    Bio:

    Christine Williams started keeping fish while she was still a fetus. While the aqueous environment did lend itself to the hobby, it limited her to freshwater species, and so she decided to be born several weeks early. Through sign language, she demanded that her parents convert her crib into a reef aquarium and thus started her illustrious career in marine ornamentals. After completing her studies in biochemistry and molecular microbiology she went to work at “Animal ER” where unfortunately she was not filmed for the Animal Planet channel (though her feet did make a cameo during a rescue segment). Currently she works as the product development manager for a naturally-derived products company, where she is very happy to spend time in her lab making things that smell good and don't explode often. She frequently lectures on reef topics including marine animal disease, fish husbandry, human-tank zoonosis, and fish cognition. Contact Christine at christine@reefthreads.com.

    You can build an auto top off including the aqua lifter pump for less than 40.00. Possibly considerably less depending on what you might already have

    The thing I wonder about ATO's like the smart ATO with little pumps like that is if your water reservoir is above the sump when the pump runs and then

    PetSolutions is similar to DrsFosterSmith. Lacking in some areas, better in others. Shipping to this area is days faster than the doctors though.
