First is this ok to do or do I need to start Copper right away or Have the...

    PSA - Got a sump? Wrap it up.

    Figured I'd share my findings with the class. I was astounded at how much my heaters were running all day and night, especially considering the amount of pumps and lights adding heat to the tank. Last night I decided to try an experiment that has already shown it's going to pay off quickly. I...

    Life Support - When the Power Goes Out and other Emergencies

    I've recently been doing a lot more research into power outages as I stock my tanks with expensive torches. With severe weather events and fires only increasing where I live, I think it's prudent to prepare for when the lights go out for extended periods or if I need to evacuate for a number of...

    New Reefbrite XHO quad power supply

    I'd like to think that I'm a fairly intelligent person. But either I don't have the right part or I'm not the baby Einstein I believe I am. Lol I cannot for the life of me figure out how to run these four lights down to one connection on the power supply. I have added pictures to show what I...

    Kessil light started flashing during ramp down. Help!

    Bought two Kessil A360WE lights brand new from BRS 3.5 years ago. Both lights are connected to the same controller in series. The light in the video has begun flashing like crazy during ramp down. The other works perfectly. Anyone experience this before? Possible solutions? TIA!

    Anybody able to share their DC power solutions for their equipment?

    95% of my devices run off DC power at a few common voltages. I've been thinking that I could get together a marine battery, some DC/DC power supplies, and power my pumps & powerheads off battery-backup backed DC power which will simply keep operating in the event of a power failure. IP67 DC/DC...

    AI Director, what issues I was having and how if Fixed it. No Power light.

    If you want the answer skip to the end. For most of you, the Sol, Hydra, Hydra 52 are lights you might never have heard of. Some of us still have them, and have a lot of money invested, so are trying to every last drop out of them, hint to AI maybe an upgrade path with a discount on new lights...

    Apex 832 not reporting Watts or Amps

    I'm new to this controller system but jumped in deep all at once on my new 375. Among other things I have 3 EB832's. All three work to power devices plugged into it and can be controlled. The only problem with one of the EB's is that it does not report Power or Current correctly. I have...

    Opinions on small ryobi propane generator for power outages

    So since I live in Florida now I’ve been thinking more about what to do in extended outages. I already have an Icecap battery backup, a battery powered rechargeable air pump, a 200 watt power inverter, and a 3500 watt portable generator. Obviously those should be enough for most situations. My...

    Power for multiple Neptune DOS... daisy chain?

    Do I have to use the included power adapter, or can I connect them directly to the EB832 with the 4 or 6 pin connector? Seems strange the DOS has 4pin connection (as does the EB832) but a cord isn't included. Anyway, I'm just looking to save space and free up as many outlets as I can. What...

    Pump won’t turn on after a power outage

    The power went out at my house during a storm, but was only out for 15-30 minutes. After the power came back, lights, pump, ect all came back on perfectly, but I notice one of my three circulation pumps didn’t turn back on. The pump that didn’t turn back on is plugged into a surge protector with...

    Cheap Wifi power controller

    Just wanted to share this product I found at Walmart, currently it's controlling my Christmas tree lights, but thought it could have some good uses in a reef tank. Using an app you can set up multiple units, multiple on off times a day, and control it from anywhere you have cell signal. It's...
