Welcome, glad you are here! Just a tip, you might want to put a little time in for planning your build.

Now the questions start pouring in.

I'm thinking about this

With a 75G from Petco currently $160 in the perpetual half off sale. Looking for a clean one used first tho.

Dude, you have stumbled on THE best value in a sump baffle kit right here! I seriously recommended this seller to anyone who will listen. I've had his 20 gallon kit, and I'm going to buy his 60 gallon kit too. I've had FijiCube's kit, and this is better. I've never owned JaxsRacks, but just look at what you get here from Marine Biosystems. If you have any questions, reach out to him through his eBay page, he's very responsive, very easy to work with.

The folks that make the parts to build the sump are finally back from vacation, so I got that ordered today. All the other parts are ready to install, but the sump placement is next before anything meaningful can happen to get water flowing.

So, working on cementing the marco rock and getting the supply room ready.

That spot was 2 hydroponics grow tents this morning. Got more to rip out tomorrow, then give those walls and floor a little TLC. Hard to see but the location of the sump is outlined in red sharpie on the wall.

With any luck I'll have the sump built by next weekend and water flowing soon after that.

Its starting to get real over here. I'll start a build thread once I have the sump parts.

Made a little progress. Still lots to do but having fun with the build out.

Sump from Marine Biosystems built and herbie ready to get wet.

And the space got a little spit shine too.

Installing the sink, power and RODI / RO tanks and Salt Mix tank next.

+1 for Marine Biosystems baffle systems

Welcome back to the hobby/addiction!
I am joining in for the ride!
You gonna try to run the reef on the Rasbery? I know the code is been written and available. I was curious about that but I don't know of anyone actually doing it.

I’d love to. I’ve been running pis on projects I built for years. First degree was electrical engineering and second in comp sci. Stuff like this is right up my alley. The planning to this point has been based on Robo tank.

That said- I can’t get a reply from Rob. I cannot get into the forum over there because it never sends the confirmation email. I get it I run a xenforo forum in another hobby and had to jump thru a bunch of hoops with dns and dkim to get my forum to not get my outgoing email traffic blocked. Pita. But without a way to communicate I’ve got serious reservations about taking the plunge. I’m concerned the product is in the twilight stage with no future support.

Hopefully I’m wrong and rob is just traveling or something.
