Just in time for the holidays I set up my Auto Top Off (ATO) system to compensate for water evaporation, especially during periods of travel. Unlike the last tank where I was using a 5 gallon reservoir, I am now utilizing my 20 gallon reservoir! This bad boy can keep the tank level for a little over two weeks, if I really needed it to. I am also dosing it will Calcium Hydroxide (1/2 teaspoon per gallon) to keep the PH and Calcium levels in the tank up to par. This will aid in healthy coral growth later, as well as reducing any toxic levels of Phosphates that may arise.
