Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve recently finished working on a project that might interest other reefers — it’s called the Marine Assistant Mini! 🐠
It’s a DIY add-on controller for reef tanks that gives you extra control over equipment and sensors. It’s got:
⚡ 2 switchable 12V outlets
🌡️ 2 temperature sensor inputs
💧 Float and leak sensor support
🔌 Expansion ports for future add-ons
It’s designed to be easy to build, with guides and videos to help you along the way. Home assistant is used and required.

Would love to hear what you think — always open to feedback or ideas for future modules!
Custom control box is officially online.
Here’s how to add a widget to Home Screen.
1. Long hold on your Home Screen
2. Click ‘Edit’ top left
3. Add Widget
4. Search ReefBay
After a long day finally complete my controller board for my apex 😍 just love how looks like what you think guys ?
🔔 Task Reminders Update
I just rolled out some useful improvements to Task Reminders to help make maintenance easier to stay on top of.
What’s new:
Set individual reminder times per task Previously it was a 7am reminder which I realized isn’t very useful…
Overdue tasks show how many days past due Miss a day or two and the task stays visible.
New task stats View insights like average completions per month and your most productive day
The goal is to make Maintenance Reminders actually useful and help you stay consistent.
👉 Check out the upgraded Tasks Tab and let me know what you think.

I'd like to share a project I've been working on for the past 6 months...
It's a diy autofeeder that works with home assistant! Purchase a kit, print the parts and build one yourself. It's designed to be as user friendly and easy to complete and use as possible.

After going through ups and downs and losing over 2k+ in corals I got a Reefbot for $100 dollars with a broken solenoid l. I bought an equivalent one on Amazon and it work and my tank is now awesome and stable.
My custom reef controller...
Working on the DIY reef controller this evening...
