Also, what would you suggest I set my mp40 connected to the apex at?
Currently, my program is:
Fallback Lagoon
Set Lagoon
If Time 09:00 to 10:00 Then Pulse
If Time 10:00 to 12:00 Then ReefCst1
If Time 12:00 to 13:00 Then Pulse
If Time 13:00 to 17:00 Then ReefCst2
If Time 17:00 to 18:00 Then Pulse
If Time 18:00 to 20:00 Then ReefCst1
If Time 20:00 to 23:00 Then Lagoon
If Time 23:00 to 06:00 Then Slow
If Time 06:00 to 09:00 Then Constant
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then Slow
Profiles:
Lagoon-max int 60%
ReefCst1-max int 70%
ReefCst2-max int 100%
Pulse-2sec max int 100%
Slow-int 25%
Constant-int 65%
I have my lights setup with the sun command +2 hours on sunrise and sunset. Is there a way to program the mp40 to match this? I don't want the pump to be at pulse when the actinics arent even on yet if its like july or something and the lights come on at 7am. (i dont think that would happen, but its just an example)
-
I'm still a little fuzzy on what all you have going...but hate to keep asking questions...so here is a basic program you could put in for your pump outlets:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet 30G-WC = ON Then On
If that doesn't help, I think we need a look at your virtual timer statement and other outlets. You can get a download of your apex program and post it here.
For your vortech, I assume you have the WXM module then? I don't have that one yet, but would like to get it.
-
Yes I have the wxm module. Its pretty neat. certainly worth the money.
Basically, this is what i need to do with sample times inserted.
Pump 1: SWRet-AWC (5_2) needs to be on for 1 minutes. Then
Code:
Current program:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet 30G-WC = ON Then ON
Min Time 003:00 Then OFF
Pump 2: SWSend-AWC3 (3_3) needs to be on for 1 minute. Then
Code:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet 30G-WC = ON Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON
Min Time 002:00 Then OFF
Pump 3: SWFill-AWC2 (3_2) needs to be on for 1 minute.
Code:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet 30G-WC = ON Then ON
Defer 002:00 Then ON
Min Time 003:00 Then OFF
30G-WC program (havent put in the timer yet, just using feed sch d for testing)
Code:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If FeedD 000 Then ON
Basically, i need a max run time command.
Not quite sure how to program that. I got it in the apex now where it does this. I did it using the defer command.
-
I think i may have figured it out!
This method didnt work before because i wasn't typing the outlet names right.
Code:
If Outlet SWFILL-AWC2 = ON Then OFF
I added that command after the if outlet 30G-WC = on then on and each pump turns on and off with each other.
I am such an airhead. Completely forgot how strict the code was.

-
kind of.
I put in a membership request at that reeftronics site. is it easy to get a membership? It looks pretty neat.

my current apex config
-
It normally just takes a couple of days to get setup on reeftronics.
-
woohoo. i am on!
check me out
Apex Status
-
OK, got my high and low floats installed. Now to brainstorm on how to program all of this. Any ideas?
Switch 1: Return area (ato)
Switch 2: Sump High
Switch 3: RODI Water
Switch 4: Sump Low
Switch 5: SW High
Switch 6: SW Low
I am not quite sure how i would program all of this.
Also, the pump i have going from the sump to the sw drain, any ideas on how to prevent a siphon from happening when i turn that pump on? The trash can is like 1 ft lower then the tank.
