Incubus_doubled Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 So I been getting several water evaporation, and it's a pain getting that 5gl jug over the tank to add water. I decided to try one of those Auto Top Off system, there's so many out in the market ranging different prices. Today I'll be focusing on the JBJ ATO, now I gotten several mix reviews that it's an okay item. This comes with 2 floater sensors and several brackets to adjust the height of the floater sensors, as well as 2 suction cups. I like the feature that you can set this up 2 ways. The way I'll be setting up is with one floater sensor and as the pump i will be using the famous Tom Aquatics Aqualifter.. oooohhhh la la.. So I cut 2 pieces of 3 ft length on the flexible tubing, one to go into the Aqualifter and 1 ft length of the tubing that's going into the into the suction pre-filter. The remaining three feet goes from the suction pre-filter into the reservoir(in this case I'll be using a 5gl water jug) Next Step is too mount the JBJ ATO, I mounted it next to my wavemaker. The float sensor was placed with one bracket on the left chamber next to the protein skimmer. I adjusted the height by cutting a small piece of 1/2" tubing and placing it under the bracket sitting firmly on the rim of the aquarium. The output hose of the pump was run in between this 1/2" piece of tubing to hold it place and not to allow it to be in the water as this may cause a back flow siphon. After testing the system, the Aqualifter was mounted on a hook drilled to the wall at a level that would not affect the outcome of the water being pushed up. The 5gl jug had a cap with a hole in the middle that was perfect to insert the flexible hose in and still keep it cover from any dust or any other contaminated particles that may affect the water. I got an old test tube with a rubber cover that would slide perfectly in this hole. All I had to do was make a small insertion for the flexible tubing to slide in. It's been 2 days and so far the water level has been stable. Link to comment

Newguy33190 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I thought the professional series tank already comes with a decent media basket? Is the in tank better for any certain reasons? Link to comment
dmarkham Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Following along. I have the same tank and skimmer. The skimmer is great. I have a fuge and I think I am go back to the media basket. The stock pumps on my tank where upgraded to mj1200's. what is the temps on your tank? I keep the house around 72 but the tank is running around 80 to 81. I am looking at a chiller now. I like the idea of the conduct over the wires and the rotating heads on the returns it gives me ideas. You have a nice setup. Link to comment

Is the in tank better for any certain reasons? The intank basket fits better and it's not all over the place, not to mention the height and bigger chambers, i would totally recommend one and you can see the difference Following along.

Deleted User 4 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hmmm I think I should've let it heal for months ahead because the frag was kind of freshly cut.... Glad it's able to hang on there a little longer. Anyways, I'm done with corals. After I sold all my lps collection, I've been pretty relieved haha. Now, I'm just maintaining something much easier, anemones haha. Won't need to do water changes for centuries. Link to comment
Newguy33190 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Do you have a issue with the lights bleaching the corals or being to bright? Link to comment
Incubus_doubled Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Do you have a issue with the lights bleaching the corals or being to bright? it bleach, a monti, and a digitata i had to lower the monti and so far it healed and it's doing great... not so much for the digitata,,, i had to lower my light cycle since there's no way of dimming it (which would be nice) so i run the actinic for a longer period and the 10k for like up to 5-6 hours a day Hmmm I think I should've let it heal for months ahead because the frag was kind of freshly cut.... Glad it's able to hang on there a little longer. Anyways, I'm done with corals. After I sold all my lps collection, I've been pretty relieved haha.

Deleted User 4 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I love it!! I will get some more ai nano or sol blues later down the road for my next tanks. Never going back to kessils again haha. It's soo much better in comparisons. I would think Ecotech radions are in the same level. Link to comment
Newguy33190 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thinking this may be the tank I go with. Any recommendations on a skimmer? Link to comment
