Joe's 75g never ending headache Build thread

Recently started dosing Calcium, along w/ my Alk and Vinegar. Tank has never looked better! Finally starting to get some growth again lol.

So I just found out it wasn't my float switches failing and causing my ato to keep running. I guess since my MJ pump doesn't pull enough watts (which I believe is less then 5w) u have to have it on one of the relay outlets.

I just switched outlets on my apex and i'll see if it fixes it. I was going crazy why I was receiving alarms and notifications from my apex cause my switches were being activated but the MJ pump just kept running. Now it all makes sense lol.

Had a similar issue with my RKL. My low watt dosing pump had to be plugged into the 1st outlet in order to work properly. Sorry to hear about your losses. Keeping sticks is a love-hate thing with me but they are the challenge that keeps me engaged in the hobby. I'd offer up some frags to get you going again but now isn't a good time for my sticks either...

Yea i figured that out before it became issue i had to do alot of googleing to set up rkl and just happened to come across that my brs dosers need to be on the relayed outlets or problems would arise.
 
Wish they would make that like highlighted in the manual or something. I was always wondering why there were relay'd outlets
 
My clam!



Might be wanting to trade/sell it for something. It's badass but with all the Blue in my LED I never get to see it orange. Here is a pic mai took under radions

Some new updates

Think I finally have my dosing down.

Currently at

7.6 dkh
410 Calcium
Mag 1260
Phos .06


Gonna try to keep my alk stable around 8 and Mag up to 1300

Picked up a new Chocolate tang from aaron, and a couple new chalice and sps frags.

If I had a real camera I'd show pictures lol
 
View attachment 1568]So kind of a major update.

Finally got around to hooking up my ato for my frag tank via my apex, finally plumbed my mixing station to where I can fill up my sump and Frag tank w/ sw or I can fill up my sump, frag tank, and ATO res. with fresh water. I also made my own Float sensor holder since JBJ sells only the Bracket and not the snail guard/float sensor holder. It was made from a piece of acrylic, cut, glued, and drilled to fit w/ the factory JBJ brackets. Hell I even made my own plastic nut lol

I also just got those red film thingys so I was playing around w/ my camera phone and took a few pictures lol.

Enjoy!

The red sheet thingys work pretty good. Almost shows true color.
 
Thanks Chris! Can't tell u how excited I am not to have to lift buckets to fill my ato anymore. When I get some more free time I have a electric solenoid I'm going to use to auto fill my auto top off straight from the rodi unit.

Might hard to understand my mixing station set up, but I literally don't have to carry a anything to do a water change, fill up the ato res or anything. It's all done by valves
 
Dude, AWESOME frag tank! I wish that I had the height in mine to try something like that; I'm jealous of all of the tiers!
