Hey everyone! I was starting to put together a plan for my future automation system. I still haven't decided on Hydros vs Apex and probably won't until I see what happens with the Maven. This is what I've come up with so far for configurations that meet my desired features. For simplicity I've gone either all Hydros/Apex, but I realize that some things (like ATO) could be done without kits (I likely wouldn't use the Apex ATO Kit in actuality).

I was hoping y'all could poke holes in this and tell me what I'm missing or if there are other configurations I should consider (and why). Appreciate it!

Edit: I should point out this is for a 75g mixed reef build.

I’m curious as well, just started looking into these systems. Came across the maven as well. Not sure what’s going on with that yet.
