I'll keep it in mind, thanks!
If it was me I would get the water to what the refractometer is and then just look at what the probe is saying and just leave it alone. That's you know if the probe says that the salinity is.023 you know it is really.026. Then just set the alert to alarm if it changes from.023. I would only use that probe as a warning. I would still check it the manual way.
Yeah that's a good idea. I still need to figure out how to do alerts/emails with the apex. Haven't gotten around to that yet
Well I finally got my extra float switches in the mail. Ordered them earlier this month from China. Seemed to be the only place I could get em at a decent price. Maybe I'll install one on my skimmer cup soon.
I'm thinking about switching from LEDs to T5's. Can anyone recommend a good fixture that isn't priced too high?
Aquaticlife makes the only decent one that is cheaper than ati. The rest have bad ballasts, reflectors, or cooling.
Yeah I'm hearing ATI is the best but the 8x80w fixture is over $650+ and doesn't come with bulbs apparently. Ridiculous
I would do a let retro if you can build a canopy. They are just as good as ati
No idea what that is or how to build it lol and I'd rather keep the canopy I have now

This one has a picture as a. example. It is very easy to wire.

Yeah I saw these earlier today, sorry I didn't make the connection. Haha. They only sell up to 4ft tho. Do u think that would be big enough? I'd prefer at least a 5ft fixture
My first link is a 60 inch.
I'll do more reading up on them, thanks man
Do they ever come WITH bulbs? Lol I mean other than buying em used
Not true. odyssea fixtures always come with bulbs. At least the smaller fixtures do lol I've never bought a bigger one tho.
Aquaticlife does too, they just are not great haha
