If you are waiting for a $125 alk probe, let me break the news to you, it's not going to happen.I hear they're going to be quite expensive. ($1,000+ at this complexity) I hope Neptune can simplify it, perhaps down to a single probe. Have fun T.
A little something I get to test...
Thank you for this information maby u can help us (me and @Willz ) on what cables u use to ramp the xhos up and down with ur apex thanks again for a great buildI am using the ReefBrite 14k twin arc 250W bulbs. They seem to be working great. I think the color is a bit more whit/yellow than other 14K I have used though. But that is just my eye - nothing scientific.
My tank is 32" deep and the bottom edge of the RB MH fixture is about 1" off the top edge of the glass or about 4" from the water when the canopy is closed.
My MH run 4.5 hours. I do not have them dimming up and down right now because the amount of dimming was minimal so I am using those variable channels for my LED for now.
The RB LED actinic strips run for 14 hours (7a-9p) but they ramp up from 0 to peak at 80% at 2PM and then down to 0 at 9p.
It was slow going down and slow going up. So, as of yet, I have not noticed any issues.Have you noticed any issues with the SPS from the Alk swing?
Reef Brite has a device they sell that the power supplies plug into and it has two Apex-Ready cables that come out and go to the jacks on your Apex or VDM. Check my past posts and you should see pics.

Yeah I have sent him an email and he hasn't gotten back to me yet I'm sure he is busy as he has always gotten back to me thanks again for the info now with this cable I should not have to use any outlets on the eb8 correct since it connect to the vdm?

So I made a mistake on my calcium reactor programming last week before the holiday weekend and did not realize it until monday. Basically my DOS was not pushing water through it for all those days so my Alk fell from 10 to 7. This was a perfect test for the Alkalinity monitor we are developing. I got the CRx back online and getting fed water again and then used the Alk monitor to watch the climb. I had a couple of prototype issues (to be expected) but for the last 24 hours or so it has been tracking the tanks dKH rise back to 9.5-10 pretty effectively.
It was slow going down and slow going up. So, as of yet, I have not noticed any issues.
