8pixel's 39G Rimless

[8pixel]

This tank was started a little over a year ago. I'm keeping the details brief but if you have any questions about anything, just ask. It is a 39G rimless from CADLights with a small in-cabinet sump and tiny refugium. For those of you who don't know the story about my Cadlights nightmare, I will be posting full details as it will forever be a thorn in my side. The lights are the Ecoxotic Panorama fixture with additional 453 blue and blue/magenta Stunner strips and an EcoPico LED strip for moonlighting. There is a cover on the tank that I made with 1/4" acrylic and black mesh screen. Everything is controlled with an APEX Jr including auto top off float switches and a water sensor under the tank. The electronics, supplies and water reservoir are housed in a cabinet that I made.

I like how your apex is organized. I wish my reefkeeper was that organized.

Awesome video!

I see you use a BRS 1.1 mL doser. How often do you dose? I can't decide between getting two BRS's or a Bubble Magus 3-way.

Thank you! I chose the two BRS dosers mainly because it was less expensive and I didn't need the third. I slowly dose ALK and CA daily for around a minute each hour.....18 hrs for ALK, 22 hrs for CA.
