Do you have a species of angel of interest ,as far as im aware the most commonly CB ones are the lemonpeel, coral beauty and flame angel, and argi, sometimes venusta and multibars too as far as dwarfs are concerned

@Angel_Anthias lover I really like the Coral Beauty as far a readily available CB angels go. I really like the Bicolor Angel but it's not offered often as CB AFAIK, and it's probably too big for my tank. I'm impartial to them as my high school colors are royal blue and gold.

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.

Wrote a product review for the wire loom and received a 10% discount for an online purchase. ignore the bracket. Whoa I gotta do more reviews !!!!

This is the screenshot of the hybrid lighting setup @coley650 has. She built it herself with Radions and T5's from iQuatics in the UK.

Here's my new Icecap Dual Gyres Pump Wi-Fi Controller. It's compatible with Apex and has a separate Icecap Wi-Fi App you can use with Apex together or separately if Apex goes down.

Looks cool, when are you getting the tank filled up, or is it already

It's dry. See post #183 in this thread. I have an update to this post. The renter of the Cottage ending up renewing his contract with his employer so he'll probably continue renting it. I'm working on my tank projects down at the farm shop and might get the tank running down there but I would much rather have it running where I'll be living. It's all up in the air right now and anyway in the mean time I have a lot of projects for this Reefer 250 before I get it wet. I have to:

Get all the modules and ballasts that didn't go in the electronics cabinet to go in the 250 cabinet
Build the DIY T5 / Radion hybrid lighting system all from scratch.
Plumb the 250.
Build the water change station all from scratch.
Build a lid for the 250.
Sell some excess reefing gear.

@Angel_Anthias lover good question. Mr SaltwaterTank has a 5 video YouTube playlist on what and
how to build a saltwater mixing station. Here's the first video:

powers2001 · Apr 10, 2020

He goes into more than just water mixing and hits on water changing setups.

Just pieced together this Apex annunciator alarm. Bought the alarm with lighting flasher, Apex 24v accessory cord, and had @HM3105 3D print the box. From there it was an easy assembly. The picture is a glimpse of the decibel rating with the Decibel X App.

Here’s my Eshopps SKIM BUDDY. Holds about 2/3 gallon of skimmate.

powers2001 · Apr 27, 2020

Working on another controller mounting board. This will go in the 250 cabinet sectioning off part of the chiller opening and divide the whole cabinet space. It’s a DIY from a Home Depot shelf board and corner brackets from Ace.
