I’m crazy about redundancy. I have a 75g sps tank with a pretty normal amount of equipment for this type of system. You can never be too safe when you have this much invested, right??

In reserve I have:
-40breeder
-sump
-deltec skimmer
-NIB apex and EB8
-NIB temp and ph probes
-NIB and used heaters
-powerheads
-return pump
-6x36 sunpower
-NIB osmolator pump
-brs dosers
-Honda generator

I guess I have a turnkey system for any individual component to fail or a total migration if needed. Most of this is just saved gear from upgrades btw except the critical stuff.

I have a fish store one mile away.....lol

I wish I had all your stuff. Extra heaters, wave pump wet sides, back up battery, battery power air stone. Need an extra vectra m2 pump.
 
i don’t have the space available for another tank. but i can definitely start investing in a backup return/wave pump, heater(s), maybe even light
 
I’ve got a few heaters, HOB filters, and a few power heads.
