Don't some of those require refrigeration? Do you have a frig built in or just run from the jars at room temp?

No
No plans but money does talk. I don't think there's much out there that I want so starting this over again is not really in my plans.

The only products that requires refrigeration is the Reef Energy A and B. I thought about ways to auto dose those but I didn't follow through.

The original stand is in a landfill somewhere. I hired some one to build the stand. I don't know if he still has the plans. I can ask. My original plan was to have Reefsavy do the glass and the. Have the stand built. Their estimates was double the cost of the reefer 450 and the Reefer has a pretty nice sump.

Thanks. I actually took 3 weeks off of work. 1 week to move into the house and the rest of the time was spent on the tank. I think I have three full days in wiring. It was worth it. I own car stereo and accessory business so the clean wiring is the only way I know how to do things.

Thanks so much. That means a lot coming from you. Next up is a display refugium. My plan is a water fall in a shallow tank against the corner wall under the vase. The display will have a waterfall and mangroves and under the display will be a traditional refugium. I'll have the same style cabinet made. I have a PH issue that I haven't figured out how to fix. Do you think the refugium will help resolve it. The PH ranges from 7.7 to 7.9. It rarely reaches 8.

Very well done. I thought I did my Reefer 450 well, but this is classy.
One simple question that I can't seem to get an answer to. I'm going to switch mine to hard plumbing, but I don't know the exact PVC adapter to connect to the return pipe, being that it's metric. What did you use? I'll be using 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC up to that point.
