Hello All! I starting this thread to showcase my Waterbox 130.4 build. I have planned a lot on automation and a lot of gadgets. I am indeed a control freak.
My Waterbox 130.4 finally arrived here in Canada after around 3 months.
Some of the equipments that I have now and will be adding more soon.
Neptune Apex El ( Did not go for the full Apex as I always found the salinity probe to be a pain or inaccurate )
Neptune COR-20 return pump
Neptune Sky's for the light x2 ( Yes, I know radians are so popular but I wanted to really try something new ) The spread is really good and gives a T5 hybrid look.
Radion RMS Gen5 Mounts for Sky's ( Yes, Radion mounts work with the Neptune Sky's )
Neptune DOS x2 ( One for BRS 2 part dosing and other for my auto water changes from my basement )
Kamoer X1 Pro WiFi doser - Had an extra one will probably use for Mag dosing or liquid food
Neptune ATK ATO ( I have this setup in the basement to push water up almost 10 Ft up to my sump ) This needs a FMM module to power the PMUP.
Neptune Solenoid - I use this with a combination of optical sensors to fill my RO water as it depletes. This needs a FMM module to power the solenoid.
Neptune Trident - Monitor my All, Cal and Mag ( The 3 most imp params for stable tanks )
Nyos 160 Protein Skimmer
Nyos Torq reactor Gen-2 - For running Rox carbon and GFO when needed
BRS 5-stage RODI system
BRS 2x 300 Watt titanium heaters with InkBird Wifi controller
Klir DI-4 filter roller fleece - I don't like to deal with cleaning filter socks
Ice Cap CO2 Scrubber
Adaptive Reef standard controller board
Neptune Leak Probe - I use this around the Sump and basement mixing station ( This is plugged into the FMM module )
Neptune 1" flow sensor - Used to monitor tank / sump turn over rate ( This is plugged into the FMM module )
Ecotech MP-40 powerhead
Nero 3 - I use 2 of them on the back wall for flow in lower areas and rock gaps
Future / Coming soon - Aqua UV Sterilizer
Used Marco rock for creating my version of HSNA aquascape which I was inspired from Ryan from BRS.
If you want to move heavy tanks do get some suction cups they are a life saver.
Attaching some pictures for now. Will also do a detailed write up on the mixing station if anyone is interested as there are too many of them.
