Hi guys, I currently have a 120g(175g with the sump) mix hap set up. And I am working toward full automation. (I am not using apex on this specific project because it is not cost-effective on freshwater setup)
At the moment, I have wifi power plugs and power strips to control all of my device( also monitor power consumption)
With wifi controlled light, temperature controller and crossflow wavemaker
As for filtration, I run a 1100gph return pump, and one chamber fills with seachem matrix and lava rock, and two chambers growing pothos.
For water change, I currently have an auto aqua awc that replaces 3g every 12 hours. Draws water from a 55g water reservoir.
The above equipment takes care of the tank, no vacuuming or water change needed. All I need is to replace filter socks
I have been monitoring this tank for 3months now, and the water parameters are doing fantastic. Nitrate stays around 20 ppm, with 32 inhabitants( all over 5", some around 8"). Two feedings per day, 15g per feeding.
Just one last thing..... I have to replace filter socks every 2-3 days. Which is driving me crazy. I tried filter floss for a while, but it does not give me the same results and sometimes left residues in the sump.
Here's where the filter roller comes in for this project.
Have anyone of you used a filter roller before? And have any of you applied on a freshwater African cichlids tank?
Please let me know, any recommendations/ advice are appreciated thanks
