    DIY Reef Monitor

    I have been very happy with my Aquacontoller 3, especially because of the built in ethernet. So far the only thing that I found lacking, was a lack of logging for the device statuses.

    Hang on Tank Overflow I originally setup the tank with a single overflow. The setup was very noisy and carried a large risk of making a big flood if the siphon were to ever stop. What I ended up doing to resolve the noise and to alleviate some of my stress was to glue two overflows together...

So far had some minor difficulties with a couple of my early LPS additions, lost a torch...
