Hi all I hope this is the right forum to ask this, if not mods please move.
In my current tank which is a 29 gallon Biocube with a 150w MH I have setup a JBJ ATO. I kind of threw this together since I didn’t realize how much water I would really evaporate with the metal halide light. So it is set up using a 5 gallon glass tank in the stand with the original Biocube return pump (about 306 gallons an hour) which I think is a bit overkill and the reason my salinity is low right now. (forgot to unplug while doing a water change) but that is besides the point. Basically I was wondering what pump should I get for use with this ATO? Also I would like to start dosing Kalkwasser. I see that some people just add the Kalk powder to their reservoir and dose it that way and some people buy a really expensive stirrer/reactor. Basically I am just looking to see it anyone can tell me a good way to set this up.
Thank you all for your time in reading this.
