May I ask what this means? What kind of auto top off?ATO blinking red on the webcam, needing reset
Definitely not a good feeling.

Need redundancy. Especially with Apex.
unsettling... no question but i'd take a blinking red light over a full view of white acropora on that same webcam. hope it all works out
I recommend a line in your ato code that will shut off your ato if salinity drops too far (provided your ato is in the sump). What this does is if
my ato stays on to the point salinity goes below 34.0, it shuts off. I also have code in my return pump that will shut it off it salinity gets too low. That way if the ato sticks open, my water in the tank will never get lower than 34.0ppt.
Here is my ATO code:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Salt > 34.0 Then ON
If Output RetPump_2_3 = OFF Then OFF
If Output Skimmer_2_5 = OFF Then OFF
And my return pump code:
Fallback ON
Set ON
If Salt < 33.6 Then OFF
If Salt > 36.4 Then OFF
If 2-SmpL CLOSED Then OFF
If Output VA-TankHigh = ON Then OFF
If Output VA-SumpLow = ON Then OFF
If Output VA-Feeder = ON Then OFF
that sucks. is it a small tank? One thing I'm going to work on is a way I can manually open ato if needed, through fusion. I don't have any RO storage, and just have a valve that opens water to the RO unit and then flows direct to the tank.Definitely plan on this once I upgrade to my new tank and the Apex top off. Hadn't thought of the second part to sacrifice the sump while preserving the display, though!
But I actually had the opposite problem, haha. I needed to turn my ATO ON because my salinity was going up as water evaporated with no make-up. If I could have remotely reset the ATO, I would have been fine, but I wasn't able to connect to the APEX for my entire trip. I think my issue is my range extender which probably isn't rebroadcasting after I made some changes to my wifi set up to accommodate the Apex in the first place.
