Bruttall's 96x24x31 300gallon glass cage

My yellow wrasse jumped, he'd been in there for about 8 months with no tops on my tank, and found him the other day behind the tank all dried out. So I ordered a DIY screen frame kit from amazon and some clear netting. Note to self, I should have ordered 2 screen frame kits!

Added the Mimic Tang. So far he's made himself at home with the others.

Good job. Tank looks great man.

After telling myself for over a year I can't afford it, don't need it, I can do everything the Apex will do manually, I got the Brain, Brick and older DOS station for $400 yesterday. I still need the probes etc but I did not think it was a terrible price.

So far it is just adding the LaCl dilution, (20ml LaCl/1480ml RO/DI water+, to my sump to control Phos. Will start adding Reef Complete for Calc later this week once I nail down the dosing amount.

No probes included due to it being used and I guess you can't let the probes dry out or they don't work anymore, so I am looking for probes for the unit now. Mainly temp, salinity and PH/DKh probes I think to get started.

So, The Apex is pretty nice I have to admit. I like it. The version I have does not have the 4 FMM ports in the head unit, so I am assuming I got an AP2. That's ok. Setting this up and programming it has been a lot easier than I anticipated at first, once I got used to the language/terminology they use, this is a breeze. And the Charting for Parameter testing is top notch, even the manual input parameters. I even ordered the MXM module so I can attach my Mobius stuff to the unit. Should be here in a week. Got my fuge lights on timers, dosing module works great and seems super accurate. Skimmer, UVLight/Pump all hooked up, not I just gotta figure out a way to hide those dang cords!
