Since I have an apex I bought the Neptune Par Monitoring Kit. It works great but once I took all the measurements I needed, I removed it from the tank since it’s an eyesore and haven’t used it again. With lighting it’s best to set it and not touch the levels if you’re getting results. So it...

Thanks. That thing is incredible. I’ll add it to my coral wish list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Disappointing to hear that the fan is much louder in the G5 because supposedly EcoTech designed a new fan in house for it. I also would expect more from Ecotech. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like you’re doing the steel work for the stands yourself. That’s sweet. Probably saving you a ton of money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Add another DI canister. That way you can use all of the DI resin up in one of the canisters before the TDS creeps up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good call. I want to do all sticks in my next tank. Update us with pics when you get it rolling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats. This hobby is so addicting. Any particular theme for the second tank? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Oh forgot to mention that. Lighting is two Radion XR30 Pros gen 3. They are set to 45%. The par level at the SPS is around 250 to 350. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you set the Versa to do automatic water changes like the Neptune dos? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s a sweet design. Agreed that redundancy is so important when you’ve got hundreds if not thousands of dollars of livestock at stake. Definitely need to have a plan for battery backup or some way to power essential equipment in the event of a power outage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Sawdonkey where do you buy the gas pistons for the canopy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m also trying to sell the tank and equipment, not just the livestock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a custom 125g acrylic peninsula from Old Town aquariums with a 34g trigger system sump. If anyone is interested pm me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all. Appreciate the advice. I’ll do some calling around and see what makes the most sense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do any of the Chicagoland LFS buy livestock or used aquariums? I have a 125g SPS dominant tank that I unfortunately need to take down since I’m moving soon. I figured it would be easier to sell to a LFS (i.e. one person/place) rather than bunch of individual buyers for individual parts and...
