o2manyfish - Major Dosing Upgrades

[o2manyfish]

Hey Guys,

Well, after 15 years of putting all my equipment outside I finally have to bring some equipment back into the house. Behind the filter wall I have a storage room. So popped a few holes in the wall and put the new Calcium Reactor and Dosing / Feeding Fridge inside.

They are sitting on a Bathtub Drain pan. I will be adding a leak detector in the bathtub drain to let me know about oopsies.

Years ago I was invited to see Art Carvahlo's install and I fell in love with his sexy Dastaco Calcium Rx. The Dastaco was just pure sexyiness. But its also got that fragile look to it. And that sexy missing tube off the side is just dying for me to break it off if it was sitting outside with my other equipment.

So now with the protection of equipment inside I got the sexy Dastaco EXT9.

Here is everything up and running. For a ridiculously overpriced sexy reactor they stick a crappy looking label on the monster chamber. I just couldn't stand it, so I upped the ante (just a lil).

As you can see I have to go spend a fortune on more media. Will update when my back is strong enough to haul that crap home.

:dance::dance: I NEED ONE! lol..

I've been wanting to dose reef nutrition food. ROE and stuff. the APEX DOS looks great for that.

 

[o2manyfish]

The Apex DOS is too small a tubing it pulverizes the food -- I've got some large bore dosing pumps that allow my to pump full size mysis and brine

This was version 1. As soon as I get everything worked out I will be offering this one up for sale and building myself version 2 using a glass door fridge... Cause I wanna be a BALLER!

Thanks for sharing pics and your experience so far with both the DaStaCo and fridge-dosing. I don't spend much time in the SoCal forum, but man, I guess I should...

Lol I'm down for this. I have a spare mini fridge next to the tank anyways

 

[o2manyfish]

You guys don't have to reverse engineer anything... Just ask...I am happy to share the knowledge from all the mistakes I have made.

I have no desire to make any money from this hobby, try to find a hobbyist that has given me money for a piece of coral from one of my tanks in the past 10+ years.
