Okay I will have to wait and see I assume that it moves the power head side to side which is awesome I have seen several diy versions of these using sprinkler heads. Btw awesome buildMore info at a later date. Hopefully it comes to market the way I hope. Then I will have them in my tank for sure. Stay tuned.
Very impressive Terence. You mentioned this build in May while you were in Florida (SWFMAS). You were really excited about it and now I can see why. Glad to see the wonderful progress. Subscribed to keep track.
No worries. I just wanted to make sure you knew about our forum and the collective of Control Freaks there that knows far more than I do.Thanks Terence. Didn't mean to try and derail the thread. I appreciate the response though.
Thanks! Me too!Awesome set up! Looking forward to following your progress. I sure hope you don't have to move anytime soon.
Well I get one weekend between Utah and RAP so hopefully I can do the next two steps that weekend and start flowing water the weekend after RAP.You need to stay home for more than a couple of weeks and get this system rolling. If you weren't so popular , you might be able to. See you in a few days. LOL
Nick,
Two different devices. Two different types of use. The WAV and DOS are their own independent AquaBus devices with their own independent power sources. Both can be set to have a "fallback" state. That is, the mode they run in when they lose communication from the base unit. Now, with the WAV it is easy, you may just want them to go to 50% power on loss of communication. For the DOS, since it might be putting stuff into the tank - and maybe based on other feedback (like pH or a switch), you might set that one to fallback OFF.
Definitely when you have a lot of your tank controlled by an Apex it is a good idea to have a back up Apex "brain". If you do have a backup, it will take a call to support for you to make the switchover to keep all your programming. Since it is not financially feasible for everyone to have a spare, I often recommend the local club have one or two on hand just for this purpose - so the person can have their tank running fine until they get their Apex replaced or back from the factory.
This is a good question, and I don't mind answering it here, but I would encourage you go to the http://forum.neptunesystems.com for more input and advice from others on this matter as well.
I'll be happy to answer your questions, but being mindful that this is Terence's personal tank build thread, let's take it to a new thread in the Aquarium Controllers forum here, or better yet, on the Neptune Systems Community Forum, where I hang out much more than here.Hi Terence, having trouble finding more details about Apex backup options on the Neptune forum. I assume you mean having a second Apex but if you could direct me to a thread or elaborate here I would appreciate that. I am very interested in protecting my investment!!!
