I have never had an aquarium before and I am starting a Reef Tank. I am going to document the process the best I can to show what works, what doesn't, and what I learn along the way.
I'm starting with a BioCube 32 from Coralife. It is a kit from Marine and Reef which comes with a lot of the accessories I wanted. This series will be broken down into episodes to make it more user friendly depending on what you want to learn.
In this episode I am going to install the saltwater mixing station using two garbage cans and PVC piping.

Float Valve - Bulk Reef Supply

Thanks for the great vid. I hope your BioCube 32 adventure is going well. We started two of the same a couple years ago and love them. We're about to build a similar mixing station with the help of your guide. Have you had any trouble with your choice of color Brute containers not being NFC food safe rated like the grey ones? I've heard and read that you should only use the grey or black because of that rating.

Thanks. I read about the gray containers after I ordered mine but the website states they are food safe. Not sure if that's correct. I have not noticed anything from using the yellow and white. The water parameters all check out normal and they have been used for about 4 months now.

How is the pump working out, would you have gone bigger if you could do it again?

Can you tell me what the seals are called at 1:25 in the video? I am having trouble finding them.

They are uniseals. Mine were 3/4”. They work great.

Hey, I know this video was 4 years ago but I was wondering if you had any trouble with the brute cans.

@DollarDIY Жыл бұрын

No. They work great. Still using them.

Jumping on the late trend but are the ball valves for viewing pleasure compared to a cheaper 6 pack from Home Depot. Or is there is reason for the fancy valves ?
