Hi all, have been searching answers for weeks and somehow I'll end up always in this forum, so here we go. I have had some experience before but with fresh water and discus, this was some years back. Am now interested in salt water and before jumping in, am seeking answers that I do find here. Thanks to all of you.

Goal is to to automate, every x years I refresh my knowledge since I started and think things have slowly come to a very interesting and mature point in terms of automation. Now the most interesting part is do we go for a Ferrari setup or have some fun and go the DYI (robo-tank / reef-pi) path .. this is for me the path I have to find out.

So still nowhere really but preparing for the jump.
Cheers all

Hello and welcome.

I find that it’s always best to learn how to manually keep a reef tank before automating. Unless you know the cause and effect of how all the components work together, you will not be able to figure out a problem when leaving your tank in the hands of automation.
