Hi, my kids convinced me to restart my ancient nano tank and got me a biocube 32. After a couple of months of this, I decided to go slightly bigger with a Red Sea reefer 250 v3 deluxe. Things have changed a lot since I left the hobby decades ago. Tremendous improvement and I no longer have to play chemist and can enjoy my tank . The lights are the AI hydra 26s, adding MP40x2 and motor will be Vectra S1. Not sure if skimmer- thinking Reef Octopus S-130 if it fits..... using nano tunze and custom ATO. Really enjoy Pelphrey’s advice :). Ordered a custom acrylic and mesh cover, hopefully will be here soon. Was told the tank is shipping next week, so hopefully will have pictures soon. Have an external board for my equipment monitors including APEX FMK etc.... not sure how all this will turn out, but at least this is fun :).
Welcome
 
New tank arrived from Red Sea at fish store. Buildout is in progress :) will hopefully take delivery soon. Also picked up a Reef Octopus S-130 skimmer for my setup. Will be running my Ecotech MP40s and Vectra S1 via a reeflink for now. Also have an Apex EL for tank monitoring. And have my hydra 26s from AI- so three iOS phone apps. Will eventually see if I want to have them all on Apex, but prefer to see how reliable my system will be for now. Redundant battery backups also going Into the build because weather :).....
 
Started a tank thread to document my journey- or at least try :)
