Do you have aquanotes? It makes life so much easier. I don't have experience with aquasurf but can help a little on the the controller. It isn't too bad once you get a few commands programmed. I did my lights first and once i had them figured out the rest fell into place. Let me know. Maybe one night early this week I can do what I can for ya, if no one else with more experience can help. scott

Aquanotes makes the ACjr a breeze to setup. If scott can't figure it out then let me know.

Ben,

I can help here is my very simple program as an example:
If Time > 13:30 Then HQI ON (turns main lights on at 1:30 PM)
If Time > 20:30 Then HQI OFF (turns main lights off at 10:30)
If Time > 07:30 Then ACI ON (turns actinics on at 7:30am)
If Time > 22:00 Then ACI OFF (turns actinincs off at 11:00pm)
If Temp > 81.0 Then FAN ON (turns fans on if temp get above 81F)
If Temp < 80.0 Then FAN OFF (turns fans off if temp below 80F)
If Temp > 82.5 Then HQI OFF (turns lights off if temp is above 82.5F)
Max Change 030 M Then HQI ON (if temp above 82.5 lights are off for 30 minutes then restarted)
If Time > 00:00 Then PUM ON (this function turns equipment on automatically regardless of time)
If Time > 00:00 Then BLU ON
If Time > 00:00 Then PHL ON
If Temp < 78.0 Then HEA ON
If Temp > 79.5 Then HEA OFF
If Time > 00:00 Then PHR ON
If Time > 00:00 Then HEA ON

Here is the equipment list:
PHR$-A1 (powerhead right)
PHL$-A2 (powerhead left)
HEA#-A3 (heater)
FAN#-A4 (fans)
PUM%-A5 (main circulation pump)
HQI%-A6 (MH HQI's)
ACI&-A7 (Actinics)
BLU&-A8 (Blue LED moon lights)

I was also looking into the same controller. What are those aquanotes all about and where do you get them from?

Aquanotes is a software program that interfaces with the Aquacontrollers. There are 2 versions Aquanotes Lite and the full Aquanotes. Aquanotes Lite is free from the Neptune website and the full version is available through any Neptune dealer. With the software you can program the controller monitor and graph your tank conditions etc. With the software it make programming the controller much easier.
