I agree with Kris about the trimming. Once you will arrange the stems into nice little well behaved bushes, you'll be amazed what difference it will make.
Keep up the good work.

That will work just fine for regular water changes.
A question to ask is if the carbon filter is better or worse at removing chloramines than the dechlorinator ... With small gradual water changes a planted tank will do fine with both anyways, but it would be nice to know.

IMED Gemini 4
If I remember correctly it was 80 for the pump and 55 for new tubing set. It does not seem to be able to work with anything else than that special tubing.
It has 4 pumps, it can dose as low as 0.1ml per hour, battery backed up.

Very cool stuff, Eugen! Question: You're using 1-wire ds1820 temperature probes - did you have to coat them in epoxy to make them water proof? Or do you perhaps have them attached to the exterior of the tank? I'm really interested in this system, as I don't think I can afford the Neptune controller...

The 2 55's are in the living next to each other, against the kitchen wall.
The drain and water supply go through the wall into the kitchen ( I modified the original pipes to accommodate this extension)
The holding tank is a Home Depot 5 paint bucket placed under one of the tanks.
