Unclesalty's 180 Gallon Tank Build Thread

[unclesalty]

Coming soon will be Unclesaltys 180 gallon tank build. Just waiting for a few more items to arrive and deciding on an overflow system but I am almost positive its going to be the bean animal as its super quiet which is going to be a priority for this tank with quiet high end equipment.

[unclesalty]

So far my equipment list is going to consist of:
4 Ecotech Radions
Bubble King Supermarine 200
ATB Flowstar 1800
2 mp40's and possibly adding a 3rd down the road.
Controller -I haven't decided on yet

For controller I was originally going to go with a Profilux but have been reading about a new controller and by the sounds of it the Profilux will be moved down in the pecking order after its release. I am definately going to wait and see the details!

are you thinking about the vertex?

If you are thinking vertex...it was awesome to play with at MACNA. Now if they price it within reason.

I will have to find article again and reread it. It never mentioned the name "Vertex" but maybe it was just Vertex's model name?

I love me some build threads with high end equipments :-D

[unclesalty]

How was the Vertex in comparison to the Profilux? Never owned any type of controller yet myself here. Everyone seems to say controllers are "must haves"

If they are must haves, I would have one. Many people think smart phones are must haves. Controllers are pretty nifty though - especially if you take advantage of all the equipment that work in conjunction. Controllers that work in conjunction with smart phones are nifty x2.

I have to say I love my controller. Makes life a lot easier ( for me at least ) Every piece of equipment I have is tied into mine.

My next project is to tie in a 12v remote trigger from my home theater. Press BluRay and my lights shut down, 2 of my three pumps shut down, wavebox shuts down. It will all come back up on it's own once I shut the amp down again..

Pretty neat toys if you take full advantage of them.
