Hi Folks!

I'm getting back into the saltwater aquarium hobby after 10 years. I used to have a 85 gallon mixed reef but had to take it down when I moved. It's wild to see all the new technology since I was last in the hobby. LED lights have come a long way and a lot of components are WIFI enabled now.. just amazing! I'm currently putting together a new 100 gallon system with the goal of having SPS corals. I've been struggling to find a good ATO system. It seems like most of the controllers now come with a pump that can only push water a few feet up. If anyone has any recommendations for a controller that can work with any pump and has good safety / redundancy features, I'm all ears! Looking forward to meeting everyone in this great hobby. Happy New Year!
