I have read around some about the mars dimming, I don't see any success of dimming to 0 smoothly, and there quite bright at the 10 or 15% they start at which to me isn't worth it as I'd want it to go to 0 to get a nice sunrise sunset

Good. I think i2c was not available when the error happened. raspi-config fixed that but reef-pi was not started. i2c is setup during device initialization, which is way early than reef-pi comes up. Anyway... just remember to use reef-pi config instead of hand editing /boot/config.txt, wherever you can since those params sometime changes from release to release. You have multiple i2c declarations in your config (not that they cause problem, but it gets confusing).
Not coming up? You mean reef-pi is not working ? like web page is not working? The log shows it started and temperature probe is already working..
reef-pi can support multiple temperature probe. but these reefkeeper probes wont work, you'll need ds18b20 probes. They are lot cheaper though,
No, it's fine now.
Dosing controller guide will be published soon, till then you can use this draft version. Make sure you have enabled pwm (explained in the very first guide).LOL. So much going on but so much useful info.
I just completed my Reef-pi brain box. With temp, ATO, power, and doser using the TB6612 motor driver. I used two DSUB connectors to run to the relay remote box and to my doser box. I still need to test the doser portion but am not sure how to configure the pwm outlets in reef-pi. I know it was posted somewhere in here how to set it up so I need to do some searching to find it.

Have you enabled the pwm kernel modules, here is the doc: https://learn.adafruit.com/reef-pi-installation-and-configuration/raspberry-pi-configurationI am finally getting started with reef-pi
I have been going thru the guides but I am getting an issue now when creating a jack.
I get the following error:
I can create the light on the test without error but the light is off and nothing happened with dimmer:
What am i doing wrong?
As you said, it may be different on the Mars Aqua, but the SB light would not work when I had a RC filter on the circuit, so it is running on straight 10V PWM right now.
I have had it with the stereo plugs! I had a 3rd one fail on me today. I dont know why these things are giving me such an issue but I have to fiddle with the plug, reboot, fiddle reboot, then it finally works and I dont dare move it. Two plugs no longer holds the male end tightly, one shorted internally, and the two I have mounted are so finicky I hate unplugging them unless I absolutely have to. I want something round because cutting square holes is a pain, otherwise I would do RJ11 or Molex. I am thinking about switching to Mini-DIN plugs If anyone has any other ideas I am all ears.
I used this style, male and female panel mount non solder plugs and haven't had any issues with them. https://www.amazon.com/LUTIONS-8inc...s=3.5+plug&dpPl=1&dpID=41MgumQRW+L&ref=plSrch . If that isn't what you want, there is nothing saying you can't use terminal strips like https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Sys...nal+strips&dpPl=1&dpID=41dWHWEBPfL&ref=plSrchI have had it with the stereo plugs!
