Tony Aka ReefPlanet's shallow reef tank!

[OCReefMadness]

I love the high of my stand (42" high)...I can remove in/out my huge Bubble King Skimmer easily.

Sold the big boy, now I have this small girl 250 in my sump.

 

[OCReefMadness]

Take a look the skimmer is working hard.

 

[Nanoreefbro]

Tony where did you get a Alpha 250 from? I've been checking everywhere online and no one has any in stock. I was looking for either a 200 or 250

 

[OCReefMadness]

Beautiful tank Tony. Everything looks easier to get to. Shallow for corals and high stand for sump access, nice.

Thanks Steve for the kind word.
I love the 42" high stand I can take in and out the skimmer easier since my sump is 20" high.

Nice job Tony. That tank is looking like the future tank of the month here on SCR.

 

[OCReefMadness]

Jason, Thank you sir. I will swing by your store some day to check out your nice corals there.

Using Auto top off system for my tank without reservoir!

I have been used this Auto Top Off for couple years until now that I bought from www.autotopoff.com

I use two Solenoid Valves to control two float valves (for safety if one fail another one backs up).
The solenoid is an electronic valve capable of handling the higher pressure of reverse osmosis (RO) or city water system. The valve opens when powered, and remains closed when not energized.

Two Float Valves.
The controller powers a device when the lower float switch senses that your tank water level is low. The device will be turned off when the lower float switch senses your water level is high. The top switch is a backup in case the bottom switch fails.

Water will release to my sump when the lower switch senses water level is low.

 

[Nanoreefbro]

That's a great auto top off. I bought one about a year ago and I really like it.

 

[OCReefMadness]

I hook it up straight to my RO/DI.

 

[SchnitzelReef]

I have the same one, and I love it.

Hey Tony do u have the solenoid hooked up to a timer? I've got mine hooked up to my apex, and it turns in every morning for 30 minutes.

he has no timer its hooked up to the solenoid. when water level is low it open it when high close. no need no apex or controller just plug into the wall. not everything goes to the apex. you will cry when the day your apex takes a dump.
