So I set up the apex a last week and it has been working flawlessly as I would hope up until now.

Yesterday when I got home the reef brite led was off. I didn't turn on at it's scheduled time even though it was set to "auto". So I turned it on manually. Then set it back to "auto".

Then when it was at it's scheduled time to shut off it didn't turn off till 20ish minutes past it's time.

Any help would be appreciated. I attached pictures of my system so you guys could tell me what I am doing wrong

I wouldn't worry about temp with the led. That could be affecting your program. Simply set a time and that should be good enough.

I agree! I didn't see a tab to disable the temp probe so I just moved the shut off temperature to a higher degree.

Can you change the "Control Type" to "Advanced" and post a snapshot of the code it shows? This might give us a better idea of exactly what the program is doing.

Using the simple programming mode of Fusion/Dashboard, I don't see anything wrong unless your tank is reporting over 82 degrees (which over ride and shut them off). So either your tank is really warm, or your temp probe is off. Simple override is raising the temp shutdown value.

If it was a temp probe issue, the lights would have still shut down at 21:30, not 20ish minutes past 21:30.

I would also like to see the advanced code. Also, is it possible your cable became partway unplugged from the light to Apex?
