How often do you check on your reef tank? (Apex, GHL, live stream, etc)
I keep my apex tab up all day at work and check on it every hour or so. Mainly terrified of seeing another flood alert but also checking parameters from automated testing.
Hydros Waveengine LE module only.
140 obo or willing to trade for Hydros XD, or dosing pumps.
Located in Illinois but willing to ship at buyers expense.
I set up this tank as a bit of a gesture to myself for doing well on the LSAT a few years ago. Since then, it’s survived 3 moves, many crashes, and a switch out of law school and back to my old career. To say the least, it’s kept my mind straight through some rough times. It’s just a bit over...
Up for sale is a used Kamoer KH Carer automated alkalinity testing machine & doser. I got this machine back in early 2023 and used it for approximately 4 months and then packed it away into storage since I had other alkalinity testing devices in use. I recently re-set it up and installed the...
I have a 75 gallon. I’m planning to upgrade my technology as the stuff on it is just what I had laying around. I’m wanting to do 2 Mp10 and hydros controller. What’s every thoughts about this? And what every opinion on buying second hand vortechs?

So, this is my first reef tank. I don't have a catchy name for it yet. This is something I've been thinking about doing for 20 years or so, having bought books about reef tanks, before the days of high speed internet. I came very close to pulling the trigger several times. I have been moving...

I recently embarked on my journey into the world of saltwater tanks with a Waterbox 150.4 Infinia Reef tank. After successfully setting up the cabinet and tank, I am now diving into the world of hardware and automation. I'm reaching out to the community for advice and assistance, especially in...
I'm moving on from the reefing hobby and have decided to let go of my reef art collection. I have some pieces I commissioned a couple of years back from artist Elain @lazycoffeedesigns. She has been at some of the big Aquarium hobby shows and been featured by many of the big sites and channels...
I got a Hydros wave engine LE and was wondering if there was any nano pumps that work with it? My tank is only 24 gallons so any of the large wave pumps they have on their list wont fit. Also other recomendations on equipment that can be added to the 0-10V port would be great! Maybe if...
Hello all!
I am in the planning stages of a new tank build and I am going to implement a LED t5 hybrid lighting. I am considering using dimmable t5s connected to a 0 - 10 v on a hydros controller. Alternatively I could just use regular t5 with my LEDS and "ramp them up" by turning on one bulb...
I was recently at my local LFS for a quarterly club meetup and the presenter was really confident that Apex was by and far the best aquarium controller and other controllers just were still to far off to really be even considered competition at this point. I've seen this view expressed elsewhere...

After several years of hesitation I have finally decided to join the reef aquarium hobby. I blame Youtube for pulling me into this potential money pit! One night I found myself watching a video about traveling to Japan to buy high end koi fish. The koi pond videos led me to freshwater planted...

At 3:00 AM last Thursday, my wife and I awoke to my tank alarm and the fire alarm going off. My oceanic 150 blew a seam and causing an electrical fire. In my 14 years of being in this hobby, I never thought something like this would happen to me (jokes on me lol).
Luckily, there’s no damage to...
