    Well, I knew this wasn't going to last long LOL. Yesterday, me & my wife headed to the hidden reef for the first time. I've been looking at the Innovative Marine 75g int online, so I wanted to see what IM tanks they had on display. I was amazed with the selection they had. As we first walked...

    Apex vs Hydros. Salinity & PH

    I believe 6ft total. However, I'm trying to locate where I read that info & I can't find it. Maybe I made that up I'll keep searching for it Edit: I think what I read was to only put 1 extension, doesn't matter the length.

    Amazon.com For the extension I think they said 6ft is the longest you can go before you will have issues

    Apex vs Hydros. Salinity & PH

    You can get extensions from Amazon to make it longer. Or do you mean for the conductivity of it, that being over water will mess it up?

    Apex vs Hydros. Salinity & PH

    I'm back into reefing after 10+ years, but i did have an APEX back then. However, can't tell you how APEX holds up today. Started my tank in August 2024 & bought a Hydros setup. I love the hydros, ironically today, the salinity probe is finally matching my milwaukee refractometer. It was always...

    The cable management was much nicer when I first set it up. I then went with the hydros system and gave up on fixing it all

    Been out of the hobby since 2013. I really can't believe it's been that long. Last summer I picked up an IM 30L & stand from a fellow NJ reefer. I picked up some other bits and pieces that summer & stopped. Fast forward to June 2024 & we bought our first house in Hillsborough where I can...
