Reef Angel Forum

Hello Everyone,
I am new to reefing and have been looking at getting a controller and would like to take advantage of the sales going on but I am a bit confused as to what I need to buy to do the things I need. Can someone help me with this?
I am pretty good at DIY so I am open to making things rather than buying but at the same time I would like a controller that once its set up it just works.
Here is a list of the equipment I currently have:
2 Ecotech Radions
2 Ecotech Vortechs MP10 (adding one more eventually)
Tunze Osmolator (should I sell this to fund my controller?)
Eheim Compact 3000
RLSS 6i with DC pump
80 Gallon reef ready tank
Custom acrylic sump (about 30 gallons) with built in ro/di Storage
250 watt heater (looking to add another one 250 watt also)
Eventually will add some fans
3 channel kamoer doser

I would like to be able to do top offs (being done presently by the osmolator), Temp Control with fans and Heaters, Control lights, vortechs, skimmer, and return pump. I would love to make my durso quieter also!

Can someone tell me anything else I could do with this controller that would make it easier to maintain my reef.

So what equipment do I need? and what do I need to make?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You would be good with the following

ReefAngel+
WiFi
RF module (for Radion and MP10)

The only thing you need to make is a bracket for the float switches. You may or may not want to keep the tunze, you could use the float switches on the RA as a backup to the tunze if you like, or as you said, use it to fund your new controller. You will be able to do what the tunze is doing plus so much more. There are a lot of modules you could add to enhance the controller as well (water level sensor, salinity, leak detector, etc.) but none are needed for what you've outlined.

Not sure if the kamoer doser is already purchased or was for future... but you could do the same with the ReefAngel with a lot more control (though how much depends on your coding experience). I have mine programmed with a calibration routine and a dosage by ml function, but that's a bit of an advanced topic... either way, the RA could be your doser as well. You'd still need quality dosing pumps (BRS 1.1ml/min are still on sale at $49.99 ea!!) and enough ports to control them. I find 2 plenty for dosing (although I just bought a 3rd because I didn't want to lose out on the sale price
