Default Re: Will my rock die???

I really got to get pics up of mine. ...hmmm.

My set up is simple....My hubby mounted the RO/DI unit on the back of my tank stand, and I have it going to a Kent Marine Float Valve in my sump for auto top off.

Here is the float valve setup, to the left you can see the black float valve and behind it , the clear water tube coming in

Float valve, and kits.....http://www.marinedepot.com/md_searchitem.asp


I also have the Kent Marine Dosing IV set up...hanging on the back of my tank with one of those 'over the door' hanger hooks made of plastic. The IV hose goes down to the sump. I fill it every night and let it drip in . The auto top off takes care of any difference.

Dosing tank....

Links just so you can see how reasonably priced you can set up for. Of course, there are more technology oriented ways...this is just what I did.

For the Kalk, I use RO/DI water mixed with 'Two Little Fishies' brand of Kalkwasser (it is calcium hydroxide, and I am sure most brands are the same). Mix, shake, let settle overnight, then use the clear part of the mix and toss out the settled part.
