Thanks for the info., Great stuff guys. I changed the setup out today from a rodi 1/4" tube to a 3/8" tygon flexible tubing and the hammer effect is gone. I think the fact that it goes to a larger diameter, and the tube itself is flexible is what cured the issue. It was really obnoxious before...

get some heat packs and stick them to the buckets. They make ones with adhesive on them already.

got the spectrapure, and although it pumps fast, strong, the water hammer affect post pump is obnoxious. How have you guys dealt with the flapping around 1/4" tube.

Wow thanks for the replies guys. This is super helpful. I saw a couple stenner on ebay, but they are still pretty expensive $200+, and the history and what they pumped is unknown. Looks like a lot of them are used for pools, which means they pumped chemicals, which means I'd need to buy new...

I need a new ATO pump for water top offs (55g reef). I'm looking for something around 50ml/min. I have used the BRS 50ml/min peristaltic pump but now I am on my 4th one and they are made like crap. The gears strip. My main issue is that I need to pump up from the basement to my tank, and I...

Is there a way to make the RKL only activate my ATO at midnight? ATO is currently setup with the switch function but when I add a timer to it (12am, 1hr duration), it ignores it. What gives?! I have a special reason for wanting to do this.. I do water very often automatic water changes from my...

n2585722 - yes I am using myreef. The stuff I am doing is basic I think, and it didnt work through the head unit either. I actually cant get anything to turn ON when using standby mode! I tried this on my RKE and it worked as expected. There are some greyed out features in myreef because I'm...

BRS are solid. I have 1.1 and 50ml ATO. I've owned 8 of them, no issues. Get them on sale, otherwise kinda pricey.

I'm using a RKL to try and automate a water change. What I want to do is use the standby mode to initiate the change at will. I want to start it with a 5 minute run time (to empty my sump) and let a pump run, then when it goes off, I want the ATO to kick on (which was set to OFF when in standby...

Actually I do use a regulator of sorts (mostly closed garden hose faucet), so I guess I could just put that before the solenoid. This isnt going into my rodi line, it comes from my hot water line directly then through the coil.

Hey thats perfect! I could do a low temp alert and turn on a port on the RK and then just hook up a 24v power adapter. (Just noticed that its 24v AC, kind of weird!) Do you think it would be able to hold back 80-90psi for long periods of time? I have high home water pressure.

In my experience, most reefers are ridiculously cheap people. :) There is a difference between wanting a good deal and just being a cheap ***! Its a strange dichotomy; a wicked expensive hobby with the most frugal of people as its user base. Perhaps it does make sense! We're all poor from...

I also have a coil heating system as a backup in case the power goes out for long periods. I found that if I let just a bit of water through it keeps the tank at 78deg (90g tank). I connect rodi line to the metal coil but it's a manual process now. Is there some robust solenoid that will...
