Ooo...I like that! Dedicated build thread???I built a double shelf for a set of 6G bookshelf tanks (works in progress) in 80/20 and I really like how it turned out. Ordering from tnutz the metal parts were less than a hundred dollars and then I just had to cut some additional plastic pieces. I like the idea of a nano cube on something similar, but as a vertical stand....
Quick update...nothing much has changed.
Outbreak of zoa nudi's from the initial stocking has been a pain, but a double-strength dose of Flatworm Exit did wonders for the larger nudi's. It was crazy to see them flood out of rocks and zoa colonies trying to escape the pain! I'll do another dose next week to catch any hatchlings. None of the other livestock seemed bothered at all, in fact everything seems much happier the following day.
Surface scum has been a little annoying as it builds up in the center of the tank. I'm using it as an indicator for when a water change is needed. Generally it takes about a week for the scum to accumulate enough to bother me.
Two new pieces of equipment to note: oxydator added to help with oxygenation and CO2 scrubber to reduce CO2 (obviously). Both seem to be working, ORP and PH are both consistently up. Algae seems to be growing less quickly which could be from the oxydator increasing the ORP or it could be tank maturity.
Controller has been stable! We've had two quick power outages since setting it up with both triggering the expected failsafe's in the setup. It takes about 8 seconds for the controller to kick back on when the power restores and it all goes back to normal.
Thank you! As much of it you are willing to share I will graciously appreciate. I have abandoned Grafana, and have been tinkering with Home Assistant in the mean time, but really like the capabilites of Node Red itself.
Thanks for the reminder and apologies for the time! Yes, we are remodeling nearly the entire house so reefing hasn't been on my mind. Here is my entire flow on my last setup:

Not a problem and thank you very much. I thought I was content with Home Assistant, but now that I'm starting to learn some coding as time permits. I want to see what I can come up with in NR. Plus your design and layout was so clean and organized it gives an awesome starting point, or tweak and use as is.Thanks for the reminder and apologies for the time!

Let me know if you need any more direction with that repo. I plan to setup another tank in my office once I have all the sheetrock finished.
