  2. Today I looked for any possible corrosion on all the connectors and rebooted the system again and change a few things including a brand new Ethernet cable, but things are still the same. The plugs turn off randomly as soon as I plug the Ethernet cable back in any v1/2 v3/4 slots. 

    It seems the issue is worse when the lights is starting to dim. 
     

    Any ideas of what to do? I could always just run the light as before but ... I like the dimming options, and I hate the idea that it doesn’t do what’s supposed to do.

    I personally have had ethernet cable/port issues, with hidden corrosion.  Apex suddenly wouldn't connect, or wouldn't connect after I disturbed the ethernet cable.   I was lucky enough to solve it by plugging in/out/in/out, pushing a little harder (not too hard), ....  Effectively slight tugs all over the place.

    I’ll definitely check for corrosion. It is very possible it might be the case as I haven’t used the Ethernet ports in a while. 

  4. Thank you for the quick feedback!

    I have rebooted the system a few times and that didn’t help. Just checked for duplicates and I didn’t find any. I couldn’t see any corrosion on anything but I will have to look again later today to make sure. I switch the light on v1/v2 and it doesn’t act any different. 
    Maybe the Ethernet cable I used is bad. I’ll replace it and and go from there.

    I have this blue led light over my led tank and I was just turning it on and off with my apex classic. I wanted to get fancy as I had my v3/v4 (variable speed) available and I connected it to be able to dim the lights for smooth on/off transitions. That’s done and it works, however when I plug in the Ethernet cable in the v3/v4 in my apex classic some outlets randomly and quickly turn off for less than second and than back on. I have two EB8 and I see that both strips are effected. (Hydra 32hds, skimmer, UV,  ATO Etc.) 

    Does anyone have an explanation and a solution? 

     

    The firmware is up to date on the apex classic. 

     

    On a side note: I am dosing with the BRS dosers controlled by the outlet 4 and 8. I have a float switch that is programmed to turn off the dosers when it is closed. I noticed when the doser is programmed to dose and the switch is closed (maintenance reasons) the dosers is going through a quick on/off cycle trying to dose despite it being programmed to be off when the switch is closed. Along with the doser turning on for a second the other outlets do the same. 

     

    I might have more issues that I am originally asking help for but maybe my explanation would help you understand the problem better. 

     

    Thanks in advance!
