    Personally I wouldn't use the ro/di with a float. Unlimited disaster awaits. Any chance you could have a remote location ie closet, garage etc and run tubing to sump?

    I just thought a 1.5 degree change numerous times in a day would be bad.

    Got to love the Apex...

    Here is my recent Apex fan log. It this too much on and off? I have it set up to go on at 80.8 and off at 80.1, I didn't want to swing the temp to drastically, but the on and offs seem excessive. Any thoughts? 1 2015-08-16 00:05:01 -0400 Fan ON 2 2015-08-16 00:06:13 -0400 Fan OFF 3 2015-08-16...

    Power Consumption

    I do the same. My system gets on the warm side, but I fixed it with my Apex and a fan. My heater is off for about 4-5 months in the warmer months and my 225 gallons are heated with just a 300w heater, except the brutally cold months when the back up heat kicks on via Apex.

    Mark's 90 upgrade

    He got the deal because of good karma. He gave my son and grandson his 10 gallon setup. What goes around...:)

    Power Consumption

    My 3200 gallon Sicci pump uses 165w per hour. By switching you would save about $25 a month. The DC pumps out there probably a lot more.

    Power Consumption

    The Blue lines seem to be pigs...you can get more efficient pumps. And I bet a low watt fan could replace your chiller.

    Got to love the Apex...

    Although I barely have scratched the surface of what the Apex Jr can do, I really got a kick out of adding a fan to my sump. Tank has been running warm 82+ even with AC and basement sump, so I grabbed an old standing fan laying around and it quickly dropped the temp. Too quickly actually. My ph...

    Did you try injecting lemon juice, boiling water, or kalk paste? Or is problem out of control?

    MACNA Sept. 4-6, 2015 - Washington DC

    I really wanted to go, but I have to move my son into college on the Sunday. Was really looking forward to it. Hope it will be close next year. Still surprised they did it on Labor Day weekend.
