Brett,

Your build always keeps me in so much suspense. I definitely want to visit you if you'll let me one day when I'm in town. Everything is so "perfect" and I'm intrigued by your style and though in doing everything. Props to you man.

I'm always down for visitors...but I'd prefer to have some life in there so my wife doesn't laugh at us congregating around an empty glass box haha.

That's looking incredible man, been following it since the start, you sure have created a unique and stylish tank!

Going to be awsome once you get things going inside!

Cutos! to you

Thanks again guys! I'm really excited to have a living reef again you have no idea =) As silly as it sounds...having had one before it really leaves a hole in your life when it's gone.

I just went through this whole build, and it's amazing - everything in and under the DT looks so clean and organized. Hopefully my upgrade will come together as nicely.

When you get the Profilux and the doser, you won't regret it. The whole line of products is awesome

Thanks!

You might recall an old poll/thread I started about multiple/simple controllers vs one big fancy controller. I have changed my mind not to mention gotten a Tunze 7095 already so I've started down that route.

I'll be running a dual-stage Ranco courtesy of Chad here once my dear mother-in-law in Whiterock picks it up from him. Simple timers for my lights and then a stand-alone doser later on when my demands (and income) increase.

After I got over the fact that the Profilux would have looked so badass I was really happy to have convinced myself to go this route. Many people may think that's crazy I'm not sure!

The doser really is the only unknown now to me. Heaters will be whatever is cheapest as the Ranco assumes all control.

I've narrowed my search to the following:

- Grotech
- Litremeter III
- Profilux standalone
- Masterflex medical grade

I see pros and cons to all four. I'd get the Grotech if I could get one but you pretty much can't. Don't want to buy from overseas and then need help or support. I think the Profilux and Litremeter are close in quality but the Profilux is cheaper and cooler. The Masterflex is by far the most accurate based on my reading but there are so many different units etc that my head spins plus it's not a buy it and plug it in sort of thing.
