Reef Link questions

[Rich1987]

alright Reef geeks and gals. I have some Reef Link questions. I have mine set up on my Red Sea Reefer 750 tank.

On my Reef Link is both my MP40’s and my M1 vectra. Connected right up no problem.
My issue is with my MP 60... It was not a quiet drive pump so I did the controller upgrade to make a quiet drive. I have done many factory resets to the MP60 and moved the reef link al over the house closer and further away but no matter what this SOB won’t connect..... my MP60 I got used and it’s serial number on the box is from 2014.



Any help or further suggestions would be AMAZING!!! Thanks everyone

Use a Power Ethernet connection from your router to the reeflink. Many times the wifi signal in a home will cause issues. I had problems with my reeflink until I hooked it to my powerline Ethernet box for my TV cabinet.

That’s a good idea thanks! I do have it hooked up wirelessly but I will hook it in direct to see if that helps it find my MP60. Thanks! I’ll keep you posted

Well unfortunately that didn’t work. I even deleted my reef link account and removed all pumps and factory reset the Reef link itself. Nothing worked UGH!!!!

Any one got any other ideas?????

Are you sure the MP 60 has a properly working rf board?
Might try swap it one out of your other powerhead to see if that is the issue.

I would hope it does I literally just upgraded the pump from Es to quiet drive but that is definitely worth a shot! Thanks for the idea that’s something I didn’t even think could be an issue!! Will keep you posted

Reefwiser, just in case you were going to ask..... it also DIDNT work on reef link when it was “non quiet drive either. I’m going to try the RF chip too

 

[Rich1987]

Okay I switched boards/chips and still didnt work... just waiting to hear back from Echotech right now.... maybe they will want the pump back to see what’s wrong I don’t know.... I emailed them yesterday just waiting to hear back.

Hey thanks for all your help earlier today Reefwiser. I completely disconnected all my apex to the last wire and left it sit for an hour unplugged. Started all over from scratch again and it worked flawlessly!

Can’t thank you enough for helping out earlier today !!!

That is great. It is always something stupid. Having been a maintenance man for 45 years now it's always the simple things that cause bog problems

How about this then my apex has sent me this alert 2 times in the last 2 hours exactly on the hour... here is a picture of the alert and a picture of my coding...
Tell me what you think
