    Controller?

    I ended up ordering the Apex Jr. and the pH probe. I'm not planning on an upgrade anytime soon so I hope I'm happy with my purchase. Thanks for all the advice guys!

    Controller?

    $300 is the budget, I could squeeze out $350 at best. Do I need the display screen? I was thinking about this http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/NEP-APEXJR.html http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/NEP-PRBH.html

    Upflow Algae Scrubber

    The screen is a bit submerged. Splashing is minimal. I get some salt creep but nothing crazy.

    Controller?

    I got the green light from the wife on a controller. I have a $300 something limit. I'd like to control my 2 heaters and my lights(2 plugs). I'd also like to monitor temp and pH. Email or text notification is a must. I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff. Any suggestions?

    Skimmer not skimming?

    Makes perfect sense. I went from an HOB to this. I assumed the new skimmer would be "filling the gap", just didn't think it would take this long. As with anything in this hobby, I'll be patient. Thanks all.

    Skimmer not skimming?

    The bubbles in my neck are large and popping. I am still getting skimmate but it's wetter than I'd like. If I shut the gate anymore I think I'll overflow the cup...I guess I'll leave it for now and see if it "breaks in" any better?

    Upflow Algae Scrubber

    This is what my sump looks like. I have an MJ1200 I'm using to power it. I was using the pump for my carbon and gfo. I ended up stopping gfo and buying an mj600 to run the carbon. In hindsight the mj1200 is too much for my design, I have the ball valve more than half closed on the...

    Upflow Algae Scrubber

    The scrubber doesn't take up much room at all. I'll get a couple pics up when I get home. The lighting takes up the most space. Mine has only been up a little longer than two months. I harvest a decent amount of algae weekly. My NO3 went from 25ppm to around 5ppm(Salifert). I don't test for PO4...
