Hv added some zoas, Birdnest n a red charlice to test out . All seem happy.
Diatom all over rocks. Started running Rowa Phos n carbon in a TLF PhosBan Reactor 150. Not too sure if it’s right thing to do to reduce nitrates n phosphate for a young tank. Let’s monitor.
Very nice! Camping for more updates!

I am using a Jebao DCS-7000. Here are some pics. Hope they are clear enough.

Thanks for the pics. Very nice and neat. I also want to change!

I had placed my chiller facing into my living area so hot air discharges out to my ‘balcony’.
It tooks abt 20mins to chill down to 26.5 degrees n kicks in 3hrs later at 27 degrees.
I like the idea of being able to control the pump externally. Read that ur using a single pump for both chiller and flow to the tank. Can show some pics? Price of the pump and model? Many thanks

The sump look nice. Why you don't like
Old design, the skimmer is place on front left for easy access. Now it’s on top right. I think they increased the size of the ATO tank too. Good and bad. Bigger = less top ups but more crammed.
Don’t know if the ATO is working. The tubes are in the way. Very hard to access the left sump area

Some updates. Tank arrived on Monday sorry for the lousy pics. A brother here thought I was a guy wearing girls pants....fainted
Filled the tank up with old tank water and buckets....back breaking work.
Dont like the layout of the new sump. Not as functional. Heard that this is a new design “upgrade”. Aesthetics wise maybe, functional wise, it’s a “downgrade”. Lol

Very interesting concept bro. Very nice too! I don’t see any chiller. I read that sometimes temperature will go up to 31 degrees. Will it be too hot for the fishes? I’m newbie, camping here to learn! Lol

Saw that you have a lemon peel angel. Does yours nibble the corals? Thinking hard about this or the red dwarf angel. Thanks!

Most folks do not plug the lights directly to the Apex power bar as it may overload it. Most folks plug lights directly to a normal socket & use the original lights' app to manage light schedule. With an add on Apex WXM module, you can control Ecotech Vortech wavemaker & Radion lights (but not the Vectra pumps).
Apex can on/off wavemakers (for feed mode) but has limited control for other brands of wavemakers (eg Jebao & gyre). An add on modules is needed but some wave profiles may not be available.
Apex is good for switching on/off motors or pumps when it detects leaks (additional ALM module needed) or CO2 solenoid based on the pH probe reading. i.e. automate things & trigger action based on timing, pH or temperature.
I'm using Ecotech Reeflink to control my wavemakers & return pumps as it offers better control.
My AI Hydra lights run independently.
Everything else is managed by Apex.
Thanks bro. Really appreciate your insights on the the various gadgets and systems as a end user. Saved me many hours of surfing and still getting nowhere lol
I think I will settle with the basic stuff for now (new tank) and learn the basics along the way before I take the plunge! Cheers!

I won't recommend getting 316 stainless steel ones as well. Its going to be very expensive & that level of clamping force is not required. Aside from cable ties, nylon clamps are a good option if you need things more secure.

Monitoring temperature & tank pH is nice to have but not mandatory. Your chiller would already have a temperature display. Unless your chiller is out of sight, then have a separate temp probe/meter.
Tank pH is good info, but for most folks, would probably be in the normal range & not do anything. So its probably lower on the priority list for a start.
Apex Neptune is supposedly coming out with a Trident module that can measure Ca, Mg, KH. It was verbally mentioned as US$40 for 2 months' usage. Local prices are expected to be higher. Then with that measurement, you can use the Apex DOS system (need 2 sets of DOS) to dose supplements. No one knows the price of Trident but my rough guess is the full Apex system will probably set you back about S$3.5k-$4k. Don't get me wrong, the Apex is a fantastic tank controller & I'm a big advocate on such controllers to make reefing easier.
Personally i'm using the Alkatronic (current retail price is S$1399) that measures KH & able to auto dose KH. Reagent is also cheaper ($109 that can last about 1 years' worth of measurement). It can control the power to any dosing pump or calcium reactor that doses Ca, Mg, KH in a balanced way.
Thanks for the prompt and detailed reply bro. I will think I’m definitely priced out for apex.
From what I read, the alkatronic can do the dosing function at a fraction of the price. The apex cost more and functions like fully integrated control system for the home aquarium? Like lights, wavemaker, chiller control?
Thanks
