Nyos reef cement is the best for wet rock. It sets the fastest so you can get it back into the water with short turnaround.
The stand is absolutely beautiful! I wish I had that level of skill with detail. My stand is going to be a bit more “rustic”. Lol I was reading through and we’ve made some of the same choices on equipment... ATI Sunpower lighting, Synergy Reef sump, and planet aquarium. Great minds think alike Ithink your wife will fall in love with the big tank...after your backs recover from moving that stand. Lol I can’t wait to see how it looks all set up!
Oh yeah, I don't use it for anything. I have the probe, and it's in my tank, but I haven't calibrated it or really pay it any attention. If it swings wildly, I might check my salinity when I get around to it...maybe.I've heard rumors of how bad the Apex salinity probe can be, but wow...
I am on the fence right now about what direction to go. Please provide as much detail as you can about what you don’t like about the apex and what you decide to go with.I’ve been playing around with my Apex. I’m really not impressed... it feels like cheap junk and I’m pretty sure the internal components ARE cheap junk. I might sell it and go a different route.

the only thing leaning me into apex is my old apex jr was perfect and being color blind the trident would be awesome
Have you considered the hydros?I don’t like how terrible the conductivity probe is. Mostly I just think the system is way overpriced for the quality. Most of the addon accessories have such bad reviews I won’t even bother with them. Flow monitors, PAR monitors, auto feeders, even the EB832 all have pretty mixed reviews and they’re basically novelty items. The app is pretty clunky and painful too. They should hire a UX designer.
I will probably switch to GHL controller with a Mastertronic at some point.

wouldn't they die off contribute to the ammonia? That wouldn't kind of make sense to me that you are seeing a small ammonia spike. Not totally sure though. Also, if this has already been answered in a post, forgive me. I'm barely on page 5 of your thread. Been reading it for the last 70 minutes.I’m really not sure. Even crazy high ammonia in the boxes would not kill the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria.
I did lots of homework before ordering this and there are plenty of reports of people having zero cycle with wet-shipped rock. Just bad luck? Or maybe this is typical?
