I haven't updated this in a bit so here goes
So far (except the cobalt neotherm heater that was total and absolute garbage including their customer service) I have been extremely happy with my equipment choices.
The refugium
In tank refugium basket although it has a few flaws has worked out great. The light
Although only 20 watts and granted I'm only using one panel has been perfect in growing my cheato.
A week's worth of growth
What I toss, not bad considering I only feed my fish every other day and there are only 4 of them. About a softball size chunk. I'd call that a win.
For flow
The mightyjet 326 has been a God sent. The ability to dial in flow has been invaluable specially with fine sand. So glad I didn't go with more popular more reliable AC options. Currently running it at 10 watts which seams to be perfect coupled with the random flow generator. Have turned it up to 13 watts with no problem. Well worth the investment IMHO. The Nero5 and its adjustability is key in a nano, specially in a nano, and double specially (that sounds wrong) for a nano with fine sand. Only gripe is the Bluetooth (it's garbage). Only reason I won't be upgrading my light to the new ai prime 16hd.
Also this.....
The app... Am I on feed mode? On schedule? Is everything off? Who knows, you don't know I don't know the app doesn't know and it won't tell you. Hey AI how about highlighting the current mode! ok mini rant over
