SoFit Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Dude, that water bottle ATO is genius! Super ghetto, but genius! Do more people know about this? It's new to me... It's been around but I been doing this for a long time now on previous tanks. It sure is cheaper than a ato unit Link to comment
treygarz Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If rust may be an issue, PetSmart sells a dog water bottle that has a plastic nozzle! I think it runs about $5 or so. I have it running on my tank. I've seen other people doing the hamster water bottles and was concerned with it eventually rusting. I have a pic of it in the first post on my thread ( http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=290518 ) if anyone would care to see it. Link to comment

I don't think my ato bottle Should Rust since its For hamsters but I do like your bottle looks good! If anything I could use a plastic tube at the end of the bottle tip so it could touch the water instead of the steel Link to comment

I am using the same one on my pico and I have been pretty happy with it. Have you played with the dimming on the bulb? I have been wanting to find a way to use the dim function. awesome rock. i did, but i dont think we need to DIM these for our pico since we need as much light as possible.. sadly i dont know of a way to dim these bulbs when i start it on in the morning and when its about to turn off.. thanks for the compliment.. i actually broke up the zoa's and separated them around the tank .. so far so good i will be posting more pics soon. im looking into some rare zoa's at the moment and might pick up soon as well.. might wait a week or 2.. so my tank wont be bombarded with so much stuff at once..

jgpico Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yeah I like the intensity of the bulb I would just like to be able to have a way to dim in and out when the lights turn on and off. I have a couple rare zoas that will be going into the tank here soon as well. you should google golden empire zoas. The lfs I work at is the only place that has them available right now. They are pretty cool, very metallic. Link to comment

I dont think we have decided on a price yet but probably too much lol I'm going to wait until all the crazt zoa collectors get them and hopefully the price will go down. I'll let you know how much they are and see if youre interested. Link to comment
