More goodies. Inkbird wi-fi heat controller. Has an awesome app, the unit is a steal for $60. Matching mounting bracket from Harry’s Aquatics. And Apex orange split wire loom for routing cords and cables, 25 feet. That’s the smallest amount I could order. More than I can use. If you want some just pay shipping and and I’ll send you some.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but are you not going to be able to set up your rewfer 250 at all.now, or do you just have to wait for the future

I am happy to say I'll be able to get this system up and running when I get a new house or apartment. There is no doubt I'll be able to find a place I can have it, however, when that will be is the question now.

I have the cabinet on its side to mount the Cronos glass door.

powers2001 · Apr 1, 2020

Here's the door on, open and closed.

Thats a cool looking stand, are those automatic dosers?

powers2001 · Apr 2, 2020

@Angel_Anthias lover yes those are dosing containers. I haven’t mounted the dosing pump yet. I was originally going to mount it inside the cabinet but the user guide said be careful the lines could get clogged and leak. I don’t want liquid dripping on my electronics so I’ll mount it on the outside of the cabinet. Even though it looks kind of tacky.

Mounted the display module with a bracket from Harry's Aquatics and routed the cord through split wire loom to protect it from getting snagged.

Looking great, everything is very cleanly done. Bet you can't wait to get water in the tank in a few months!

Angel_Anthias lover · Apr 4, 2020

Thanks! I'm very OCD about everything lol. I completely redid mounting and routing cords with my modules on the controller boards because I didn't like the original look.

Actually I'm in no hurry to get this wet, I've got a lot of projects. I still have to build my DIY T5 / Radion hybrid system, plumb the sump, and do more electronics on the 250 side.

Thanks!! No, actually no one has asked yet. I'm going to try keeping it all captive bred if at all possible. I definitely want an angel, wrasse, clown, and a sand-sifting goby, but that is all right now and haven't decided on exact species. I'm very limited with captive-bred.

Did you see those CB lyretail anthias on divers den, they could be an option maybe as a single one.

No WOW I got to check it out now !!!!

Angel_Anthias lover · Apr 4, 2020

Sadly i think they all sold out, but there should be more in the future

Angel_Anthias lover · Apr 4, 2020

That was them before they were sold

Looks like they sold as groups so I probably wouldn't be able to afford them even if my tank was running. Thanks for the heads up though !!! I wonder how big they were.

Some of them look super tiny, hopefully in the future their will be more.

Have you looked into the randalls assessor, or assessors in general, theyre CB frequently from what ive seen, if you were interested.
Also recommend the komohara fang blenny for a CB fish, i have one and hes very cute and funny. Sometimes he will flash at his reflection and the whit turns a minty green in his stripes towards his tail which is cool

powers2001 · Apr 4, 2020

I like the assessors, have seen live specimens, and really like them. It's much different to see a fish in real life as opposed to pictures. As far as the komohara, no but I will check it out, sounds like they have lots of personality.
