Water Changes Made Easy.
Depending how you manage and replenish your water elements whether it be using triton, balling or good old fashioned water changes all these tasks can be laborious, time consuming and messy.I run a calcium reactor to replenish the main 3, ca, kh and mg, however water changes are needed to remove nutrients and replenish trace elements. Previously I used a 2 bucket method for changing water, mixed fresh salt in one and used the other to remove the tank water. This resulted in a 10 litre water change which is less than 3% of my total volume. It was also messy, spilling salty water on my wood floor didn't go down well with the wife.
The resolution - I stumbled upon a product on various reefing forums. The company is called Reefloat and the product is the Automatic Water Changer.
It's a great bit of kit. I have the 32 litre version. Fill it with RO water add the salt and the internal pump mixes it. An hour or so later put the lid on put the 2 pipes into the tank and press the go button. It automatically changes the water and after the pre-programmed time it turns itself off. Water change done. No mess, no fuss just what I like.
