So I picked up a DOS unit about a week ago and I finally got it set up to do Automatic water changes.
I have the DOS setup to add 3028.3 ml from a 23 gallon brute container and and remove 3028.3 ml from my sump into a drain in the laundry room between Midnight and 8am. This should be 24 gallons which is 20% of my tanks volume a month.
So I'm going to do a test to see if this will allow me to not have to dos CA, Alk and Mag.
As far as removing waste from the tank, I have my tank setup so I can filter out the water with a python back into a filter sock that's in my sump.
Every Sunday I'll post my parameters.
Today I did a 25 gallon water change so that it's like the start of a new month with the DOS system, changed out Carbon, GFO, removed extra cheato.
Salt mix: Aquavitro Salinity
Week 1 Parameters 9-3-17
Week 2 Parameters 9-10-17
Week 3 Parameters 9-17-17
Week 4 Parameters 9-24-17
