What's next for your reef?

I started with Hydros and have had a great experience. Very user friendly and has everything I want. Like the robustness of the connectors and build quality.

What factors are making you want to go to Hydros from Neptune? I am sincerely asking, I don't have either, have considered both, and I don't really know which I would favor.

1). My neptune system works great.
2). People have reported tons of issues, and difficulty with support.
3). I have a hydros waveengine, with Gyre2k's attached, that I could not get feed mode to work at all, support was outstanding, a couple emails back and forth and the person I was working with asked if he could call - Issue resolved in 5 minutes, and got a lot of extra info after that.
4). They are active on this forum and help others here.
5). I'm very interested in reducing some of the power bricks I have, and it seems they can do that with some equipment.
6). I believe the build quality to be much better... Certainly my wave engine is solid... I can't speak to the rest.

Overall I just think its a more current, updated product. What's stopping me? I have an Apex, EB832, EB8, two DOS units, and an auto feeder. That's a big price tag to replace all.

I live in an RV full time and keep a 9 gallon reef.

My goal is to keep it alive.
It’s the best thing I can have in a vehicle but it’s hard to maintain it.

However, the return on investment (of time and money) is uncountable
