    What did you use to build the diagram in our video? That is awesome. Building a 180 now and would love to have something like that before I begin the plumbing and setup.

    Amazing. I can't wait to see all this equipment running. How big of a system are you going to be running?

    Are you taking PH reading with the PLC? If so what are you using for a transmitter? I am thinking of running my tank off of a Wago 750-880 I have laying around but I haven't found a cheap way to measure PH.

    Awesome tank dimensions! I have seen a few of Great Lakes Aquariums tanks. They do a good job. I really like them.
    What are you planning for livestock?
