Thousands of manhours in the planning/design :) and 2 tanks before it to learn from haha. (And im still learning)

Yes John i built that reactor its got a magnetic stirrer under it. and the top portion is new because when I was filling it up a few weeks back with my RO/DI unit I wasnt paying attention and hooked the RO line directly into one of the quick connect fittings.... filled it up went to take the tube off when it was about half full and the top blew off because it was under about 75 PSI cuase I left the lid on on accident... oops :)

Nice job Nick, wish I had that discipline to organize that well. You've seen my Ghetto Reef, but it works. Glad to see the Derasa made it home.

Thanks again Mike for clam sitting :)

Flipside, im using some code from Carlos Reef http://www.carlosreef.com/ and Russ from http://www.reeftronics.net/ helped me modify it to work with his services.

mpwolken, The relays turn on/off my 12V items that way i can power the relays with 120v from the energy bards via the Apex then the relays power fans, an alarm and in the future a fish feeder. I have a single 12V power supply mounted next to the relays also to power most of my 12v items adn reduce the wall warts :)

That is a clean, CLEAN install. Nicely done.

BTW, I'm from Jackson. What part of town are you living in?
