Started a nano tank

[Harry H]

The Jebao AK60 lights is now controlled by Amazon Alexa and TP-link smart plug. Monitored by dLink webcam.

Here is the smart home tech challenge. If I use Kessil lights (twice the price of AK60) and Spectra controller, which can control the intensity I am not sure if I can connect to Alexa voice control. So far I don’t know any nano tank controller that can be integrated with Alexa. Lol before you say why? Because the geek in me wants it!

Some thoughts:
1. I don’t need an Apex controller. That is an overkill for a Nano tank. I tried the Seneye but you need to use a PC or notebook. The Seneye webserver is again an overkill. A simple thermometer probe to remind me I have turned on the pump and it should connect to the web and send me warnings via the phone.
2. An Alexa powered phone controllable tank light without spending a fortune.
3. A bi direction pump that works with the osmolator. Pump out to change water and with a simple click, it reverses direction and pumps fresh water in. I know there are DIY solutions but why can’t it be off the shelf?
4. A customized tank stand that can hide my chiller and canister filter.

Happy reefing!

What are the pink and green corals both with tentacles? Plates or anemone? Thanks

Pink and green corals are plate corals. Easiest to take care apart from mushrooms. I have a small anemone at the bottom but can’t really see in photo.

Is $60 a piece of green plate reasonable? First time buying a plate. Thanks

It really depends on size and how healthy is the plate coral. Plus “I like it” factor. Sgd40-60. You can check them out at pacific reef (ah Beng). If a reefer sells you and free of diseases, then it is worth it.
