    ATO Malfunctioning

    There are two sensors. The mechanical float switch sets off the high water alarm. The other one (clear plastic) is the optical sensor. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    ATO Malfunctioning

    How old is the pump? I never got more than 2 years from the osmolater pump. Also try cleaning off the optical sensor, even if it doesn't look dirty. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    Neptune system breakout box

    It is possible to control a Nest thermostat via an unpublished API, but you would need an intermediate system to monitor the Apex and control the Nest. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    Neptune system breakout box

    The breakout box can't power anything. All it does is detect whether a circuit is complete (switch closed). Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    Jgraz's march to 200DD

    I had a 210 and ended up not liking the depth. Too hard to reach the bottom. I liked it less when it broke! Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    I had a copperband that sucked down live ones, but never would touch the frozen ones. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    Pond fish gone

    When a racoon decimated my koi, it left them lined up around the edge of the pond. Lots of evidence. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    Lighting a 180 standard

    I have six SOLs over my 180. 3 would leave too many dark spots. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    AI Sol Blue color

    I had one AI SOL module on which the RB LEDs did not light up. I opened it up and reseated the connections to the pucks (just pushed on them, did not remove the board). After that, it worked again. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    Butterfly and pod cultivation setup

    My yellow longnose eats just about anything. Favorite dry food is Instant Ocean chips. I dispense them from an automatic feeder. When I had a copperband, the ONLY thing it are was black worms. I started building a system to grow them, but lost the copperband before finishing it. I still have...

    Oil tank help?

    A diner operator I know bought the building he was renting with a $50,000 cleanup commitment from the seller. A legal nightmare and costs are now over $200,000. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Current owner will have to remediate before selling unless he can find a sucker. Don't be...

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    My PCX-40's have been running for close to 10 years. Only one I had to replace was one that got a snail stuck in the impeller. It has a dead spot, but it is still used to pump RO water from the basement. I can't complain about their reliability. Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk 2

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    With the power saving, no bulb replacement, and less heat, I estimated a 3 year payback on my AI SOLs. Definitely have seen a drop on electric bill. Much simpler and reliable than the MH and VHO I used to run. Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk 2

    AC Jr - setup help **PLESE**

    Sorry, but I didn't see your posts on this thread. The ACIII has two AC power inputs. One is the primary. I have that plugged into a small UPS. This keeps the controller running when there is a power failure. The second input plugs directly into the AC line. This allows the ACIII to...

    AC Jr - setup help **PLESE**

    Here is a program I ran. Everything in it should work with an AC Jr. Just provides some examples of how to program the beast. The important thing to remember is that the logic gets interpreted top to bottom each time the controller loops. // comments must be removed from program before...
