New office custom peninsula 185 gallon build thread

Ortho281 · Dec 6, 2016

I got my auto water change hooked up and running. I still have to find push connector adapters for the gravity feed electric solenoid I will be installing to prevent back syphoning. I have my DOS programmed to add 3750 ml (approx. 1 gal.) at 12 pm and remove 3750 ml at 2 pm. I have also programed my ATO to be off during this time so as not to trigger my high level alarm. I have already checked if adding 1 gallon will cause a rise in my skimmer level and it seems to be ok. If this is a problem, I will shut the skimmer down as well during that time. I though about placing my OSW hose upstream of the NSW hose and operating the pumps at the same time, but decided to go this route instead.

PS. I think that tile on the wall looks better now that you have all the equipment installed.

Thank you! I don't know if I deserve that? Lots of nice fish rooms setups on here! Mine might be the smallest and most packed however?

Thank you! I also have a separate hand held TDS meter at my office so I will check both my water supply and the TDS after the membrane. Both my home and office are in Cinco Ranch (same MUD) just outside of Houston. Yes, I believe we have chloramines because I received a letter from our MUD warning us of the change to chloramines in our water supply about 2 years ago.

Hi what's your office name again? I live in Cinco and currently driving to Memorial for my dentist visits.
