With kids, that power strip placement may not be the best.
Slight safety, especially if cords get wet.
But really - I can totally see them playing with the button that has an orange light.

It will live inside the locked cabinet soon enough.

Wow, what age group is this school? I would totally be excited if they had this at my child's school. Any of the parents reefers too?

Not yet... some kids may force their hands tho.

I just found out recently about 3 other dudes with reef tanks in my kid's elementary school. Lots of reefers out there....

Any updates @Coral reefer ?

I know the tank now has an awesome Jester Six rock display with lot's of rare encrusted corals on it.

I’ve added a yellow tang, coral beauty, and royal gramma several weeks ago. The other day Bruce donated two of his old rock structures with a bunch of encrusted coral patches. I had to pull apart the awuascale to fit them in. They are huge. One fit in my 27 gal tote just fine, but the big in was too big. Drove it from Walnut Creek to af with no water. Took 45 min. Most corals seem ok. Couple montis dont look too good, Cali tort had polyps out two days later. Need to install the lights this weekend hopefully and get a new pic up.

What lights are you planning on installing?

 

[Coral reefer]

I have a couple ai sol blue for now. Need to buy power supplies and find a controller tho.

I'll check for that extra controller I replaced the lcd...

 

[Coral reefer]

We have auto top off and soda ash dosing setup!
Went with autoaqua smart micro for ATO
And kamoer X1 for the dosing pump. Seems like a nice little product. Blue tooth configuration from your phone. It’s only one head, but it is only like $70 at aquatic collection, so still significantly cheaper than a bubble magus even if you need three heads. Exciting!
Should be getting the extra power supply I need for the AI SOL blue lights tomorrow. Unfortunately I can’t get the controller to communicate with the lights. Maybe the cord isn’t connecting to the controller properly. Guess I’ll have to open it up and take a peak. This is one that Mario replaced the lcd screen on, and that works great. Thanks @xcaret

Yeah really intrigued with those Kamoer dosers, heck I remember the off brand dosing pumps cost in that same price range.

 

[Coral reefer]

Setup was pretty quick and easy. Comes with a 10ml cylinder and has an auto calibrate feature. Seems cool so far

How big is the tubing for those dosers? Having a problem with my aqualifter that I use to dose RO/DI water to my kalk reactor, the tubing needs to be RO line tubing to fit into the kalk reactor, unfortunately as I found out last night, it popped off the Aqualifter pretty easily when I was refilling, mostly because the Aqualifter doesn't have a barb on the output it holds on with friction which only works as long as the tubing end remains elastic.

 

[Coral reefer]

Seems almost exactly the same as airline tubing, but not quite.

 

[sfsuphysics]

Smaller or larger? Or same size just different material?

 

[Coral reefer]

Slightly smaller

 

[sfsuphysics]

Damn, that might be problematic then. Oh well I'll give it a shot and find out.

There are some reducers in case the line is loose; one end is bigger diameter.
I was clearing some old stuff and found one little coupler; I’ll check if it fits RO line and air-line tubing.
