    DOS AWC - Setup Questions

    Hello everyone!

    Soon I will be getting my new RSM 260-E aquarium, sump upgrade, and Neptune apex system(New WiFi system, Auto Feeder, DOS, and Leak Detection). One thing about this that I am having trouble deciding on is what reservoirs to use for the NSW and OSW with auto water changes done by the DOS. I was considering getting 2 trigger 5 gallon reservoirs as the space would be more of an issue with my setup. Does anyone have better recommendations for a setup or can redirect me to other's? I feel 5g may be a little small for my setup (85G total volume). The purpose of this was to having to constantly refill the water. I was hoping to have everything (sump and reservoirs) inside my tanks stand, but would be willing to have the reservoirs outside if it was a better overall setup.

    Thanks!

    Let's say you would like to do 30% water change over 30 days. That would be about 28 gal/30 days or 0.9 gal/day.
    You would need to top off your salt water reservoir every 5-6 days or so.
    Conclusion- it would be more convenient to have larger reservoir.
    I have 45gal reservoir for auto water changes for my 240 total volume setup.
    It alows me to refil it every month or so.

    Space isn't an issue with the DOS. Just run the tubing where it needs to go to the reservoir whether that be under the tank or 50ft away.
