    Bruce went "Overboard" Tank Journal

    I saw those, was just listing all the extra toys you can add while you're still in the build phase. The Ecotech battery is $250ish with the adaptor/booster cable you need, and the UPS backup is less than $100. They just add extra backup in case you have a long power outage.

    Bruce went "Overboard" Tank Journal

    Rock does look very nice. Another few additions you could add (assuming your not going with solar) would be an Ecotech backup battery for your return pump and a UPS backup battery for the Apex and/or EB832.

    Auto Feeding Reef Roids with Fish Feeder - Any Concerns?

    How exactly does a feeder dump? I've been using this style for well over 10 years and only issue I've ever had is either that the battery died or it got stuck and I didn't know.

    Auto Feeding Reef Roids with Fish Feeder - Any Concerns?

    I did some testing, was somewhat consistent but my plan is to only feed about a tenth to a quarter of the recommended amount and then also target feed with Reef Chili once every week or 2.

    Auto Feeding Reef Roids with Fish Feeder - Any Concerns?

    Like the title says, gonna try auto-feeding reef roids using the "Eheim Everyday Fish Feeder". I put a bunch of marbles in the container with the reef roids to keep it from clumping and have it going into a feeding ring in a high flow area of the sump, right before the returns (after all the...

    Advice

    Maybe offer that he keeps the tank and give him half his money back and the other half in future free corals when you have them available. That is assuming you don't want the tank back.

    I just got the BRS call!

    Didn't you say you were going to use the older apex. I don't think it's compatible with that unit.

    What made you choose glasscages vs. Crystal Dynamics or SCA (both in California)? I just ordered a 240 gal. from Crystal Dynamics and they charge $265 for curbside residential delivery to Oakland.

    Neptune Trident and Ancillary Sales

    The DDR has optical sensors installed in the bottom of each container which are supposed to alert you when they are empty. I've read they get covered in salt and fail often though.

    Tank Journal - No Tank

    I found this for the Coralife UV sterilizers. Interesting that Coralife recommends 400-1200 gph (for the 12x), but the chart shows that to kill parasites, it needs to be at 290gph.
