reefkeeper lite basic (ATO)

MattN · Apr 28, 2013

I was wondering if anyone has used the reefkeeper lite basic....and if they have what do i need to use the ATO function. I know i need the float switches but didnt know if i needed anything esle like an actual ATO system. If anyone could help that would be great....was also thinking about joining the MTRC...was wondering if anyone could tell me what you all do and things like that...i live about an hour and a half from nashville...

You would need to connect the float switches into your SL1 switch port and program one of the outlets to be controlled by the switch and plug your water pump into that outlet.

As far as the club is concerned we meet once a month, generally at another members house and hang out and talk reef related topics and usually have raffle prizes. You also get a discount at the LFS. And last weekend was our annual frag swap.

Yeah, just show up. Usually the date and times are announced here in the stickies area. Or you can check out MTRC.org and follow the instructions on becoming a member.
