Do you all run Apex systems? With this nano I didn’t want to go that big but I can see that most reefers end up going with one eventually.

I'm pretty automated but I still test all the time for trends.

Yes I use Hanna checkers constantly for nutrients trident for all cal mag

I run one but don't use it to.its potential. More of a let me know if something is off type of thing..ie salt, ph temp

I run a GHL Profilux on my tank. I've used Apex in the past and been burned by them. I decided to give GHL a shot, really is nice either way you go, to have some peace of mind.

Just hop back in this thread and that newbie @billyocean "I'm no pro" will help guide you if you have questions. Or other friends in this thread.

And I’m normally a Reddit guy for advice about stuff, but once I discovered reef2reef. This is my source for information now. I can’t tell you how many hundreds of hours I’ve already put into reading here in the last few months. The information available here is amazing.

Nope. I'm a 32 gallon with one Kamoer doser and Tropic Marin All For Reef. Honestly all I have to test for is Alk. I'll test the rest once a week, Alk every three days. Consumption changes only since I've been fiddling with my stocking list, otherwise it can stay dialed in for weeks at a time.

It is. But to be candid, the SBB crew are the best. Everyone is helpful, but there is a mini community here.

I really try to put as little effort in on a day to day basis for stability sake and time management now I’m heavily automated on two reef tanks

This is my approach now too. My freshwater tank I tried to be more hands on and then when I got busy things went downhill fast. My reef tank is now fully automated so if I get busy things don’t go downhill.

Once you get the trident system (I know you need Apex controller as well) is the regent affordable to run?
Im currently using Hannah for NO3 and Phos ppb and then salifert for everything else.

All for reef seems like a great product I’d like to try it soon

The husband! What do your tanks look like? I saw @TheWife s intro thread, sounds like you've been doing it awhile?

It’s not terrible compared to other test

Really love it. Been doing it for a year, did my first ICP in January and it was golden.

Agreed, literally a handbook for the responsible educated reefkeeper. Just skip over the parts where things don't go well, but definitely learn from them.

I originally wanted a 200+ but it wouldn't fit through the door leading to the basement. Before covid, hubby and I were planning to upgrade our 65 to a larger that's a peninsula style because we want to see from all sides from the kitchen. Its very likely won't happen now because the dimensions are very specific due we believe strongly in feng shui and cost is way up there to custom build one. Oh well, 65 is still great.

20-30 bucks a month or something like that?

Also...there isn't a rule that works the same for everyone. Every tank is different but there's a range of things to be within. I break most of the moulds in what works for me but it's still under the same range.
