2 mins read

My tank! Well this was a journey for me. I looked at alot of different solutions. ALOT. I asked for informed opinions, and I finally ended up to a single choice. Red sea reefer 750 or waterbox 220.6.

I suspect it worked for a second or two, but I was watching it out of the corner of my eye while I was trying to set up the ICV6- the wifi controller for these things.
