Got this un-used IKS Aquastar at a good price from a nice decom reefer.. I am using this AquaComputer to monitor and controls some of the water parameters...

I got the same model but it's 75W instead of 150W.. Currently using as reverse lighting for my sump/refugium... let me know if you are interested.... sms 98177568...

Bro.. can reserve the Eheim external filter for me?

You can get all the two items from Sim Lim square... for the Inverter/UPS is around $168 and the battery (30 amp) is around $250... Actually, if you just want to support the wavemakers only for 1-3 hours downtime, I think you can get the standard computer UPS in the market. For me, because I want the return pump and all the others equipments (such as skimmers, FR, etc.) to be able to function even the power breakout and for longer time (at least 6 hours)... The Inverter/UPS and the battery will depend on how much Watts is required by your setup and the battery will depend also how long you want to support the UPS (hours).. If you are buying a Inverter... please make sure the it support the UPS function and has the function to re-charge the battery... otherwise, you need to buy each device (the UPS device and the battery charger) separately. .. Usually, only higher watt inverter (support more than 800W) will have these two functions build in...

Thank Bro.... do you have the contact no or address of the agent...?

Bro... thank for the advice...so far so good....

Spreaking about power... got this 4-way timer FOC from a fellow recom reefer when I got the IKS AquaStar from him It serves me well for controlling the 3 x 250W MHs and 2 x ATI T5 Blue Plus and moonligh LEDs..

This is very important: Power protection... If you don't want the power surge on the tank or faulty pumps or any power problem on the equipment to affect the whole power supply of the house you should get this ... I connected my main power source of the tank to this device...so that any power surge will stop at this plug.. I also installed a DIY UPS which will provide at least 12 hrs of continious power supply to the two MP40w and the 7500L/H return pump...this will give me ample time to handle any power breakdown

some closed up pictures to make the day:: prata couples

The sump is powered by a resun 7500L/H pump...circulation in the frag section is from the refugium to the frag and pass through the bubble trap straight to the return section .. so, water flow is OK... if I need a higher flow within the frag section ... can just add a small wavemaker.. but for the time being... I think it's sufficient..

Another view of the Refugium and Frag section in action

The 3-in-one sump is always my dream... so, took this opportunity to include a refugium and a Frag section in the sump.. The water will flow from the inlet section into the skimmer/FR section and then to the refugium and into frag section and finally into the return section.
