    Thank you sir.. :) Yeah, so far so good.. We'll see in a couple of months what it looks like. It tends to have a mind of it's own..

    Well, I placed an order with Pet Mountain this weekend & bought 2 Koralia EVO 1400 powerheads at a price I couldn't pass up.

    Well since we started our fireplace, our water evaporation went from a gal per day to almost 3 gal per day.

    So I finally made time to build my DIY ATO System. Here's a snapshot off it, but I did take pictures of the building process. Hmmm maybe I'll add another DIY thread.

    Looks good the Evo's should be nice I got two for my 90 and can't wait to get them started. Do you have your RODI hooked up directly or are you using a reservoir?

    I have it connected directly to my RODI system. My system has a 3 gal pressured storage tank. I did this for two reasons. One it's easier. Two as a safety precaution, if a float switch goes bad, the most my system will dump is 3 gal into my sump. My complete system can handle that.

    But wont your RODI still fill the resevior and the tank in turn what is stopping the RODI after the tank has been emptied into the system?
