Thought I'd share my solar set up for my reef tank. It was originally a DIY back-up for 2x MP40s and a Vectra S2.
Since the trickle charger stopped working I started playing with small 100w solar panels to charge the battery.
I've now expanded the solar and battery storage to 900w / 440ah. It now powers all my lighting, heating and flow*.
*I do have an apex running on mains with an icecap gyre on constant and a back up heater and cooling fan.
