reefernanoman Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 "video is private" Oops. I forgot to click "publish". Thanks for the heads up. Can you see it now? Apex Jr.- I am totally jealous - what functions are you using? The following: VDM module to control my Meanwell drivers; controlling the times when my auto top off is on; controlling the return pumps for feed mode and maintenance; controlling the clip on cooling fan. That's about it for now. I still have an outlet free. No heater in my tank, since it's always between 80-81 degrees. Link to comment

reefernanoman Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Does the junior allow for any leak detection? Yes, but I think that you have to buy the device that sits underneath your tank or carpet and a module(not 100% sure). Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Since I have a MP10, I decided to buy the RF module to make it wireless(on its way) and picked up a used WXM module from a local reefer for $65 with the original box. So my Apex will be able to take control of my pump soon. I'm glad, since it's kind of a pain to be pressing the button on the MP10 controller for feed mode.The WXM module looks new: Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Mission complete. MP10 now wireless and already being controlled by my Apex Jr. It takes less than 5 minutes: Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 How's the tank doing? Any pic updates? Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 I caught my peppermint shrimp eating my yellow polyps this morning, last time it was a frog spawn head, so I captured him and he is being evicted! So what do I do with him now? I can't give him away because of his behavior. He was well fed too. Never again. Link to comment

I put mine in watched him for one night and he is gone- almost two weeks now Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 love the tank man Thanks! How's the tank doing? Any pic updates? It's doing pretty well. I bought a Tyree Idaho grape monty frag. Pictures tomorrow. And I think that my BTA is splitting. What did you end up doing with the peppermint? I put mine in watched him for one night and he is gone- almost two weeks now I gave him away to my friend that just got into reefing with a Fusion 20G Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Cool- ya the idaho grapes are nice corals and seem to do very well Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Update 01/15/2015: Added a Tyree Idaho Grape monti frag this past Sunday.It's weird because with the naked eye, I can't really tell any color other than brown, but the picture shows a little purple. I'm also removing my sand little by little with each water change. Tomorrow I'm changing over to Chemipure blue and will also replace the purigen bag. I'm planning to leave these two in there for three months instead of six like I usually do, since some people think that it's a better to use these items for only eight weeks tops. Do you guys think that going 12 weeks with the same carbon is pushing it? Heck I have been going for 24 weeks before all this time for years.

Dryland Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Nice tank! If you aren't having any nutrient problems with your current scheme of activated carbon use then I don't see any reason to change it. I like to switch out my carbon every two months. Link to comment

Yeah, I'll shoot for 3 months and go from there. I have to be cleaning the glass every day and most people say that it's a sign that your carbon is spent. Link to comment
