Mixed 500 gal. A.G.E. build. 12 unit LED Radion lights.

I use salifert to check nitrates as well but dont like the color graduations they have. I have a calibration kit for ULR Phosphourus checker. I just ditched the checker and got a Milwaukee/Martini low range phosphate kit. I couldnt handle the inconsistencies of the checker anymore. If the calibration kit for the ULR checker is the same as the Phosphate checker you can have it. Just pm me your address and I will send it to you.

Thank you very much for sending me this. I can't wait to start testing for Phosphates
 
If you run an Apex, I have some great programs that I would be happy to share with you for both MP60's & MP40's.

Sorry to hijack your thread David, but yes I would be interested in the apex programs. I just got the module to control them but I have not updated the apex software in 2 yrs so I think I need to update first. I am Apex stupid. The only thing its doing now is PH, ORP,Temp, chiller & heaters. I need to get one of my local guys to come by & set everything for me.

I need to get it operating kalk stirrer, pumps, water bug & vortecs. It would take me 8 hrs to figure this thing out & alot of head banging!

David, are you getting a back & forth sway motion with the vortecs on sides & back??

Andy:

I am running 2 MP60's and 2 MP40's. I like to change things around a lot.

On my master unit (one of the MP60's) I run the following program on my Apex:

Fallback ON
Set Pulse
If Time 06:00 to 08:00 Then ReefCrst
If Time 08:00 to 09:00 Then ReefCrst
If Time 09:00 to 10:00 Then Lagoon
If Time 10:00 to 12:00 Then ReefCrst
If Time 12:00 to 13:00 Then TidalSwl
If Time 13:00 to 14:00 Then TidalSwl
If Time 14:00 to 16:00 Then Lagoon
If Time 16:00 to 18:00 Then Lagoon
If Time 18:00 to 19:00 Then ReefCrst
If Time 19:00 to 20:00 Then ReefCrst
If Time 20:00 to 21:00 Then Lagoon
If Time 21:00 to 22:00 Then Lagoon
If Time 22:00 to 06:00 Then Night
If FeedA 000 Then Slow
If FeedD 000 Then OFF

On my other 3 units, I either run in Sync or Antisync settings.

Here is what is currently run on my other MP60:

Fallback ON
Set AntiSync
If Time 08:00 to 09:00 Then Sync
If Time 12:00 to 13:00 Then Sync
If Time 16:00 to 18:00 Then Sync
If Time 19:00 to 20:00 Then Sync
If Time 20:00 to 21:00 Then Sync
If Time 22:00 to 06:00 Then Night
If FeedA 000 Then Slow
If FeedD 000 Then OFF

Again, sometimes if I am sitting in front of the tank, I will break out my laptop and change a program or two to see what type of reaction that I will get. You will see that I have left some programs duplicated, just changing the hours; like Lagoon from 14:00 -16:00 and then again 16:00-18:00. That is to make the program easier to change from 16:00-18:00...

Hope that helps!!!

Thanks Dan via David! That is just the sequencing program for Apex that I was interested in. There are many variables and many options. It is good to review the settings and experience of others even though our tanks are quite different. I guess the %s are different as well. Sorry to hijack but important topic. Appreciate it.
 
David,
Now that you have been up and running for a while, how do you like your skimmer? You went with the SRO 8000, correct?
