Yep! Can't take it with you. I would personally ditch the rain sensor, the rain sensor is only beneficial to the area that you have it in. With skydrop you put in what you have in each zone ( grass, plants, shrubs, etc) and what type of soil in each zone. The skydrop will than go off the local weather tower in your area and adjust watering based on the weather and how much water each area needs. It will also change times depending on humidity and best time to water.
Now if you need a rain sensor after all of that than I cant help you there
Who defines what simple is? My kids took the state math test today for ny (8th) and I was reading it out loud to them ( special education) and some of the questions were hard and very point less.
No worries.
That has to feel good have it filled and running. Relax, it is not going anywhere. I felt like my daughter was going to pull the tank down when I first set it up, but then I started thinking rationally.

Yea. It feels good. I had the same worries for about a week. Now comes the hard part...

I can get at lowes with 10% off..thanks...I'll prob pick one up this weekend..
Let's see...If you purchase that (299) that should bring us all square for the up sale that you did to me for the apex jr to full apex

Looking good! Please tell me that is day 21 after the cycle was complete
Nope my tank was cycled in 10 days, with live rock live sand macrobac and some ammonia. My not so LFS tested it each day and All my Lvls fluctuated. They said it was safe to put the fishes and the corals in.

Oh yea, there's several stores in my area (5 within a 30 mile radius)
Couple of them wanted to sell me, some of them wanted to sell me a bunch of things and some wasn't to pushy.

Since you are basically sticking a new light source over a new tank I'd go this route:
ramp deep blue slowly to 14-20k (your choice for growth) @ about 30% to start, then ramp down deep blue to moons. No more than an hour a day at 30% for the first week. Then you can start going up an hour each week. Once you hit your desired light time, then start bumping the power up the same way, a little each week.
If there is nothing in the tank yet, why bother? It'll just start an algae bloom..just run the blues for effect now...
I would also say that Biz's apex profile he shared a few pages back would help you set an end point pretty well. Mine is a G1 so it doesn't have all the same color channels..

Soon as water clears up and tank settles in a day or so fish will be moved from other tank along with all of the live rock and 2 filter sponges that have been in there for about a month.
And the rock that is currently in the tank has been cooking in a bucket for about a month while i added ammonia to it. Checked water chemistry before I moved it out of bucket and ammonia was 0. So all the rock going into the tank is gonna be completely cycled. As well as the Filter pads.

I would suggest you take 5 g out of that tank and put it in the new tank to seed more bacteria at the same time as the move.
then proceed with caution..
Start slow just like Reduck said. I slowly brought mine up to where it is now. Apex does not have an acclimation process, so you would have to manually do it. You really do not have to worry until coral is in and start on the bottom. Always ask the place you purchased the coral from what lights they are using and adjust from there.
I want to bring mine up even more. Are you going to be dosing with kalk or two part? Why I say that is if you have fast evaporation than I would suggest not using kalk.
