my 40g breeder saltwater build

[cu0ngsayz]

Build a little thing on the side that flows with the stand to store the water jug for the ATO

[cu0ngsayz]

If you don't keep up your gonna run the sump dry.

[johnnytrinh]

ill just add a cup water everyday thats my only choice or get a smaller sump so theres more room for other stuff

[cu0ngsayz]

or build something to store the ATO. like how some people put chillers outside of the stand.

[johnnytrinh]

think it would help if i cover up the top of the sump as much as i can

[johnnymisty]

The heat from the pumps powerheads lights and such are part of what causes evap covering the Sump won't help much if you have an open top tank

I lose about 1L a day.

You need to get an ATO. If you got a sump you got room for the float switches.

Just leave a canister next to the stand to store the water.

Light timer and ATO are a must have on a reef tank. If not, you really going to hate reef keeping.

He's being a girl about building something to sore the container on the outside.

[johnnymisty]

Well the angle the tank in a corner and put it behind the stand and then its hidden no need to build anything else

[myjohnson]

I had a 3" wide canister on my last tank. Fit right next to my sump.

Do you literally have zero room?

[cu0ngsayz]

Yea his sump is a 30g sump. He can probably fit one of those skinny water containers if he can find one

[myjohnson]

That's exactly what I used.

I found it at Walmart.

[cu0ngsayz]

Oh. Well maybe he'll add it to make his life easier hahaha

[johnnytrinh]

how long do i have to wait for it to be safe to add the CUC

[johnnymisty]

Test your H2O if its not super high throw some in now
