Hello Reefers!
I have been lurking on your site for a couple years. It's been an amazing resource! I finally created an account when I wanted to purchase a @Turbo's Aquatics algae scrubber I saw for sale in the classifieds. Big thank you to @fishybizzness for working with me on that.
It's been a while since I had my last aquarium. I used to work at a LFS during college, and later in grad school had a temperate reef aquarium. In fact, 20 years ago I had an acrylic tank made specifically for a coldwater setup. Basically, just a small cube with 1/2" acrylic. And that tank stood dry...for 20 years. I work at a place that has many aquariums and I just wasn't interested in coming home to another one to maintain. What got me stoked on aquariums again was a colleague that designed a tide pool simulator using an Arduino board to control. That was probably six years ago. Since then I have been very slowly designing my aquarium and aquarium controller based on a Particle Photon, similar to an Arduino. Now that I have my controller and aquarium to a point where I can put life in it, I figured it was time to introduce myself.
Thanks for all the info and support I have already received!
