I guess I don't understand what you mean by "technical".
The water changes are done by controlling my return pump and a pump in my 55 gallon salt mixing bucket, and a pump in a compartment in my sump. I have to do it manually through the software because there is no way (that I know of) to set it for once a month, but it works well for me and I keep my hands dry and the whole process takes a few minutes. Hope that helps.
Basically an auto top off set up.

Yeah I know what you mean, my mood is actualy starting to mimic my Tanks statusIt's driving my wife nutts!
If the Tank is looking good I am a happy man all night, If I come home and find problems my mood sinks and I take it out on everyone. I have got to stop doing that.
I don't have this problem, my mood is very stable - always grumpy lol

If your just starting out then Reset the system and replug back in your modules one by one. I think what happened was that you plugged your temp and Level in one way then must have switched plugs later, the unit is still holding on to the orginal setting.
BTW a reset will wipe all data so write down any settings you already have.

Its doing everything, all I do is clean prefilters and do water changes. and some of us have it doing water changes, so that just leaves cleaning filters. As soon as the robotic arm Module comes out that should be solved
Can you actually set up the software to do a water change? Obviously its not going to add salt but can you trigger solenoids and use sump, tank levels, ph, temp and salinity to do actual automated water change. Themoneypit posted his method but thats not a automated water change, just pump switching. These are more the type of things my buddy is looking for, right out of the box.

i don;t think it can do that esp since you might jhave less water coming out of a pump than going in & likewise. i thought about this & the best way to do this is actually to get the litermeter 3 which clibrates the peristaltic pumps so that whats goes in is exactly what is coming out. the litermeter is of course quite ex...but hehheh i know a secret that can get you around 30% off the current rrp.

My pH readings changed from 7.8 to 9.5 to 10.6 to 8.5 yesterday, getting sick and tired of this problem 
I replaced the probe with a Pinpoint probe that I had to see if it fixes the problem. Need to calibrate but ran out of pH calibration fluid. I wish the stingy calibration packets came with more fluid, it's barely enough to cover the probe
As you see, I am still very cheerful

This would pi$$ me off to no end.....this is exactly why I have not bought a controller yet, I hear ppl complain that the AC's DC's suck and x10 suck, but than I read you cant get a stable PH reading on one of the most basic functions of a aquarium controller.
I wish it all just worked as advertised.....take probe.....turn on......calibrate @ 7/10.....put in sump/reactor....recalibrate 6 months later... for the money this is how it should be.
What is AQT support telling you? That would be my first call and it would be there problem not mine.
What is the warranty for the AQT? How long? Limited or a full warranty?
Does anyone know if anyone from AQT plans to become a sponsor here on RC and have a dedicated forum to it?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to do thorough research before dropping a grand.

When I reported the problem AQT sent me a replacement probe (which reminds me i still havent shipped the original probe back).
But it didn't fix the problem so either all AQT pH probes have the same problem or this is not related to the probe and is something wrong with the controller.
After I buy the stingy calibration fluid and calibrate the pinpoint probe i'll see how the readinds are. Unfortunately that won't happen before Monday
Happy New Year!
