Awesome DCA!

Stay inside where it is warm.

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Thanks Dan! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

I get a ton of reef stuff done when its cold outside! ;-) I can only imagine your tank dicipline living in your great climate! ;-)

Reef on buddy!!!

Is that going to be some form of feeder?

 

[dca22anderson]

Good guess buddy...it could be used for feeding but that's not why I built it... :hmm2:

Think flow rates... :thumbsup:

 

[dca22anderson]

I bought a new Super Feeder to hook up to the Apex that I am fabricating a bracket for as we speak...:dance:

Ta Da! A clear return box to visually check flow rates coming from the reactors

And don't worry the mounting screw has a protective coating of silicon to shield it from any spray...

Wow great aquariuma and amazing collection of fish too. I could only dream...

 

[dca22anderson]

Eddie V - thanks for your kind words! I will add a few more fish but not too many more... ;-)

Now I can feed my fish controlled by my apex/phone and watch them eat on the webcam when I travel!!!

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

So you use that to measure the GPH coming out of each feed to the reactors?

 

[dca22anderson]

Newbie Aquarist - Yes, it's a quick easy way to visually check flow rates returning from the reactors. If they get blocked up or lose pressure I can notice right away and make the adjustment.

You'll love the Super Feeder! I have been debating about getting a second one.

I have mine set for noon everyday, dropping in a little bit of Dainichi and various sized pellets. I have been thinking about modifying a second one to dose a little dried cyclop-eeze.

I had an extra four hours to use and thought I would read your thread. You Rock my man!
You have all your bases covered and I need to come over and see it.
We need to get together one day, Me, you, the fu, and studly, lol and go on a little mini reef tour.
Your build thread is beautiful! When do you find time to earn your cash? You must tell me your secret. LOL
