@Elder1945 I saw the clear PVC inline probe holders you now make on an episode of Let’s Talk Reef in which @Terence interviewed you. I can’t wait to get my hands on one. I emailed BRS to ask about an ETA, price, and measurements a couple of times. The only information they gave me is that the probe holders probably won’t be available for sale until after the busy holidays and they also told me I should get ahold of you for this information. Specifically I would like to know the overall length of the holder, pipe size diameter of the clear PVC, pipe size of the inlet and outlet plumbing, and if there is one of the individual probe holders that will accept an Apex temperature probe?

I am finalizing a few things but we are building them now.

I will have specs on them soon and you should see them listed early in the new year.

For the temp probe, the short answer is no the long answer is that we are trying to figure out a way to make it work without custom-making something that would add to the cost.

@Elder1945 do you have pictures of the BRStv boards they used for their video? I love how they mounted everything but their video doesn’t show the whole unit, just close ups.

@Elder1945 whats the eta on the cover and do you have any prototype photos? I am planning on picking up the cabinet in white but it is sitting next to the tank and am concerned about my 3 year old pulling cords and hitting buttons...

I have one cut... However, the sides are 1/2" and it looks a little bulky. We are working on this though and hope to have something set in stone in the next few weeks.

Yes, Right now the game plan is to have them launch on a few more sites. Once this is done I can start rolling out more and more faceplates.

Right now we have the following in testing or in the works.

EB832 slat (3 slats)
Acrylic cover
internal shelve with Power brick shelve
a lot of things with LED's in it.
Hydros plate (2 slats) would fit most of the hydros stuff released and in the works.

These are all in different stages of completion but the hard part is done. Once the cabinets are listed on more sites I can move to focus on more and more accessories (this will be soon).

I would say ETA on this is 8 weeks.

Hello I’m new here but I already have an Adaptive Reed cabinet. Before I start setting things up and have to potentially move things around, I know early in the plans and in pictures you mentioned a base, do you have a time frame that will be released? That the only part I need to get this build going.

Water testing starts tomorrow and the rest of the line is going to be packed.

So soon, real soon. moving forward will be quicker for me to make them but the first production run has a lot of setting up and so on 2 do.

We have one designed and done, You actually just reminded me that I have to make one for someone as I have totally forgotten.

As of right now, we are releasing around 20 new products into the market and I don't like building or selling sub-par products.

So yes we have one but when it will be for sale is up in the air. Our first round of accessories will have the acrylic cover (I am going to be posting pictures soon of this), EB832 Slat, Shelf kit for inside.

The base would be done after this.

What type of board are you using to build these?

I read the thread this AM I am surprised to see someone bite into the board and leave marks. I am familiar with Sintra (reptile enclosures) and HDPE (boat DIY or cutting boards), both these being very easy to work with as well.
