Hey Matt.

Many thanks for all of your continued interest in my set-up.
NASA, your right don’t have anything on me!
My system is an automated set-up as far as day to day is concerned however some of the equipment is not fully automatic because this leaves too much room for something to go wrong. I have looked into float valves/sensors for the RO top-up reservoir and the water change tank but if they got stuck on/off this could lead to an overflow/under top-off. To stop this I would have to employ two (or three) float valves/sensors for each vessel. Some might also think 3 pumps for the returns and equipment is overkill. However in one pump goes/breaks/blows there are two others backing it up, same with the overflows. If one is to get blocked then the other is more than capable that supporting the whole load.
The Girlfriend (Fiancée as she is now) is good really. Sometimes she gets a bit annoyed when I come in and check the tank before saying hello to her, but on the whole she good. Does care for the fish like pets more than I would like because I cannot swap sell livestock as I would like.
The updates should be coming soon. A lot of the equipment is set-up however it’s not fully on line. The De-nitrater is still maturing. The Calcium reactor is plumbed in however I need to flush it through then set up the controller for it. The water change tank is all running however the Fuge tank needs tweaking, still a lot of cyno build-up properly because of the low Ca and Alk. The sump in general needs sorting: The temperature controller needs the mod doing on it and moving into the tower. The auto top-off pump need moving into the tower, then I can sort out all the wire for which I have some conduit ready.

Not only does your stuff look better than what NASA puts up there, your aquarium does not pepper the atmosphere with billions in mistakes

A small update as I spent the night trying to sort the sump out.
the mess
Canapy "struts"
Fuge growing
Water change ready
Calcium reactor up and running
New return in place
Using a OR3500 as a return and the ehime1060 as a fuge and equipment supply.
Humidity and temp in the hood.
pH of the tank water
pH controller for the calcium reactor, still have to get that compleatley setup
New digi timers for the lights
new layout for the sump
The tower
FTS.

I'm afraid your tank may end up devolping intelligence and be the end of humanity.

I think you could well be right. You could almost expect a severed head in that tank with electrodes attached looking at the amount of stuff thats running it. Or maybe Ive just being watching too much Sci Fi...

Many thanks for everyone support and help through my time with this hobby however the time has come where my child and job are takeing to much time to be able to take care of a full reef tank. This setup will be sold and a 40 gallon tropical tank put in its place. My passion for the hobby has not died and I will be back but not for some time.
It's been fun..............
See you on the other side.........................................................
