It's been a while before I updated here, so I figured I'd take this chance.
I got a new job, so this little tank came home for a few little updates. The control system that I built about 10 years ago had started to fail, the analog inputs weren't reading properly anymore so I couldn't get feedback from the system status anymore. This obviously killed the topoff system, but other things were affected as well. I thought about fixing it, but I have an old Apex Classic I'm not using for anything else. The NIC is failing, but it still has some life left in it. I removed the old hinged side and mounted the apex to a board connected to a panel that recessed into the side. I think it's a nicer look.
I also 3d printed a nice little holder for the Apex Display that replaced the old 4 line display. Again stainless steel button head screws finish off the look. I also 3d printed a shade for the light to keep it from shining in my eyes.
The EB8 that controls the devices is mounted to the back:
And the temp sensor, heater, topoff float switch, and return are nicely tucked under the fan panel on the top:
The tank inside got a little upgrade as well. I'm sticking with the candycane that did so well in here, the zoas, and chalice, but the green mushrooms were growing out of control. I've removed them, and added a Policipora and a hammer frag I had.
Now it's almost ready to head into the new job! The Sexy shrimp is doing good as well, but it's afraid of cameras.
