TerraIncognita Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 8 hours ago, debbeach13 said: My refrigerator has water and ice in the door with a small replaceable pre filter I drink that. The water for the Evo is right from the tap. The 20L is store water 2 - 3 gallons every week, and every now and then a larger water change maybe 4 or 5 gallons and once a year 10 gallons plus top off. This is in my monthly budget, I live in a home my youngest son owns and if I was to spend $400 it would probably be on new lights. Even that is on hold because I think I will need a new washing machine soon. ? Well that works too :). I font have a Fridge with water dispenser, so got a water cooler with instant hot and cold, and an RODI Filter for that instead, and added a tap for my spout, but yeah with you're set up you're right it wouldn't make sense to get an RODI unless eventually you wanted to switch out your fridge filtration, in which case they do make ones that go to the fridge and sink. Beoch is a more politer term for the B-word lol. I still don't even want to type it out. But you know the one. 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Well this sucks! RFA moved to the filter intake after WC and disturbing every thing to catch a couple bristle worms. Diver Dan going to need a scrub next week. Also need to pinch out some hair algae. Knocked the Xenia off it’s rock. And FTS 6 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 During the night the RFA traveled to the other end of the tank. I feel better. I know that the pull probably isn’t strong enough to cause damage but you never know for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Good Morning Diver Dan here. I am starting to see the attraction to the sexy shrimp they are fun to watch. Always dancing. 3 Quote Link to comment
Wingy Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I wish I could send mine to you. I feel bad that she is an only because she is always on guard and has no one to play with, not bad enough to get more though. 1 Quote Link to comment

cheesesteak Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Man, that RFA really likes to stroll. 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Look where it is this morning. That little cup has a tiny toadstool in it. I image it is stung to death now. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 The RFA moved out of the cup and the little toadstool is still alive! 4 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Put the cup in my JBJ pico Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 The end of another month. All 3 sexies still doing well. FTS even though the mushrooms are not fluffy today. Maybe the RFA is really messing up the flow. Been in that spots for a few days now. Young William in back of the rock because I came up to the tank. Before I did he was hanging out front. 6 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Every morning there are a couple new white spots. I think asterina stars maybe eating coralline algae? Some of the spots look just like their shape. 3 Quote Link to comment

MarieH Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Read through it all. So nice. 💖 I am having fun with this little tank as well. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment

There are several one here that are much more impressive than mine for coral selection and growth. There is a fluval EVO 5 thread featuring these tanks. 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 So I got this a couple weeks ago but I do not want to remove the lid from my tank to install it. Not sure if I can make a cut out in the lid with a hack saw. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

I take it the lid is just slightly obtrusive to fit it? 1 Quote Link to comment
NoOneLikesADryTang Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Could you put it on the back chamber, where there's a notch for the wires to come out? 2 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 The RFA is moving again. I hope. The filter pump and Diver Dan have been shut off to add Marine snow and reef roids. Maybe I should leave them off a little longer? Sexie all together. Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Something like this might work clamped to the light, turned up so the bottle can mount to the new edge, it it's tall enough, and if the hoses will reach. Not sure how the hoses work from the package pic Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 The RFA is moving again. I hope. The filter pump and Diver Dan have been shut off to add Marine snow and reef roids. But I have to turn back on now. Sexie all together. Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 The light is pretty flimsy. I would not trust it to hold up a water bottle. 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 I could just slide the top over and let it hang off the other end. While I come up with a better solution or just continue to top off manually for now. 2 Quote Link to comment
