Automated System

[DawgDiggity]

I have been out of the hobby for awhile and after buying my buddy's daughter a gift certificate at one of the best saltwater aquarium stores in the country I have the fever... I plan to build a 90g display using a 24g nano as a refugium. I want to build as close to an automated system as possible and haven't come across any threads dedicated to experience with different automated equipment and looking for suggestions!

Here is a pic of my last aquarium (55g with canister filter; was a lot of work!):

Might want to read this thread by an Apex employee.

I recommend a full controller like the Apex as well. I run the system to control my 5 or so tanks. Works very well and lots of support behind the product.
