Thanks =) Ocean is my favorite fish! He's so spoiled.
This is my first time owning a ferret and she's pretty small. I don't think she was of legal age when sold to me... but she's doing good!

Introducing Paradox! My new Platinum White Mosaic male!
Okay, I just had to post a few photos of him! I just got him tonight. I had to goto the airport and pick him up. His flight was supposed to come in at 5pm but was delayed due to weather and didn't arrive until 10:30pm. It was almost midnight by the time we got home!
He's so worth it though! For those of you who followed my nano and 54 threads, this is the glider that I sold them for to help pay for the cost of him.
I heart Paradox =)
Whats that a rat?

Someone should have recommend the litermeter III or a refurbished peristalic/medical pump from innovativeaquatics for top off purpose. They are much more reliable than the osmolator, but it is supposedly still a good unit.

Also, if you are still having nitrate problems maybe you would be interested in dosing a carbon source like sugar to your tank. Just say the word if it becomes too much of an issue and we can lead you down the right path.
Good thread....all 5 million posts..I am guilty of skipping to the pics.

I don't know about "much more" reliable. The osmolator is as reliable as any device can be that senses liquid level. A peristaltic pump has an added margin of safety in that it's limited in how much it can pump into the tank in a given amount of time - this may limit failures to some extent especially if you have it on a timer but you lose the ability to automatically adjust for changes in evaporation and will still require small additions of top off water or stopping the pump for a day or two every now and then to compensate. Refurbished medical dosing pumps have their own failure stories though I admit the Litermeter has a really good reputation. If I was going to go with this method, I'd go with the Litermeter too. For me, since I have to leave the tank alone for extended periods of time, having the automatic adjustment was more important.
NG - did you ever figure out the tubing placement? Let us know!

Not yet, I haven't done too much with it. I think I am going to do it to the overflow that way I can have the 5g bucket filled to the top so I don't have to add water as often.
That will also be nice if we go away for a few days not to have to worry about it running dry.
I'll update once I do, maybe tonight

ThanksI am happy with the Tunze, I just don't like their instructions. For someone that has no idea about how this kind of stuff works, i thought they weren't the best. Now that I understand how it works, i'm happy.
I had the same issue. I even posted in the Tunze forum because of those stupid instructions. pics were horrible. I even went online to get the manual so I could blow up the pics - they still sucked.
I love it now that it is set up properly, but man, what a pain!!!
