. I am "Top Less" (Wish more "Women" Would do this ) lol So, yeah...I Top off frequently. About 3-4 gal in 2 weeks? Guessing. Link to comment
xAyanex Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If you go topless evaporation may become an issue. I am aware of that. I never plan to go topless. I plan to get a retrofit. Link to comment
squamptonbc Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 After this heat wave and near constant use of air conditioning, I am growing tempted to buy an auto top off, but I've got so much crammed into the back of the M40, not sure I can fit anything else back there.......lol.... Link to comment

I have noticed that when I top off everything blooms open and the fish start investigating so they are happier. I'll take all the advice I can get!! Link to comment
