Up and running (sort of)

[angus34081]

On day 3 of my waterbox 20 reef tank. Already hitting stumbling blocks but I’m pushing through. I went with Apex El and Apex ATK.
Day 1 set up went good. Everything but lights (radions, more on that later) were working and recording data. ATK was registering and made sure pmup worked. Added Dr Tim’s fishless cycle concoction.
Day 2 started well, then While at work I got error message ATK. Went home and pmup is not working. Sensors are registering but not water being pumped. Still working with Neptune customer service.
Day 3 no error messages so far.

As for the light, it kept popping the circuit on both the apex energy bar and when plugged into same outlet as apex. For now it’s on an extension cord to a different circuit and working fine.

Looking good! What's next in your plan? How long are you planning on cycling?

Apex atk is back working! They suggested plugging the ffm into the wall outlet instead of the power bar.
I’m taking the cycle slow and following Dr Tim’s guidelines so hoping to be cycle within two weeks.
My set up is-
20 gal waterbox
Apex el
Apex atk
10lbs live rock
20 lbs Carib-sea sand
Radion xr30 gen 1
Jebao DCW 2000 return pump
Eflux wave pump
And the upgrade media basket
