Waves hi to Giancarlo, waves hi to Phil!
Beautiful reef you had there but nice to see you back on this side. That controller is terrific. It may seem like overkill to some but I can't imaging dealing with a tank that big without some automation. Think of standing there with a hose and siphon for your weekly water change

The auto top off is my biggest envy (well, that and a house with a tank that big in it).
For scaping though, you totally need larger rocks, much larger rocks. You should throw a scaping party!
