JR! Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 cool cool. you like the kit? Link to comment
th64 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nice the new light is really making everything pop +1 on the ato kit.. I was just thinking of ordering it from them Link to comment
GioReef Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yes, the kit is great. Very easy to set up and has been working flawlessly since day one. Price wise it's an awesome deal because you get the peace of mind of that 2nd switch. Aquahub's customer service is top notch as well. Link to comment

Aquahub's customer service is top notch as well. i might do that but i had this one catch my eye. http://www.autotopoff.com/custom/ GRI Water Sensor Controller doesnt have a back-up but i think i can add one. i like that with that one i can have a super minimal switch in the display Link to comment
GioReef Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Looks like a good option. I was reading though and it says that prolonged periods in contact with seawater might not be the best... I dont know though Link to comment

I just started looking into ATO. I have a pump and a line run for the rain (no jk), just need a controller. Link to comment

In that event, the second switch would move up and stop the pump from overflowing the aquarium. Link to comment

ctoomey2013 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Do you have to have that other huge filter and LED to raise coral, or can you just run the light and filter it comes with and be fine? cuz none of my coral will open and it usually dies Link to comment

The stock light is only really ok for softies and the usual zoanthid morphs. Not to mention the very low flow of the stock filter Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I am deciding on which par bulb to get. Do you really love yours a lot? The boost is the one I think I'll get. Do you think I should get it? Link to comment

Jacob042426 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 You need more flow than just the stock filter! It's nothing. Get a rio50 power head for $10. Link to comment
