If you grab one of the 0-10v cables from neptune you can run your tunze pumps off the controller. It gives you a lot more control than the standard tunze controller and its like $20. It will also give you a little more room in the cabinet. Looking good by the way.

I only have the one pump and thats the nano wave box, i didn't realise that you could do that, I have been searching for a while and haven't come up with much, ill have to look into it. Do you know if you can out the tunze ATO in the neptune as well?

That is the most advanced controller you can buy. If you really wanted you could run your home alarm system off of it lol. You need to buy a break out box..they retail for about 35 bucks and it controls all sorts of relay switches. Basically anything that has an open or closed state. You could put a sensor on the cupboard door that sent you an email if anyone opened it. pm me your email and I will send you a user guide for it.

They are pretty amazing what you can do. Oh and yes it will run your ATO. Tunze's is a pretty solid one though.

So i got a bunch of stuff done last night, and there is a lot more to come today and the next day. I got the rest of my electronics mounted and ready to be wired up, my apex is online now and waiting to be programmed



I also got my probes plumbed into my return line on the downside that will feed my fuge, i also finished that line as well too. believe it or not getting them to fit took me close to an hour and a half!!





today ill be finishing the baffling in the sump and then wiring the cabinet with a GFCI plug to run everything!!
