so lets get started

its time talk about the equipment

circulation 2* rw15 jebao
return pump jebao DCT 12000( will also feed chiller etc)
2*150 titanium thermostats
R/O 5 stage with DI

I have to choose controller and dosage pump because i will follow triton method

as i said the water will come from the sea( i live on an island)

I would go with an APEX if you can. I have a reefkeeper and it works well and all but I really really want an apex.

reef keeper is what i am looking for also profilux. i have not seen anyone using apex in Greece. not sure if we have distributor

is the circulation ok? i am interesting only in SPS?.
