Do you have pics of the ATO? Are they posted and I didn't see them?

AQTCJAK · 09-11-2007, 12:41 AM

The ATo is in the sump I dont have a picture of that it consists of the Auto shut off switch from the RO/DI system & a float Valve in the sump

bluespotjawfish · 09-11-2007, 12:53 AM

Ok I think I saw that in the pics. Didn't know for sure.

insted of useing one return and one down pipe in the over flow.. use em both as (2 the sump) lines and make the return come back over the wall....

thanks

AQTCJAK · 09-11-2007, 12:37 PM

Just be sure your return pump can handle it otherwise you will flood rather quickly

BigAl07 · 09-11-2007, 12:42 PM

Jack I haven't mentioned it lately but I am thoroughly enjoying the build and I'm living "vicariously" through you two

Keep up the good work and make us proud

AQTCJAK · 09-11-2007, 12:56 PM

Thanks it is always fun to develope a new system

I have just a few more projects to add to it a evacuation fan for the sump room, an evaporative chiller just in case of a really hot day, finish the Automated water change, & a fan that will fit in the open between the sump room & the tank

AQTCJAK · 09-12-2007, 12:45 PM

TodayI am having an issue I have nothing new to report except my photographers are lagging. This weekend will be a test of the auto water change system. I am not quiet sure yet just exactly what the gallonage or the % of change per time will be until I see how much I can actuall remove from the sump. I am hope of 25 Gallons or 14.25% weekly for a monthly total of 64.125% or 112.5 Gallons of total volume monthly

BigAl07 · 09-12-2007, 01:06 PM

I can't wait to hear more about this. The "no wet" W/C is very intriguing to me.

Do we need to put some pressure on your "photography" department?

Hi Jack,

into my FO (255gal) I have a consumption for my ATO of approx. 60 litres in the week. those are approx. 15,8 gal the week or 2,25gal daily. The ambient temperature amounts to approx. 22°C and the area is permanently ventilated. Perhaps is a comparison helpful?

Dentoid · 09-12-2007, 04:17 PM

Jack, I noticed a BSJF in pictures set #19. How is it doing? If no longer with you, what happened?

AQTCJAK · 09-12-2007, 04:19 PM

Jumpers

Dentoid · 09-12-2007, 04:21 PM

Ah, I hear that. I lost 2 Midas blennies within 4 weeks. I also suspect that my BSJF did the same, but I never found the body!

AQTCJAK · 09-12-2007, 07:51 PM

We found the body on the ledge behind the tank rather crispy
