    Cheap Quicky ATO

    Cheap, yes - but I thought having a float switch directly actuate a 120v circuit is pretty dangerous for the following reasons: 1) If your float switch leads somehow get exposed to your tank water, then your putting 120v into your tank. 2) A surge on the 120v circuit can fuse/weld your float...

    what salt mix do you use??

    Vivid in Canoga Park

    I'm surprised nobody else has chimed in on this. There are not many decent LFS on the West Side or even in SFV, but Vivid stands out. I stop by there almost once a month. Dedicated to SW, brightly lit, which is nice to see. Not a terribly big fish selection, but the fish always look healthy...
