Are you planning to buy an ATO or make one? Making one is better IMO.

You only need like 7 things xD

I know there's a link to a step by step thing somewhere I just forgot where it is..

All you need is:

float switch(es)
12V wall transformer
12V/115VAC relay
wire
tubing
a reservoir
and a PH or the Aqua lifter


It's quite simple, when I get the parts I'll post it in my build thread.

Now let me ask you this. At the moment i am on live aquaria drooling over the corals. What kind of light do you think i need for certain corals. I like every coral but i seem to really be attrcated to the LPS, SPS, and polyps. And i like some of the soft coral. What kind of light do i need to support most of these? mostly the LPS and SPS.

Do anemones need special lighting or anything or any special care?

[jessicasmarine]

Anemones need strong lighting as do most coral. T5HO will get you by with some and others will need MH. Im not a fan of PC but Ive heard others have had much success with them.
