Added a double hinge hasp to the IKEA. Probably won’t put a lock on but it secures the door shut tight and it didn’t before.

I have the plywood painted.Hung a small sheet of plywood on the side of the UV / CO2 reactor stand. Attaching two shelves for Trident and the hinted at Trident II on the plywood. Trident II for Nitrate and Phosphate. Just a rumor. Haha
Here’s the vented lid I had Printed Reef custom 3D print for my anemone bowl by Aqua Rocks Design. Keeps the anemone in the bowl until it anchors its foot then you can pop the lid off.Bought this magnet mount anemone holder for anemones to anchor their foot in. From Aqua Rocks Design. The glass bowl is removable. I plan to have a cage custom 3D printed for me of exact size as the bowl like in the last picture. Then glue a magnet to the outside to couple with another to hang an anemone in the bowl in the cage. The anemone will be trapped in the cage until it anchors it’s foot in the bowl. Then I can remove the bowl and hang it from the Aqua Rocks holder so the anemone can extend it’s tentacles.
Got a combo of things from this. Trident shelf / UV bracket / CO2 reactor.Hung a small sheet of plywood on the side of the UV / CO2 reactor stand. Attaching two shelves for Trident and the hinted at Trident II on the plywood. Trident II for Nitrate and Phosphate. Just a rumor. Haha
@dmy535 according to the 26+ page Klir review thread I received my unit before any of the company replacing parts or selling upgraded units. However I contacted Coralvue about having the inferior motor and they replaced it with the newest 11 rpm motor. This was a few months back. But after reading the review thread some more I realize I have the faulty cage / frame which causes the fleece to bind and tear. Now I have to buy a whole complete new unit. With this purchase I will have lots of extra parts including 3 motor mounting plates at my disposal. I would like to modify the Klir to be monitored and controlled by my Apex similar to what @PatReef did starting on page 6 of the review thread here:Were you able to get the KLIR to work? If so how?
@dmy535 to answer your question directly, I haven’t got it going yet. However another thing I plan on with this whole integration is making a very secure Apex optical sensor mount for water level in the sock chamber of the sump. See circle in first picture. Shows sensor mounted with magnet. I had Printed Reef 3D print for me a mounting bracket for the sensor. Then I’ll drill a little hole in the sump for a plastic screw to hold the bracket / sensor. This is so much secure than a magnet mount that can get bumped and the level is lost.Were you able to get the KLIR to work? If so how?
@Skibi yes a slow build at that! I had it going once but it crashed. Now to take my time until the move. And the extra stuff just kills more time. Thinking a lot about the mixing station and the rest of the DIY light system. Smaller projects include two IKEA cabinets, routing my dosing tubing, andBuild is coming along! Wow alot of stuff going on now like all the extra stuff you are putting on the tank! You think you will be getting it wet soon?
@Skibi Yeah nothing fast. Would love to see an update, glad you stuck with it! 18 Watt here. The brackets are spendy but worth it. Here's the link to the cabinets:I definitely understand going slow nothing great happens fast! Its been a while since I have updated my thread too after the battle with dinos i almost took my tank down. Good thing to get the UV sterilizer now that thing is amazing and hopefully you will never get dinos!! Pretty sure i got the same size you did and its been working flawlessly for year and half or more those brackets you got are awesome ima have to get some of them. Which Ikea cabinet are you using? Like how much more room its giving you and looks good on the side trying to find something like that for my tank.
@Skibi That's exactly why this thing isn't wet. Don't want to go through that kind of move plus have a lot of building to do on the system. Can you post a link to your thread?Ya it was rough we also moved so i had to load everything up in containers and set the tank back up that was a nightmare too so it looks a little different ima get some pictures and do an update hopefully tonight! Awesome thanks! going to look into that!
