Can't fall asleep because it's too early west coast time, but I'll be hurting int he morning when I get up because it will be East coast time. East Coast = Do Not Want!

Booked on American for 7:00 pm CST departure Flight delayed until 8:10 pm CST Flight delayed until 8:40 pm CST Fly to DC Arrive just after 11:00 pm EST (14 hours after leaving Portland... luckily baggage made it) Get to hotel around midnight proceed to answer emails Climb in bed around 2 am EST Wake Up at 6 am EST/ 3 am PST (4 hours of sleep) Struggle to stay awake during meetings. I HATE EAST COAST TRAVEL! I fly back to Portland tomorrow (i'm hoping the return flight isn't a fiasco!), and then up to anchorage on Tuesday. Fly to fairbanks on wednesday, fly back to anchorage on Wednesday Fly to Juneau on Thursday Fly back to Portland on Friday. Drive to Pasco on Monday Drive to Yakima on Tuesday Drive to Wenatchee on Wednesday Drive Back to Portland on Wednesday This month is going to be the death of me!

Danik Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Too bad you can't just call in sick. Yep your schedule is messed up. Who is going to feed your fish when you travel? I got a good Neibor to do that, twise a day too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I'm normally not gone so much at a time. The fishies usually have to scrounge for a few days until I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I am sure all will be fine. Do you have ATO or something? Any controller you can view while travelling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 bought the Tunze Osmolator ATO. No controller yet. Recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Are you looking for a controller that will do everything? If so I have The Reefkeeper Elite with NET module and love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I really don't know. I'm not expecting the temp to get to high as I have HQI tanks with lids that don't get above 80 at the hottest w/ the AC running. I already have a coral life timer to time the lights. What else would the controller be good for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marrk do you find that your controller PH reads on the low side?. Have you checked it against anything else. When I got mine I was shocked that my PH was so low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danik Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 bought the Tunze Osmolator ATO. No controller yet. Recommendations? If you have a iPhone, go only with aquacontroller 3. That's what I use my self. I can view all my stats and grafts, change the program, control manually, run backups, all of that is done from my iPhone. Pretty much the best set up you can get. It's not pink either!!(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got mine I was shocked that my PH was so low I think my controller is reading about .1 - .2 low, which is not too bad. My ph hovers right around 8 most of the day (as long as I suppliment in the morning) and my test kits say it is just above that normally. I did just calibrate the probe finally I wonder if the stock ph probe from DA is not extremely accurate? How low does yours read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else would the controller be good for? A number of things...you can check from the web and (eventually) control from the web (Digital Aquatics is working on the control software which will be offered for free). IF you do overheat, it will start shutting down lights and email you alerts. If your heater ever gets stuck on, a controller will shut it down so you don't cook your tank. If you ever decide to control a Ca reactor then you would do so with the controller. Auto top off? Yep, the controller can do that as well. Wavemaker? yep. control moon lights to follow the lunar cycle? Yep. Multiple timers for various items? yep. ****** Give you a piece of mind? OH YEAH! ******* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 FYI I'm pulling another all nighter for this flight home (it's already 2:22 in DC). I'm going to be dead to the world today (sunday) A controller sounds like a good deal. I was waffling on getting one or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did just calibrate the probe finally I wonder if the stock ph probe from DA is not extremely accurate? How low does yours read? After doing some reading, I found that PH probes when new and first calibrated should begin with an Offset about 0.00. I can see the Offset and Slope in my config tabs. When I started I kept tabs on all the #'s and recorded that the stock probes when calibrated started out at 0.21-0.35 which would give a lower PH reading over time and should be replaced when the Offset goes over say 0.50-0.60. If I manually reset the Offset to a lower # the PH value woud be higher. I recently replaced my probe with a "lab" grade probe and for the first time when calibrated the Offset was 0.02!! and my PH has been reading from 8.2-8.3 yay!. the probe I tossed I calibrated at the same time and the Offset was 0.76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
