Right now I only run a canister filter with some carbon and a couple layers of floss for my 30g. What I want to do is upgrade my lighting and add an ATO system. All of this is for the purpose of adding more coral. I have settled on the MarsAqua 165w for lighting but haven't really picked out an ATO. I like the AutoAqua Smart Ato line of products. Also, I just saw that they are developing an Auto Water Changer that has ATO functionality. Has anyone else seen this product?

I use the Smart ATO and really like it. I use a 5g jug to store my AT water and the pump fits inside perfectly. I also use it to do water changes since my tank is upstairs and my RO/DI system is in the garage. I fill 2 5g jugs with new saltwater and use the ATO to refill the sump. Works great.

I've seen the promo for the water changer and also the the return pump safety switch. Both look interesting but I haven't seen them for sale yet

Hi I'm new to the forum, I used to be a member of a biorb forum but for some reason I can log in but can't retrieve my posts,I've got a 30l biorb which has been up and running for three years, had a few problems at first e.g a lot of fish deaths due to a none cycled tank. But recently I have lost 2 more cherry barbs to what looks like bloat, I've also noticed white poop which isn't normal so I've treated the orb for parasites, but the remainder 5 cherry barbs are starting to get sick I think, they are on the bottom a lot!!!!! Just wandering if anyone can give me some advice please.
Hi Deborah you might try starting your own thread about this. This is a saltwater forum but @Humblefish may be able to offer some advice

Just for the purpose of updating those people who showed interest when I first joined this forum, I wanted to make this post. I recently overhauled my tank. I removed the black gravel I started my tank with and replaced it with Caribsea's fine-grain live sand. I finally epoxied all the live rock together. I've added a Reef Octopus BH1000 skimmer. And lastly, I installed the MarsAqua 165w hanging over the tank. I'll try to post some pictures too.
