Its been mentioned on the ATI thread that there will be a web based ATI control solution sometime soon. I think its some sort of retrofit addon. I think I am going to buy one as soon as its available if the price isnt too bad.
Nice job with cutting the old rocks. Did you treat the rocks in any way? |

Speed up documentary part since my initial cycle almost half way done.....
Tank tap water test dry reach overflow level water fall into sump... (this US made hydrovalve cost a lot, but I like it since it can adjust in a very small amount of water volume) water to refugium :em16::em16::em16: Taiwan special way for chiller... We put titanium tube in sump and air condition machine at porch (guarantee noise free) failure free double temputure probes to control air condition machine Holes for Tunze cable

I love 3D printing, but these are made by my friend. I definitely will buy one in 2015
Hope the detail won't let reefers feel boring, but I like to keep thing organized and documented.... Quote:

Love the chiller and love the little pin holes you put in the epoxy to make it look like live rock.
Keep the details coming, Shih, not boring at all.
