Well done. re: apex gear, following along, I think I’ll likely buy a pack of everything and sell off what I end up not using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to buy a whole new system and peripherals of neptune gear as I gave away, sold, donated all I had in the last two years and don't want to just go willy nilly buying everything but know I will miss some awesome efficiencies and uses if I can't review how this stuff is used outside of the main components. Thank you! I run most of the main components (apex/trident/dos/wavs/extra eb832) and the breakout box, all of which i’ve been very happy with. I also have/had the AFS feeder, but wouldn’t really recommend it. LDK leak detection module has been on my list to add, just haven’t gotten around to it. There’s also the ATK topoff and COR pumps, I don’t have personal experience with them but they both seem to have reputation of having some issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i didn’t already have several brs 1.1s i would probably get an additional DOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkiboy May 7, 2022 Author Share May 7, 2022 (edited) Working on lighting… was hoping to fit four xr30 blue g5s per hanging fixture but looks like only three will work per fixture. this is one of two fixtures. will run the six radions and eight xho strips for now until corals demand more and will figure out something Edited May 7, 2022 by monkiboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJKK May 9, 2022 Share May 9, 2022 The Reef Brite XHO Hybrid looks interesting. Can you control color spectrum of each individual strip? For example, I have a Geismann hybrid fixture with 2 Blue Plus, 1 Coral Plus and 1 Purple Plus ATI bulbs. Can I replicate each of those bulb's spectrum with the Reef Brite XHO Hybrid? Or I will pretty much get equivalent of 4 Blue Plus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has been able to match their offering and the optics are simply amazing and why such a rather simple solution had been industry standard for many, i would argue for more in the aquaculture/business side than consumer level. you can compare spectrum graphs in a brs video a while back. i will post it up if I can find it. remember that the graphs are rations of light spectrum not more of this and none of that.

monkiboy May 9, 2022 Author Share May 9, 2022 was worried about the ext8000 being too much skimmer with the rollermat and not having enough to run or keep a foam head. spoke to royal xclusive folks spoke to CV industries spoke to reef octopus spoke to MRC who makes the roller (infinity) all seemed to agree I needed to go about 1/2 the size I would typically even with the system size and the large fish load I plan for for the skimmer to work well due to the mrc infinity pulling waste at real time before it breaks down is not going to leave much for the skimmer SO... i hadn't opened the 8000 yet and exchanged it for the 6000. at a loss of a few shipping dollars to ship the 8000 back, I now hopefully have a much better solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
