Hello,

I am trying to get corals to spawn using the APEX and I have changed the seasonal tables recently. Everything but the temperature seems to be out of range. I currently have two submersible heaters and a chiller unit with the system. The system is also located indoors with aircon running 24/7. The reason the chiller has a larger range is because I am assuming the chiller and aircon are fighting with the heaters to maintain the temperature however, I may be wrong. his is my code:

heater:
Fallback OFF
If Tmp < RT+-0.3 Then ON
If Tmp > RT+0.2 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF

chiller:
Fallback OFF
If Tmp > RT+0.4 Then ON
If Tmp < RT+-0.1 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF

For November, my target value should be at 28 degrees celsius and the temperature is still in the low 27's (27.6 at highest). I am not too sure what I am doing wrong or if there is an issue with my code. I can't seem to find much references in regards to coral spawning besides the paper written by Jamie Craggs and Rich Ross's spawning tutorial. If anyone has any suggestions or may know the issue, your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your time and Happy Holidays!

Not sure if you ever solved your issue but from using seasonal tables my self. A change to the table never took effect for me unless I rebooted the apex after. Also your number appears to working. Your average was showing 27.6 which is between your nov setting of 28 and December 27.3. Have to remember that the setting won’t match to the number you assign to unless you are on the 1st. It moves throughout the month. So between 28 and 27.3 is 0.7 worth of temp. That’s mean each day roughly 0.7 /30 worth of temp is being subtracted off your set starting value of 28 till it walks it way to 27.3 throughout the month of November
