agreed...compared to DIY unit, it cost just a few more $10-notes only(last count was only $20-30)..and save u all the trouble to buy the stuffs and DIY...i think delivery included also...

[roidan]

as long as you are willing to bear the postage cost to perth on top of what local reefers are paying for the tubby, i see no reason why cookiemunster will refuse to sell you a unit to ease your troubles

link up with him, send him a PM

135 bucks ??? ;\

[ciaolong]

i rather DIY at that price lol coz my tank is 2 foot if i had a 4 foot tank then i would buy it but na i rather make one >.<

soo any ideas ?

[roidan]

there are a few methods but may not be reliable. u can do a search in our forum database.

or u can hand over the keys to a reliable person and get him/her to top up water for you

[ciaolong]

lol

i think i stick with option 1 thank u

but if u see any new ones post them

[ciaolong]

yo i did a search in the forums i only got 2 one was a DIY tubby which i didnt under >.< *need pictures!!!!!!!!!!!* and the other gravity one was dodgy >.>

if anyone can help me under the DIY tubby or have another plan please share

[ervine]

No point trying to DIY the tubby.. I DIYed one... got electric shocked twice doing it.. not to mention the final costs amount to almost the same...

[ciaolong]

soo any other ideas ? the gravity could work but yeah alot of problems with it i am thinking something with a float switch or something

[ervine]

I tried the gravity siphon method before too... but I feel it's even more risky that the tubby in terms of the risk involved during it's course of operation...

You can try the gravity method with a float switch (non-electric) I've seen one been sold before... seems like the cheapest and probably most straight forward way to do it...

BUT.. u need to have ur reservoir of water above ur tank (or sump)

[ciaolong]

got and plan or pictures of it
