markdadof2 Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hey Mark - the graphs show up for me as well... pretty darn slick! That pH spike is pretty dramatic, is that your lights kicking on? I can't remember if you run a reverse light cycle refg. or not. I have always heard that they help stabalize pH swings so it would be interesting to see if that would affect this. Nice thing about being able to capture/store this kind of data - you can actually do some experiments and not just guess at the results. Anyway... I'm jealous! The PH spike is because I don't have a refugium - so I can't run the 'fuge lights at night - My NEW tank has a refuguim so I hope it is a bit more stable than the 14 gallon cube I dose by hand in the morning (missed today) so that is why it climbs in the am. I should have the new tank back from Waves in a bit..then I'm ready to set up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 DOH! I unplugged my router at home last night for some troubleshooting and forgot to plug it back in...so the reef stats will be down until I can get home to plug the dang router back in!

You get us all riled up and then you cut us off! How am I supposed to entertain myself today now that I can't give you guff about your tank readings??? BTW - why did you tank the tank back in? Get some additional mods done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I supposed to entertain myself today now that I can't give you guff about your tank readings??? BTW - why did you tank the tank back in? Get some additional mods done? I was having issues with my cooling fan staying stuck on...even though the RKE said it was NOT on (wife) I emailed support last night about 9:30 and they got back to me at 10:36 last night! Great response time. The relay on the specific channel I was on can cause this if you are plugging in a device with what is called a 'poor power factor' - channel 2 and 3 are not mechanical relays...now that I have switched power ports all should be good. Oh, and I quickly unplugged the router cable as I think my daughter was laying in bed playing on her Apple I-touch instead of going to sleep (flame) ha ha. The only complaint I have gotten is that my sig is a bit big, so I will shrink it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The triac controlled ports on the Aquacontroller have the same problem; I learned about it when the Aqualifter on my ATO didn't shut off when the ACjr told it to. That sucked. I just added a small fan to the same plug to up the current draw -- maybe you could do something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Very interesting... I haven't noticed a problem on the Aquatronica controller I just set up and I do have one plug controlling nothing but a case fan via temperature. Makes me wonder though... I may have to take a closer look at that. It does sound like adding additional current load may be a way to solve the problem - if one has other devices that you might want to control on the same cycle that is. Thanks for the info guys!

markdadof2 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Interesting...since being home at lunch and plugging in the fan to one of the mechanical relays my temp has been rock solid at 78.1! some light reading on the subject from digital Aquatics: http://www.forum.digitalaquatics.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
