What's going on? I'm looking for the best reef forum to station myself. Been reefin' about 10 years now. I fell in love with the Florida Keys, went snorkeling a few times, and discovered from a coworker that I could put a reef in my living room! I've dabbled in and out constant hobbies but this one has always stuck.

I have a pretty custom set up that I will post a journal on soon.

It's a 29 gallon topless biocube with the back wall removed, an internal overflow box using a herbie system, spilling into a display refugium/sump a mere 9" lower than the reef tank, built on a awesome custom stand!

I also built a DIY reef controller using a Raspberry Pi and the ReefPi software which works flawlessly! I plan to post a good tutorial for a how-to hardware build like the one I have. I have a simplified version with good graphics and explanations already drawn up. My idea is to help those that may feel apprehensive about doing a relay build if the project seems like too much. With just a little handy, it's easy, reliable, and safe.

I heard this forum was becoming the place to be so I look forward to using it as my mainstay and learning from the community.
 
Welcome @daytonajim00 to R2R. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of this unique setup you have. I'd suggest a Member's Tank thread to document your tank set up. Again, welcome.

Welcome to the Reef! This is a great place for info and entertainment. Right now there is a thread on who has received a shipping box from BRS that has the R2R logo on it and folks are going crazy with excitement (if they got one) or truly bummed if not and a placing new orders in anticipation of getting a coveted box! It’s hilarious. I personally have received two “golden” boxes but who’s counting. [emoji23]
