Vladec Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hello My name is Vlad. I live in Kharkov, Ukraine Let me represent you my marine aquarium (MA) and explain it’s maintenance. My Marine Aquarium (MA) starting from 27.01.2011 My MA system contents: Heater 2 pcs 100w Pump flow Boyu WM- 2 + SunSun JVP-101 Light 150W mg + 7pcs. blue LEDs cre + 2 pcs. T5 24W actinic My MA Maintanance: Once per day – manually adding water (you could combine it with feeding for time saving). I haven’t seen good auto water top up device yet. Topping up my MA with tap water (settled for one day). The idea of "topping up method" instead of “replacement” is that the drinking water from the tap (if tap water is not suitable then you can use spring water) you add everything what’s needed in your MA. The experiment lasts from of November 2012 2 Quote Link to comment
