Neptune Systems @ YR

How many of these have deposits on them? I'm contemplating an AC3, DC8 and pH probe because I love my Jr so much.
 
Also interested in Combo pricing for AC jr/DC 8/serial port/ & temp probe when you find out. I've looked around the cheapest I saw is 249.99.
 
Your on-line deal might be better shrun209.

Seems the combos are rock bottom, no vendor discounts. In pm's to YR I don't see the price being any better on this go-round. However, I'm putting my money in this buy. I may not get it cheapest, but I'm getting much cheaper while routing business through a favorite resource.

Vendor ("Your Reef") is very concerned that those who participate in this purchase go away happy.

"AquaNotes v3.20---------------$69.00
Temp Probe for AC3Pro.-------$45.00 4 at least. My wholesale cost.
Conductivity Probe.-------------$115.00
Combo: ACJr/serial/pH(std)/DC8-Don't see this option on price sheet. The offer they have is this:
AquaController jr base unit+serial+Temp Probe+Backlight $164.99
The PH probe seems to be a separate purchase.
Will most people need the one with the serial port? I would hate to have them order the one without it and want it later ... Just want to make sure people are happy and get what they want.
Hope this helps."

just out of curiosity, has anyone thought of taking a DC8 apart to see how it is made, and then make a DIY article on it? From what I can tell, it is just a serial connection between the controller and the power strip, which im assuming have small relays in them to control on/off..... kinda like a chauvet power center.

It's much more likely that the control circuits use SCR's so they can use TTL control signals to gate the outlets on and off. It would also explain why really low current devices have trouble with the outlets staying on. I would not think it would be a good candidate for a DIY unless you have experience with electronics and electrical circuits. funman1 could do it easily but I think most reefer's should stay away from experimental wiring projects.
Just my opinion.
 
So an AcJr w/ serial port, pH probe, and DC8 would cost:

AC Jr $135
DC8 $142
pH Probe $40

Total: $317

Correct?
 
YR is asking for a deposit in order to secure your item(s). Since this is a deal where a deposit is required and quantity counts, there needs to be a cutoff date. Please have your deposit on record no later than January 15th. Since credit costs money, John is willing to offer additional slight discount for cash.

seems like i read 50% somewhere on deposit. kevin, please confirm.
 
Yep, 50%.

KMP, I have a meeting in Sac Friday so I may plunk down then, but if I don't, let's go do it on a recon run Sunday (Saturday is slammed).
 
It appears the ACjr @ $135 is NOT serial. Serial option is $164.99.

REMINDER: Deposits due by Tuesday.

Thanks.
 
A tip for you guys...

The AC3 has two BNC connectors that can be configured as either pH and ORP or dual pH. If you configure it as dual pH you can monitor your tank and control your calcium reactor.

I've had both and AC1 and and AC3. The pH and ORP probes on both of them interfered with each other no matter where I put then in my sump.

I'm not monitoring this thread closely. If you have AC questions for me PM me.

I would like to put some sort of AC training session together, sort of like a DIY session only instead of building something we all share AC configuration tips.

Brian, this is an excellent idea. We should time this to coincide with the Neptune systems everyone will be getting from YR. I'll be ready to program to AC Jrs when we decide to do this DIY session. The other benefit will be laptops and aquanotes and serial to pc cable can be provided for the group to use. I love it!
 
This would be a good topic for our meeting. Maybe get someone from Neptune to give some kind of talk? I know I'd be interested!
 
wannareef1: This is meant to help locally. Relationships count. Thanks for your info, but what you're about is not what this thread is about.

Trevor: If you want the DA controller, get the DA controller -- Don't torpedo this deal.
 
My post was not directed or meant to torpedo this deal. It was meant to be more informational to the fellow reefers.

what I'm about, is helping fellow reefers save money, this is why I put a group buy together down in southern California, this hobby is expensive enough, I was trying to help people like me save money. I would think you would want the same thing for your fellow reefers,

I only wanted to help my fellow hobbyist save money, you included !
