Hi Peter. Your tank is one that inspired my 320 SPS build and I appreciate your contributions and videos. I am glad that you are moving into the Apex. I have quite a complex set up and it has been solid for several years. I work as a System Engineer for a global company so please let me know if you need any help with the set-up. You can view my graphs, configuration and source code realtime@ http://www.reeftronics.net/tdb/apex-status. There are several best practices like the utilization of virtual ports and naming conventions.
On the AEFW note there is a new product that claims to get the AEFW eggs. Reefers locally are testing it. It is called RPS ALL OUT Dip and apparently has some type of aloe Vera composition that penetrates the membrane of the eggs killing the FW fetus. I don't think AEFW will destroy your SPS as I have read that the corals eventually build up and immunity but eradicating them will be a challenge. Perhaps you can get frags of all of your colonies once the SPS quarantine system is in place.
Best Regards, Tom
Thank you very much Tom. Your link is very helpful and welcome. My experience so far is substantially more positive than the GHL Profilux. Everything works as advertised and the learning curve is significantly less steep. I have focused on the two new tanks and everything appears to be working well. We are going to set up a day to do a complete calibration of the system to raise our confidence in the numbers. I am probably going to dump the GHL Profilux equipment and replace it with the Apex on the main display tank now that I have so much more access and confidence in the system.
Interesting comments on the AEFW. Thank you for that. I will keep and eye out and discuss with Mr. Wilson how we might use this information in our quarantine procedures.
Thanks for dropping by Tom...........
Peter
