Is anyone up north, Roy/Ogden that is knows and is good with programing them. to keep skimmer from flooding in power outage when sump is full and skimmer turns on this is from neptune Hi,
Yes, it is possible. Use this code: If Time > 00:00 Then SKM ON If Power 005 Then SKM OFF |

What part are you having problems with? Is there something specific? I'm not up north but maybe with some clarification and a few member's comments we can get it figured out for you ------------- 90g mixed reef GOT CRABS?

Well Im trying to set two of the plugs up for "wave" action.
One on one off and back and forth like that.
And how dose everyone set up there temp par I was thinking
HTR on @77 off @ 78
Fan on @81 off @ 80
so that is my idea and think I can figure that out the book reads like, well I dont understand it LOL |

I'm not familiar with the random wave action, but I'm sure there are others that use it. Chk4tx?
For the fan/heater, you set them something like:
If temp >81 then col on
if temp <80 then col off
if temp <78 then htr on
if temp >79 then htr off

btw if you use halides you might want to add a line for potential power outages.
if pwr 010 then 'Lit 1' on

That command line allows the halides to cool off before restarting in case it is a short power outage. Since the halides won't fire if hot, it gives them time to cool down. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it similarly for your skimmer if you want that delay. ------------- 90g mixed reef GOT CRABS?

Can anyone help me with feed modes, and skimmer on with power out delay
I want, feedA = 5 min skimmer off
feedB = 10min Skimmer ans RTP off I only want it to go into feed mode when I select it manualy. IF pwr 010 then SKM ON This is so skimmer wont over flow when sump is full. |
Posted By: Rioreefer
Date Posted: April 10 2009 at 3:48pm
This will not work on skimmer due to Lights being on a timmer setup and the skimmer ia 000 always on, so the time 010 wont help skimmer and if on timmer it wound not do feed mode.
At least thats what I have come to find out, If anyone knows diff PLEASE let me know. I did figure out feed mode |

Rio, I'm not sure on the timer vs. no timer deal. I just wanted to give you a heads up for halides. I'm curious why you would want to delay your skimmer though after a power restore. ------------- 90g mixed reef GOT CRABS?

It is a ER that is in sump, and when my tank and seperate fuge tank drain thay fill my sump to all but 2in from top, So when power comes back on it can and dose from time to time over flow the cup, basicly the extra H20 covering the new style ER exit pipe hold extra h20 in and it overflows.
Im open to ideas you have been a great help.

hmmm.......wish I had more for ya on that. I might check the neptune forum on RC. That's a great resource and I'm sure you will get what your looking for. Other than the skimmer, is everything else up and running now? Are you wondering how you EVER survived without a controller now?
