Hi all, i'm pretty newb when it comes to the equipment side of things so please forgive my lack of knowledge.
I would like to automate my 24 gallon sps tank as much as possible so I can go on trips and such without worrying.
I would like to:
Top off water
Dose 2 parts, twice a day (Randy's 2 part)
Dose 2 Trace elements (Tropic Marin K & A)
It seems to me the best equipment out there are currently the Tunze Osmolator and the Litermeter III.
Now my question is
1. If I purchase the Litermeter III, will this cover the auto top off portion so I don't have to get a Osmolator?
2. Do I need to purchase additional tubing and pumps to cover the above functions?
3. Are there any cheaper but just as reliable alternatives to the osmo or the litermeter? JBJ ATO? Nautilus II? Are there BETTER alternatives?
4. Whatelse can the litermeter and Osmolator do for me besides the functions I named above?
5. How does one incorporate a Aquacontroller Jr. with the above? I don't have one but am thinking of getting into a group buy for one. Are they worth it?
Thank you SO much for your help!
