Thanks man!
That's the Pax Bellum ARID chaeto reactor. No algae to scrape off a screen, just push the buttons on my two quick disconnects and carry to the sink for chaeto harvesting.

I built a divider into the reactor side because the back of the stand is open behind it that way I could mount the new Apex to the back of it. I have access to the back of my stand luckily, don't really need to see the Apex, just an ipad. The Vectra and MP40 controllers drop straight down into the electrical Apex backside.
Side note, I was one of the unlucky ones and got one of the new Apex's that had a faulty SD card so when I went to do the AoS update it locked up the entire Apex. Neptune is sending me out a new one this week.

Well it's about time! Very nice looking, I'm anxious to see how the A.R.I.D. does for you. That may be a toy I add on down the road.

Haha, thanks! Yeah I'm anxious to see how it will perform as well. They sent bottles of stuff with it because supposedly you will need to dose nutrients because it really does its job.

No that's plastic strapping used to initially put small chunks of chaeto in. The lighting is sealed in the tube that runs the height of the reactor.

I will take some better pictures later on so people can see the reactor and stuff up close.

I have to do some wiring cleanup so please forgive the mess, lol. Red Sea sends an ato fill tank that sits over the filter socks, that was not gonna happen so I had a piece of glass cut that sits on the same supports to minimize any potential splashing or salt spray.

I'm using the Autoaqua Smart ATO Micro this go around, I usually use the full size. You can see the feed coming in from the back of the tank. Marinepure spheres in baffle and a block in the skimmer chamber. Decided to try out a Reef Octopus skimmer this go around, time will tell if it gets my approval.

I still have 6 sticks of this if it'll help. Been trying to find someone to use it for a while.

I was looking at those, do yours happen to be black? If so how much?
