Love the aquascape!

Looks awesome. Interested in learning more about your automation and monitoring. I have been looking into the HYDROS and Apex units.

Thank you!!! To be quite honest with you , It used mainly to power things off in case of an emergency where ever I’m at. I have an overflow sensor which will trigger my ATO and Return Pump Off In the given case the ATO goes rouge or my return get clogged as it has happened with inverts making there way tot he overflow. As well as if it reaches a certain temp it’s will shut my heater off or will warn me if heater does not power on. In terms of usage Hydros is more user friendly, no coding and pretty easy to understand.

Nice! I went the budget route right now of setting up some Govee Water Sensors and some smart outlets then setup some functionality in IFTTT for the leak recovery and then just a heat controller for the temperature that kills power to the heater if it gets too hot and then alarms if the tank gets too cold.

I still need to do more research on the Hydros but its good to see the application of it being useful for even nano tanks.

They just released a new unit called the launch for the money it’s a heck of deal but yes that much more economical and works . I have some Govee Leds and Light switches and they work like a charm!!

Amazing Little Tank , But getting flow right has been a a nightmare

 

[Alex’s_Mini_Reef]

Got some new little pieces and got rid of some.
I’m having some tiny little patches of what appears to be Bryopsis over the past few months I’m heavily considering dosing Reef Flux.To prevent a future outbreak.

Looking great! Love those glowing corals !!

Is the AI Axis40 whisper quiet? I'm thinking about picking one up and I'm pretty sensitive to the humming sound of the DC pumps.

How do you feel about your stocking? I set up my 20G and I’m thinking of stocking similar to yours and curious how it’s working out.

In terms of livestock, I did have to get rid of my Blenny , he found a taste for my Scoly’s but other than my Conch moving everything around I have found it pretty easy to maintain. I am looking to replace him soon with something like a Nassarius. I did have to get rid of a few Frags Unfortunately to allow for the current frags to grow. But otherwise there nice little tanks.

I run mine at 20% I have two Axis, but to be quite honest when running a single one 75% you can hardly tell. There pretty darn quiet.

 

[Alex’s_Mini_Reef]

Everything Taking Off Nice, I am going to have to get rid of my Duncan seems like he not getting treated well by the Torch, I will be getting some more torch frags to fill in the top space soon.
