    Thanks! It works well now but took about a week or so to calibrate right. Same with the ORP. That took about 3 weeks before I got decent readings.

    No really just need to set it and forget it. I calibrated the salinity probe but still had way off readings from the refractometer for first 2 weeks. Now its spot on

    Update!!! Okay so the build progresses five hours later and the sump room is tuned up!! Got the Calcium reactor hooked up and running. Got the Bio reactor hooked up and running. Got the Skimmer switched out and the SRO3000SSS is hooked up and SWEEEEEET! Got the Kalk stirrer hooked up to my ATO and moved the Barrel of RO water across the room so it is not right in front of the sump.

    Moved the Apex to a more user friendly space and have it running sweet!

    I will post up a new video once I move my drain line over and zip tie up all the apex wires.
