Hydros Awc Method ?

[fltt]

What is the best way to do an Awc on 2 separate tanks. I do realize I would need to set up a collective. I have a 240g fowlr and a 75g reef, the 240g I already have a cntrl4 starter kit and an awc hooked up with high & low level sensors with a waste pump and refill pump. Should I continue that method to the reef or should use a dual head dosing unit? Pros and cons of both.

I used a dual head dosing pump for quite a while. With it you can either use a generic output setup with a schedule or use the simple dosing pump output and a schedule. The issue would be when one of the tubes around the roller splits. My ATO would catch that since I would get a maximum on time exceeded or a maximum off time exceeded alert. I temporarily switched it to the Hydros auto water change regimen to check for a way to pause the water change without halting the ATO also for another user. I was able to do that. With the built in water change regimen you have to use the ATO that is built into that regimen also since it stops the ATO during the water change. The ATO will remain halted until the fill pump fills back up to the full sensor which is also used for ATO. I posted screenshots of the AWC setup in my build thread on page 8.
