ok question time...Who has anything hydros... I am shopping now and gonna get a system for the 300. Then selling some of my GHL stuff since I will have a Cal/Mg reactor...
I am looking for what you have and what it does....
I have a x4 and an xp8. I .mostly use it for controlling my t5 fixture, temp controls, return pump for feedings, ph monitoring. I'm going to hook up a doser soon too. @tbrown had a bunch last I knew too.
 
Buckeyes !! . I’ve got those coming from Gorants . Mmmm!! 😋
I don’t know if your husband told you about Cookie tables at wedding receptions in Youngstown but everyone has buckeye cookies. Let me see if I have a video of my daughter’s cookie table, you should see buckeyes.

X4, XP8, X3, WaveEngine, Minnow. Also have an XD I haven't yet installed.

I'm not currently using the Minnow to dose so it's probably going to the 8 gallon soon along with maybe the XD.

I have leak sensor, several level sensors (ATO - reservoir and sump level), pH, and temperature.

Temperature turns my Inkbird on and off if the Inkbird gets too hot.

pH currently just monitors.

yep I am thinking xp8 and wave engine///still doing reading on their website
 
yep will have to use ph for cal/mag reactor when I build it...
Just want to get rid of all these power bricks and use one thing to control gyres
XP8, Kraken, WaveEngine, and X10 with IV. Should get rid of most every wall wart/power supply and have 8 fully controllable outlets for anything else. X10+IV gives you automatic alkalinity testing and dosing based on readings plus Sense ports for monitoring temp and water levels for ATO.
