This is a great thread!
I will need to come back to this thread when we set up our 375g.

I really like how you planed out your program.
This thread is really helpful with setting up the controller.
I do have a question...
exactly how long are your MH lights on? 13 hrs?
We have the ACIII Pro and just ordered the AquaNotes.
I am hoping the AquaNotes is user friendly in programming the controller.
Out tank is not up and running yet

well ed and sandy,
the pro is supposed to be better in terms of it has some extra features, Really if you use those extras makes it worth it over the AC3. Now im not an expert as i have only been researching. Curt @ neptune and Ken are extremely helpful. They are the reason why my AC3 sends me an email every hour.. .. AC3 is up but not my tank
The aquanotes lite program allows you to do most functions with the exception of a select few and its free off their website... wonder if its worth the money.. let me know.
The MH lights can be on for as long as you want them to be.. in the above prgram that i posted, they are on for 10 hours, Some people set it so that they turn on at the same time the sun rises and falls as it would in the carribean or whatever the AC3 is set too.. only issue is i would never see the MH come on as i would be at work all day and never be able to enjoy it, I did set the moon cycle to standard though that way, if the clownfish that i plan to buy decide to spawn, this will help,..
I set the lights so that i could enjoy the tank for a little bit after i get home from work,, Lots of options with tis unit.. so far.. i love it.

Hi,
I've got an AC Jr. on order. Is the programming code the same for all AC's? Ken, will your simulator be beneficial for someone with an AC Jr. or just an AC III? I've noticed some people actually "write out" a temperature, say 78.0, and others use a + or - a certain number, < or > "RT", I'm assuming "RT" is "Right Temperature", is that correct? I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions once I get the AC Jr. and start working. Thanks for any info.

The simulator will work for the Jr; the programming is the same except that the Pro includes code for COND probes. You won't benefit from the upload but you can create, test and then copy/paste to the Jr (using AquaNotes Lite and a serial connection).
RT is for seasonal temperature which some people use an like or you can use actual (e.g., 77.0); it's mostly a matter of preference but it can save a little electricity if you use the seasonal as it lends to a slightly warmer tank in the summer and may same some cooling cost, likewise in the winter the tank is slightly cooler and may save in heating cost.

Chuck,
I strongly suggest you read the manual and there are a few threads with respect to good programs and there is another" AC3 best practices" You will find this very helpful. Read through others programs and this will give you some good options and ideas. Also Kens simulator is very effective and really allows you to change and play with the values which will show you how your program will respond. Use the simulator and play around with it for a bit. You thank us later.

look through the last 2 pages and the ac3 best practices thread. you can get rid of all of this with one line of code
