post your program here

I'm using the built in seasonal lighting variation table to control my two halides. One comes on as normal according to the table (have a look at the table in your owners manual) and then shuts off two hours early. The other comes on an hour after the first and shuts off only one hour early. The table would normally have my lights come on for about 12 hours a day which I think would be a bit much for my tank so by doing it this way they come on for about 10 hours a day +/- around an hour depending on the time of the year. Staggering them this way also gives me a bit of a dawn/dusk effect. The fuge light program is sort of written in reverse so that it comes on as soon as the last metal halide turns off in the evening and then shuts off in the morning as the first metal halide turns on.

Ok I remember this now, I opted for the set time every day and just bought moonlights (leds) for at night. I light the code being so clean I might have to try it out for a bit.

Thanks for reminding me

Assistance needed

I previously posted this as a seperate thread, but it seems no one can offer any assistance. I hoping that maybe someone will respond to this thread, though it hasn't been active in a while.

I'm setting up my ACIII again and have added an AquaSurf to it and am using many more functions on it than I have in the past. Can someone,please, proof read my code and make sure that I'm not setting myself up for a possible disaster. I've scanned the "Best Practices and ACIII Post Program" threads and have come up with the following. I've attempted to use Ken's simulator but everytime I use it wants to close the program.

Thank you!

I would add something like If Temp < 72 Then HTR OFF as a fail safe to prevent the heater from boiling the tank in the event of a temp probe failure

Max Change 005 M * * *Then MH1 OFF
Max Change 005 M * * *Then MH2 OFF

everytime I read this thread I'm confused...just now got up enough nerve to ask: what does this mean? and where is this part of the program at?

LT5$-A01
MH1$-A02
FAN%-A03
HET%-A04
MLT$-A05
MH2$-A06
REF&-A08
PMP#-A07


....I get part of it, but those characters "%" "&" "$"...what do those do? (reminds me of strings in program code)

This code is for the older platform, the AC3.

The "œMH1" for example is the 3 letter name for the outlet.


The different symbols are used to indicate which icon is displayed on the system's LCD.
"œ$" shows a light bulb symbol,
"œ&" shows small square or a box symbol,
"œ%" shows a up or down,
"œ#" shows a padlock in lock or unlock.


The "œA02" for example is the address for the outlet as assigned by the dip switches and physical location.
 
Auto Water change

Auto Water change

Maybe is a simple think but not for all of use.I can't set up simple water change.Here is so many nice programs and ideas. Maybe you can help me.
I got:
- 2 water sensors
-1 Solenoid Valve for top off
- 2 water pump one for water to drain, second pump fresh mix water to sump
-1 pump for mix fresh water
- Water barrel 25 gal.with fresh mix

Sump;
top sensor will turn on/off top off water and turn off fresh mix water from barrel
bottom sensor will turn Off water pump to drain and turn on fresh mix
Water pump to drain will be turn on by Time at 22:00 ONLY MTWTF for 2min. and Saturday and Sunday OFF
When water will by pumped out from barrel turn off heater and pump in barrel.

I think Top sensor have to have Min. time or Defer when water change starts, same think bottom one before fresh mix start pump.

My connection in EB8:
1- Solenoid Valve ATO
2- Fresh Mix ( barrel)
3- Water to drain from sump

I hope I explained what I mean.Please advice
 
Controller FITS!!

Controller FITS!!

I have been bumping around on here for a bit, but have never posted anything. Actually im kind of anti technology simply because Im too dumb to figure it out. So blogs, fourms, IP's URL's, up load and download they all mean nothing to me. Im not complaining, just stating the facts in the hopes that I dont get chastized for comming across as ignorant. So with that out of the way (hopefully) I purchased an Apex Elite that had aparently been sitting on the shelf of my LFS for a while as I spent several hours on the phone with Paul of Neptune systems, trying to figure out what I had done wrong, only to find out I had version 4.0 and that nothing I did was going to work. Well with all of that fixed (again hopefully) im on to programming the outlets to control my lights, two circ pumps, fans and a later addition of a kalk reactor.
I have read many of the programs folks have shared and I must admit I am more confused now than I was before. I have 1-250 metal halide that Im calling MH, 50/50 led im calling 50/50, all white led im calling DAY, moon led im calling MOON, 2 fans FANS and 2 powerheads on a wave maker that I have called CIRC/PUMP. Basicly I want my 50/50 to come on, then the DAY, later yet the MH to come on and then shut off in reverse order at specified times. I would like for my MOON to come on 1 hour before the 50/50 then shut off, and then come back on for an hour after the 50/50 shuts of at night. I hope that makes sense, I want my moons on for an hour before "sunrise" and an hour after "sunset". I couldnt figure out a better way to make sure all the lights stayed cool in my canopy, so I just figured when the MH was on so would the fans. This is what I came up with, but like I said after reading many of the posts on here, Im not sure it will work correctly and not cause any problems.

Outlet [1] MH- Set ON
Fallback OFF
If time 1030 then ON
If time 1630 then OFF
If temp >82 then OFF
Outlet [2] 50/50-Set ON
Fallback OFF
If time 0600 then ON
If time 2100 then OFF
If temp >82 then OFF
Outlet [3] DAY- Set ON
Fallback OFF
If time 0730 then ON
If time 1930 then OFF
If temp >82 the OFF
Outlet [4] MOON-Set ON
Fallback OFF
If time 0500 then ON
If time 0600 then OFF
If time 2100 then ON
If time 2200 then OFF
If temp >82 then OFF
Outlet [5] FANS- Set ON
Fallback OFF
If Outlet MH=ON then ON
If tem >83 then ON
Outlet [6] CIRC/PUMP- Set ON
Fallback ON
Would like to insert for feed program here....

I really dont understand much, if any of this, so Im just flying by the seat of my pants. I looked at the "Unofficial Guide", it helped some, but I may be too far gone for any help. But I figured I would ask any way, so please be kind. Thank you all so much and have a wonderful day!
