thanks. What kind of build are you planning?Following! Just caught up on everything and finding this thread inspiring for my future build!
if you remember, let me know. I did order the RS control board but there isn't room for wires behind. I'm going to add a "wall" on the wet side, so could mount the board I ordered on either side.Use the time to start reading up on Apex Fusion. It’s not a steep learning curve, but there are a few aspects that aren’t exactly straightforward and it does have a few “quirks”. I’m trying to remember the name of the equipment cabinet I went with, but it’s very slick and will fit nicely in the right side of your stand.
First, we are draining the waste water down the vent plumbing for the heating system and water heater. So it goes out thru the garage wall to a pipe my husband added. It was dumping the venting water to the plants alongside the garage. Now we'll add a hose fixture there and I can water the lawn or other plants by moving the hose every few hours. Figure I won't waste the water in Calif!Great stuff! Question as I’m planning my water station now. Are you planning your system to handle the drain water? I mean are you pumping water to a drain or will you manually carry it away? Also I saw they you on on using a smaller ato container instead of filling directly from your larger stations. Will the water be pumped from the larger stations to the smaller container or will you use a mechanical float, or both? Again thank you for sharing!
Adaptive Reef. Very lightweight with a ton of organization options. They make both a cabinet and a shelf. They have faceplates for both the DOS and Trident.if you remember, let me know.

I’m chicken I’m buying stuff but haven’t started a thread. I should be purchasing my tank next week then I’ll start one up!First, we are draining the waste water down the vent plumbing for the heating system and water heater.

I'm too chicken to hook up the ato to a 65 gal container! If anything fails, that would be a disaster! So the 10 gal (and maybe later a 20 gal) will have to be fed manually-in other words I have to add the water for the ATO and the Saltwater for the automatic water change. The old saltwater from the tank will go down the waste water from the washing machine.
Station is in garage. New tank in my office about 30-45 feet with curves. Going from garage into laundry room from a box the electrician put in (will have fire retardant stuffed inside after the tubes are put in. From laundry room, about 3' to the shared wall of L room and my office. So hubby going to drill hole, use pvc pipe for the tube to put tubing through. And then all 3 lines (2 for awc and 1 for ato) to and from tank. Hope that makes sense!
Do you have your tank yet? Or a build thread?
I'm trying to plug any thing I want to turn off into one eb32, and stuff that stays on all the time into the other. I'll have a few outlets left empty so far. Maybe. Still have 2 uv and a skimmer to add and a reactor and heaters. I got a couple switches that you can also turn off and it would shut down the eb32 but have to check the amp of the eb32 to be sure it isn't too much. Realize also I need to check the daisy chained bus cables to be sure they are powered by the correct power source. I'm assuming if power is off, the bus connections are also off. This is for an emergency shut down. I know there is programing for feed or cleaning modes.As with the gyres, if you’d like my complete Apex setup send me a PM and I’ll forward you my configuration and all the programming.
Wow that looks intimidating im looking at the hydros sustem but im closely following you because im curious as to the learning curve on your setup. YOU GOT THIS!!!Jumped in to learning apex. Managed to rename my plugs lols'. Just taking it 1 baby step at a time haha. Of course, kids
nowadays could probably figure this out faster...
