I think that you should still install a monitoring system as it will save you trouble down the road you can work out the kinks early before you put livestock in. I would suggest just using the monitoring system for your lights, return pump and heaters right now then add equipment as your tank moves towards stability.

I highly considered the monitoring system, I hate they all run on a pc based systems. Having a tank 7 years the tank was great when I dedicated the time.nownim back to feeling the love for the work load. I just returned from 17 days in Europe and had my young neighbor (who knows nothing about tanks) feed and change filter socks and it ran perfect with levels stable. I’m sticking with the KISS method dosing only carbon, KH and CA running regular tests weekly.

Moved over the winter and started with a brand new 6’ foot, same tank as my previous system. I mainly ditched the old system due to a long battle of bryopsi in my overflows which is now gone.

My sump is now in the basement, what a difference in sound and smell. Currently moving towards a stocked tank with zoas and acans.

This weekend we installed a trigger systems sapphire 34, been working on dial it in, had some serious gurgling issues. Next up will be our 60 gallon frag tank in the basement which will be tied into the main display system.

Thanks Shao I work in construction for sure. More on the artist side of the industry. Wanted a really different fish tank display than a massive stand. The live edge matches the bar directly across from the tank.
