I setup my system to pretty much be automated with Kasa WiFi powerstrips. The rest is AI which is all WiFi/automated as well. I’m now wishing I had went with a controller but it’s too late and not logical monetarily to go backwards to get to where I’m at already, especially for a Biocube. So I’m now wanting to test my parameters with an automated system via WIFI. I will be going with the GHL KH and ION (thought it was being released in three days.... bummer) The issue is what would be the recommendation from you all for monitoring PH and Salinity as those two won’t be included since I will not be buying the GHL P4?
 
IMO monitoring PH is not necessary and I don't trust salinity readings from any hobby grade controllers so I would recommend just testing those manually.
 
I also don’t trust any salinity probes and as far as ph goes, I believe if your consistent with your water changes you don’t need to monitor ph in this small of a tank.

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
