In the end of the Video the dosing pump was gone. Did you bring the pump up under knee your tank to prevent the gravity siphon in case the tube slip off or something other happens?

No it’s still there but I have a fail safe that would detect the dosing pump not sealing and stop the gravity siphon

What was your reason for the 2x4s running under the saltwater container?

Extra structural support. The weight of the salt water tank transfers to the bottom and sides, and acts to Stabilize the whole structure

I know its off topic but these radion gen 5 are a pain to calibrate so all the colour channels go on and off at the same time and each light is in sync with others during its light cycle unless im doing it wrong ?? Any tips would be appreciated

not my experience at tall. Are you doing the calibration at night when there is no light. i typically do this after all the lights are off, and i also avoid looking directly at the light... use the surface reflection to view the changes. Also, its not going to be a big deal if there is subtle changes in the calibration of the different channels

@@TheBioReef thanks for the reply so when your calibrating the lights you want to see no light ? Same amount of light ?? Its hard to calibrate them lol

@@bopeep7806 hi Peter the way calibration works on the radions is that light is set to off, and then you gradually add power, then you click as soon as you see the led light up. So best done in absolute darkness

If your rodi is on all the time and is only stopped by the float valve aren't you getting crazy tds creep? When starting a rodi it spits out high tds water at first doesn't it?

Hi Rick. I does for sure but relying on the float is a temporary solution until I rig the system with a solenoid and optical sensors that would only re fill the brute with Ro water after it reaches a certain level

@@TheBioReef sounds good. Also maybe look into an auto flush for the rodi. It supposed to help too.

Do you have an alarm that tells you that the salt water is running low?

Hi Garry - that is a good idea and one that i may eventually add with a sensor in the saltwater container. For now, i can still catch this problem with my automatic salt water setup - if you haven't already seen this video - give it a look - but briefly, if the salt water container runs out, the tank will loose a little bit of water (water is removed but not added), and i have a low level sensor in the sump that will catch this and automatically disable the automatic water changes. Because your are adding a known number of liters every day, and you know what the volume of the container is, it is actually pretty easy to figure out how often you need to mix a new batch of saltwater, so i put that in my calendar as well. thanks for watching!
