ReefKeeper Elite Questions

[AcuraCl1]

I am needing to know whats the best way of setting up the power outlet channels. Which items are best on CH 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Here is what I have

Most likely I-Tech 200 Skimmer with Tunze
2 Ice Cap 250W MH Ballasts
2 T5 2 bulb retro kits 60"
2 250W Stealth Heaters (currently not using as tank is stable without them)
2 K4 Powerheads
1 Vortech MP40W Powerhead
4 fans
2 Pumps
1 Tunze ATO

I have 3 PC4 Power Strips.

Thanks

I believe that you'll want to put lower power devices into channels 2 and 3 as they're solid state switched and channels 1 and 4 are actual relays, so they can switch anything (high or low powered).

Brandon, I am new to this, but Andy just instructed me to do the opposite. Low power devices like powerheads and small pumps on 1 & 4 as the simple relays handle them better.

Just when you think you know something BAM reality slaps you right In the face.... Not much to talk about on here lately seems like the board has been dead.

You're right, Michael... I got it backwards. DOH!
