So far new bulbs and reflectors. Once after putting the new bulbs two bulbs didn't want to kick on but eventually they did. So far no issues.

How do you like the apex jr. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick one up at some point. Between that and the reefkeeper lite

So far so good. I wish I would've gone with the lite just because now I have to buy a PM1 and probe so I can keep a eye on my ph. On the lite it's built into it. I'm also limited to 4 modulars. On the lite your not restricted on how many modulars you want to add.
That's about it. Other then that I'm very pleased with it.

Xavier, I also pick up the Jr. and for the same reasons I wish I went with the Lite as well. Other then that I'm happy with it too.

Well I ordered a eb8 , pm1 , breakout box and 3 float switches for my Apex Jr.

The float switches I'm gonna run two of them for my ato. So I'll be getting rid of my jbj ato.

The last float switch will be for my skimmer's collection container.

Thanks for the reviews guys, right now I'm slightly broke so basic timers will have to do at the moment. When I get the funding, I will probably just get a full apex I think. Eventually when I have my big tank ill need it so might as well.

Well yesterday my cycle has completed. I went out picked up a few damsels to so that I could have some life in their for a month. Just until I know that my water is really safe for my real fish.( I know this sound kinda cruel , but I don't want to get my real fish until I'm 100% sure it's safe for them)

Also received my EB8 and my PM1. Now waiting for my breakout box and my floats.

Everything has been going smoothly. I'm gonna test the water with a few corals that I'll be getting from Thatguy this weekend.

Or if you have any other suggestions for fish post them too
