Just ordered my RKE w/net
- Thread starter andywe
- Start date
Yes very true! I did break down and buy the BRS ORP prove. I figured what the heck since I had already gone this far.
At least I can plan how and what to program, and determine how many timers, ect. That way when it gets in I can get busy. I also started reading the manual today (RTFM). By the time it gets here I will be ahead of the game.

Quick Update.
The unit is up and running. A little drilling, a few screws and walla!!
So far the experience has been good!
The PH probe was a pain at first to get calibrated, but I eventually figured out how to get it to calibrate and thus far readings are good. Temp was great and easy.
Net module setup was easy.
I have not set up the PC-4's yet (they are connected but nothing plugged into them) as I am awaiting my replacement fixture from Coralife today and want to impact the critters as little as possible, so will move to the PC4's then.
I am also going to utilize stich1 and the SL1 for my auto topoff. It means I connect the float switches to the SL1, and then the pump to a PC4 channel. I can then move my relay setup upstairs to my frag tank

Got tubes?
Nice, man.
I'm planning on using one of the switch inputs for my ATO and one on my skimmer so it will shut down if it overflows. Its not likely, but for $6 its cheap insurance! I may also put a switch on my wastecollector so it doesn't overflow. Again, cheap insurance.

I have it up and running now, with temp, PH, ORP, and my lights. So far so good. I am on the lookout for a bug in their software that can cause a power reset (bad thing), but so far so good.
I also have the info reporting into reefnook as well.
If anyone is interested in seeing what the net interface looks like, shoot me a PM.
