Going to tear this ramp down, pour myself some bourbon, and call it a day.

Wow, way too many buttons... lol.It's been awhile since I've updated anything with my build. Finally got off my behind and started the control panel this weekend.
The green switches are the primary on/off, while the red switches are 'on' overrides for anything with a float switch or timer.
I have some more learning to do with arduino before I move everything to a digital interface, bit this will work until then.
I also ordered another pump that will be dedicated to mixing saltwater. I'll have updates on that in a few days.
I'll lean toward closed circuit / non-cloud based systems anyday!Hardly a half-effort! Looks great. I' a big fan of the rocker switches, too. I'm about 1 month into my apex and I already dislike reaching for my phone all the time when I need to switch something off.
There's a few extra banks in there! Ya know... just in case I need to expandWow, way too many buttons... lol.
Even though it was over 4x over-engineered, it was definitely still nerve wracking!dang! scary looking pics!
Thank you, sir . Doing the best I can without having to make a ton of custom parts.Looks really clean. Nice attention to detail. Everything looks very exact or precise. Very impressive sir!
Thank you so much!You sir are the inspiration I need to clean up my cable management. Absolutely incredible build and a stellar build thread!
Thank you! All of the above accept soldered. The only thing I have to solder are the tiny solid neutral wires for the timers. After all the wiring is in, I'll add zip tie mounts and zip tie everything to keep it in place. I'll need to anyway since the door is on hinges.Wow! The wiring looks great! Is everything soldered, screwed down, crimped? Loving the holders regardless.
What do I want for Christmas?
PAR meter?
1/2 of a calcium reactor setup?
2 more MP40's?
A nicer doser instead of Jabeo?
Frag tank lights?
More than one way to go about this hobby, friend. All corals will be in QT for at least 72 days, so the frag/qt systems need to be equipped and sustainable. You just helped me put PAR meter and frag tank lights at the top of the list . Thank youSo many great options here. Which would be the most pressing in near future needs? My guess would be a better doser or more MP40's if flow is still an issue. Imho frag tank lights and a calcium reactor won't be needed until your coral load increases. Then again I am frequently wrong lol.
Glad I could help in a roundabout way!More than one way to go about this hobby, friend. All corals will be in QT for at least 72 days, so the frag/qt systems need to be equipped and sustainable. You just helped me put PAR meter and frag tank lights at the top of the list . Thank you

All those crimp connections are giving me anxiety lolJust two more common neutrals to run, then wiring to the junction boxes, and the wiring is complete! Calling it a day for today though.
