So I threw in the towel on my Reefkeepers, too unreliable for the coral I keep. I moved t Hydros after finding used X4 with 2 power bars a dosing pump and feeder. All very reasonable. Ended up with 4 power bars... 2 heaters, two return pumps, ATO, Gyre's... Anyway you get the idea. Ending up out of ports, out of sense ports, out of probe ports, and out of drive ports.
So, I added a Hydros Launch, Merging the two becomes a collection. After the learning curve and serious finagling it was all running. So what to do with ann those ports? Adding Salinity probe, tank temperature to compare to sump temperature . Second another add backups. So now I can automate everything I can. Open plugs, open ports, open sense ports open drive ports.
In coming weeks expect to see here really come to life
.
Happy reefing

I continue to chase 10x turnover per hour and match my max flow of the CPR 100 overflow box. So I upgraded my return pump to AI Neptune 900. And because I nerd out over technology I added flow meter.Needless to say everything else in your system has to also be built with that throughout in mind. And my sump now cannot keep up with 500 gph let alone my goal of 600 or theoretical limit of the CPR at 800 gph. Any thoughts on increase sump flow, I'm all ears.
Long term report on this pump will be in this thread going forward. As well as a growing Hydros system. I've had to learn a lot. One of the things I learned is they need to work on web documentation and make themselves available. Manual on the web intends to be easier, but navigation is difficult. Then there is little troubleshooting, lastly, no chat, no phone number. Just a contact form. That's it for support.

Nautilus is finally running correctly. Anyone know how to set a schedule to slow it at night? I'm running Hydros with AI Nautilus 0-10v control

Lighting is complete. Two Orphek SO 3 Blue Plus for early and late use and views. My Atlantik mid-day for full sun. Full tune coming with my PAR meter soon. I got a call from Aquacave that my new CRP overflow with dual hoses came in, likely a weekend project. Here a picture of full lights.

Today I updated my return hose to something more flexible. I also updated my siphon break, sometimes my ideas really do work as planned

Well, I flip that little dust collector over and it becomes a very efficient bubble trap
