Buckerberg's Reefer 170

[Buckerberg]

Added a Starry blenny today to deal with some algea that is popping up everywhere in the tank.

Bought him last week but released him this morning into the tank. He is already perching on top of the monti's

Santa came a little late this year but its time to add a controller to the tank

Got an Apex a3


Considered GHL as an alternative but went with Apex cause

It better integrated with my current setup.
Adding some custom DIY stuff seemed easier and better documented.
Apex's config language is within closer to my software development comfort zone.

Always make sure you have a battery backup ready, you never know when disaster will strike!

Quick april FTS

Have been neglecting the reef a bit over the past months. Just did its first water change in 2 months. Tank is thriving apart from some minor GHA outbreaks which is probably related to the infrequent water changes.

Got 2 pitho crabs and some extra hermits last week to help with cleaning up!
