Hey all, I thought I would post this here in case anyone might be interested in AWC solutions. This will be a 3 part series, Episode 1: The unboxing, Episode 2: Configuration and application demonstrations, Episode 3: Final installation and thoughts after running it for a few weeks. I am releasing these on IGTV and YouTube but will cross post here as well.
BLUFF (Bottom Line Up Front):
BRS just started offering the X2SR but it's complete overkill for most tanks out there. It moves a whopping 900ml/min and at almost $500 is probably not the best investment unless you have a giant tank or enjoy pouring salt water down the drain. The X2S moves a more reasonable 300ml/min range and if you are changing out 5 gallons or less a day like most of us it's priced pretty reasonable (less than $270) for a WiFi controlled stand alone unit that also includes an integrated ATO with continuous rated stepper motors. Downside, it's not currently retailed in the US market and you can only get it thru AliExpress. But obviously I got one so it's not exactly a show stopper.
Episode I
**EDIT** I fat fingered the title, it's X2S sorry!!
