And that's where the fun ended. I cannot get the Apex to connect to my wifi (i have several Apex's... so I don't think it's totally me - a ticket is in with Neptune)... no controller or Trident for now.
The skimmer.. nearly the smallest one reef octopus makes barely fits into my skimmer section (the lip on the top of the sump is too big).. I can get it in with effort and a little dismantling. Though now I cannot use the heater rack in the sump because it is in the way of the skimmer... so that neat upgrade is out (along with my second redundant heater, as there is no room). One day after setup, the skimmer is not working... all blue lights blinking.. resetting didn't do anything. I took half of it apart, nothing. Took the entire skimmer out, dismantled it and ran it in a 10g side tank. It now works again. Chipped my sump putting the skimmer back in.

Setup my ATO... very straight forward. turned it on... sat back. all seemed well. Left the room. came back 20 minutes later, heard a whinning pump noise. The entire volume of my 5G reservoir has been dumped into my 32G tank. I quickly unplugged the Duetto. what the heck.

On the bright side the Radion is awesome. connected easily. looks great (i have always had AI Hydras, Primes, T5's and metal halides) ... I like the new Ecotechs. That said the mount cannot be centered as my overflow is in the way. I either need to go with an offset light, buy another Ecotech for the other side just to make it look symmetrical, or get a different mounting system.
