Installing the Kamoer X2SR Auto Water Change System

[@joshua_w]

Really like following Swell reef. That is great water change set up. Had no idea that such a run was possible.

[@ParkersReef]

great vid!

Thanks Sam! Cam

Hi Ken. There is a lot more on the market since I had a Reef Aquarium untill the later part of 2011. Yet it is good to know, in case the possibility for me to have another Reef Aquarium arises. Like 34 is now up to say thankyou very much for sharing. 👍🏼🙂👍🏼❤️

[@bobw6549]

Wow this is a really cool system! Thank you for showing. I'm definitely going to set something like this up in the future

[@My525XLRedSeaReefer]

I use the Kamoer X2SR unit as well.. it is a beast and works really well!

[@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army]

Absolutley awsome...love kamoer pumps there the best...what an awsome system so maintenance friendly and epic stability.💙🐠🦈🐟🦀🐡🐙

Merci pour cette vidéo 🙏🙏🙏

[@andibandi1190]

does this also work in Germany, where temperatures outsise are below 0* C, where water feezes?

[@queencityreefs]

Very cool 👌🏻 🙌🏼✌🏻

[@benhuan5575]

Hey Cam, wouldn’t the ato kick off every time the water change system takes water out? I would image it will take some time for it to fill back up with fresh salt water meaning the ato would be dripping freshwater while it takes time to drain and fill?

[@petersmith3037]

hi you say you use John Guest pipe I believe 3/8 what is the fitting from the green pipe to the semi rigid John Guest pipe please

[@reeferjay9431]

Good video, what were the JG fittings you used, I know you used the 3/8 RO fitting but what did you use to connect it to the green pipe?

[@jaywoos4504]

Great setup, looking to get back into the hobby myself but based in Sydney :( . With 2000L of salt water sitting in the tanks at 5L per day the salt water in the bottom of the 2nd tank wouldn't be used in over a year. Is there no decay in the quality of the saltwater over that period ? Apologies if a dumb question but had read via "Dr Google" that the salt water will only store up to a month but i love the idea of only mixing for water changes once a year :)

[@Dhusuf]

Some question here, could you help?

[@chrispelletier3661]

Hello. I love your videos! I am got to go with the Kimora system. I also want to do the auto top of like you have. What pumps do you use for the auto top off system that runs from your shed to the tank??? Thank you Chris Pelletier

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

This tank has a Reef Factory doser (large) that moves RO water from the shed storage into the reservoir in the back of the aquarium. From there it flows into the sump as it evaporates (using a float valve that comes with the aquarium). Cam

[@chrispelletier3661]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV thanks. I’ll look into the reef factory doser.

[@TonysCorals]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV When the water change is taking out water wont that trigger the ATO to fill the sump with RO water?

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

It's incredible that that pump can pump water from such a distance and heights! I am wondering whether the aim of the water changes is to not need any two part system?? I guess the water change isn't able to keep up with the needs of the tank for alkalinity and calcium.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

We still dose this tank as the SPS assimilate calcium and KH too quickly. If the tank was soft coral heavy the waterchanging may be sufficient without dosing. Cam

[@UltFrizz]

Seriously, why didn't you run the piping in the roof cavity like all houses do with there water piping?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

There was a concrete wall too thick to drill through. It was our first option but too much harder than running around the house. Cam

[@dilshanudayasiri231]

Sorry this might be a dumb question but why did you cut a hole in the bottom of the sump? Could the pump not pump the waste water to a drain outside?

[@superpenguin112]

Do you ever have problems with heat with the water tanks outside in a shed. I live in Florida and want to do the same, but I am afraid of the heat.

[@dxfgful]

Using the RF Large pump, is refilling the ATO reservoir inside a manual task, or was that automated as well? If its automated, how did you manage to get the pump to turn on/off at certain levels?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

We manually fill the RO reservoir with the reef factory large doser. It never really occurred to me that we could automate it without risk of a flood. Cam

[@chrissavage5897]

If they already running reef factory products why not stick with 2 large pumps for water changes, I’ve got 2 on mine doing 15 litre throughout the day. Work perfectly- I’d rather have everything all in one app

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

We could have done that. We do use the large reef factory doser for filling the RO reservoir. We went with the Kamoer mainly because it allows for ATO topup if we choose (but we haven’t). Cam

[@brianredban9393]

How far can the fresh saltwater container be away??

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I’ve never tried further than this, but my guess would be 50 meters (150 feet) or so. The main problem with additional length is that the water sits in the hose for longer. Cam

[@johnn6222]

Hi cam What percentage of water do you generally aim for daily on a automatic water change system

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I usually do 1-2% per day but it totally depends on the tank. Cam

[@vardenispavardenis2318]

if i want to use this Water Change System fresh wather i have to take prom sumo another tank or i can connect tube to my home water pipes where is some pressure?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

You would be best having a storage tank filled to draw the water from. This allows you to condition the water so it’s ready to go straight into your aquarium. Cam

[@vardenispavardenis2318]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV what reason to use this system if you have to preper wather in another tank. i have wather pipe straight under aquarium and now just fill aqaurium straight from pipe. question was, can a use this system if i conecct straight to the pripe?

I definitely adjusted it after the last video. I’ll go back especially with my laser level and get it perfect😂 Cam

[@bishop999]

I must be the only person that thinks this is totally mental? A fish tank set up that requires 200m of piping and over 2000Lt of water in two huge tanks outside in its own shed? 😮

[@johnkoutsantonis7187]

I heard no mention of an ATO, wouldn't salinity steadily climb since evaporation is still taking place?

[@odog12345]

Did you listen to the video on silent?

[@johnkoutsantonis7187]

@@odog12345 just listened to whole video again with volume turned on , made no difference, still no mention of ATO. you must have recorded that part on silent.
