I really can’t comment on your choices because, other than my saltwater mixing Brute, I do not use titanium heaters. I use titanium in my mixing barrel because it gets tossed around.
I am a glass user for my system. I use two heaters that are controlled (reefkeeper)…..two because when one...
Just to clarify, the video is, I believe, Reefbreeder’s Photon series that comes with a programmable controller. The Photon 120W sells for 319….not bad.
They also sell a value light, which I believe is the same light, but with potentiometers to control the light. That 120W sells for 179.
The only things I’ve done are throw a very large Mexican turbo in to eat the hair algae and blast aptasia with boiling water. I'm not going to do anything with this tank until I've gathered all the equipment i want, and finish the new stand. However, the two MaxiMinis continue to color up...

Mike great to see that you're back. Sorry I missed you at Darren's. Would have liked to talk.
Cute dog.....don't let my wife see that little ball of fir.
Ventilating the Canopy (The saga continues)
The one rear vent wasn’t enough. So six more vents were added to the top of the canopy. At first four, but that wasn’t enough, so two more were added:
The way this was done was to first drill holes in the canopy top using a two inch hole...
Matt, very nice!
How did you get that glass finish on the stand? It looks like a lacquer finish.
I really like that hinged down board for the Vortex’s. I’m going to have to steal that idea. Really, once you set them, how often do you play with them……..never!
