One never tires of watching your community of asians and south americans!!

How does your constant water change system work?:) :)
 
I have a Kent marine RO/DI that constantly fills the tank. In the sump I have a float and timer system that pumps out the rising sump level to the sewer. I have installed high/low level, and power failure shut downs to prevent spilling and/or pump damage. I dose the tank with black water drip system or keep ketapang leaves in the sump, and dose salt with pond auto feeder( API salt / Epsom salt 50/50 ) to add some trace elements. This system has freed up about 4-5 hours a week:Dheadbang2:D, and the water is near perfect. I wish I built it a long time ago.

Photos plz... I would like to purchase an RO/DI system in the future and the way you explained your set up is what I would love to have.
 
How do your rays do with your substrate? Can they still burrow?

I really like it though, That driftwood is pretty huge! If there was a way, I would steal your tank!

Thats just awesome.....how much did the set up cost you?
 
Yes Boydo... we guys want to replicate your - so very well prooven - sustem..more details, please?? For arofanatics such as you...:)
 
Thanks for the comments, I'm a little short on time at the moment, but I will gladly explain the system with a few pics in a couple days. The RO/DI I 'm using is a little on the extreme side costing $279.99 from marine depot, and the whole system was about $500. I'll post the details soon, anything to help out other monster keepers!

Take care,
