I'd been wanting to give this a shot for a bit but finally decided to get it done after installing a Biopellet reactor a couple days ago.

Designed and 3d printed my own lid for the Reef Octopus 110
Excuse my messy stand I gotta do some cleaning for sure.

Ran the line to a cheap plastic container from Dollar General. 3d printed the bulkheads also! Pretty impressed with how those turned out honestly.

Did crack the plastic though, doh!

Here are the results from overnight last night. You can see how my ph average starts to go down after adding the biopellets. Then the big spike on an alk dose. Then after Amazon brought my Soda Lime yesterday it flat lines and starts going up. Was very happy to see these results when I woke up. I'll update later with results for the daytime peak.

Safe to say it works!
Got up to 8.22 at peak yesterday and looks like it bottomed out at 8.15 starting at 2am. I anticipate the peak will be higher today.

The real test will have to be to see how high it gets when nobody is home all day.
Gotta love vacation :cool:
