Well, I can add one more thing to this that I probably should have mentioned in my first post. The RA has an included feature called Watch Dog Timer (WDT) that's built into main board chip. What this does is basically sends a command to "watch" for a "reset" signal every 15 (?) seconds. If the...

Mike, I have no problems with that at all. However, I need to arrive early to help setup, stay late to help cleanup, and then possibly be involved with taking the speaker out for dinner after too. I don't know if you want to stick around for all of that, lol.

+1 Nothing beats a good fish rescue story! Tank looks really great too btw.

David... I think those "kids" are really robots! :o

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing Jon.

Yea, the monitoring and remote control features were a major selling point for me. You do have a valid point about putting your eggs in one basket. If the controller fails then you have to go back to all the timers I guess. Actually, I upgraded to a larger (memory) main board because I had...

How much are you looking to sell it for?

I just built a canopy myself and finished it a few weeks ago. I used Killz2 (white) to paint the interior. I used Minwax Oil Based Wood Finish to stain the exterior. I used Minwax High Build Polyurethane to seal it. I ended up buying the "High Gloss" version since my stand had a shine to it...

Also wanted to mention that if you plan on buying more than the standard RA controller package and also end up getting a few expansion pieces... just send a PM to Roberto (rimai) on their forums and ask him if he can do a deal for you for buying a lot. He gave me a few extras for free when I...

If your LED's aren't dimmable (IE, they just have power plugs and on/off buttons) then you can't control them with the Reef Angel (RA from now on) or from any controller really. The reason is because your LED's don't have dimmable drivers in them. The only control you can get from the RA is...

The other great thing about Vortechs is that there's no wires in the tank either. No chance of electrocuting your fish and also you don't have to worry about running a wire through a top or canopy. I haven't replaced a wetside or dryside on mine in over 2 years either.

Hi David, Yes, I love the controller. I spent a lot of $$ and got a bunch of extras, but it's worth it to me. My new LED's needed something to control the dimming and since I had to get that I decided it's time I finally got a full featured controller. Yes, I got the WiFi attachment so I'm able...

As of now, I'm attending alone, so +1.

They're all really talented.

That sounds a bit strange with that many EcoTechs breaking for you. I wonder if maybe something is wrong with the dry side that's causing problems? As to noisy VorTechs... I've had mine for about 3 years and the only time I hear mine is when I have it on Nutrient Export Mode. On the short...

Ugh! Sorry Kevin. You need to find out what's scaring your fish enough to commit fishicide. :nervous

So sorry to hear this Jon. Hopefully you and your family can find peace in that he's no longer suffering.

I got a few things for you here... 1. When you first start using Bio pellets, you shouldn't run gfo also. You need the pellets to get seeded with bacteria for them to work and if you run gfo it will slow down the seeding process. Take the gfo out for at least a month and only put back if your...

Looks like it has some interesting features. However, you need to buy the "slide packs" though which are $112 for a years supply... every year. :(

Glad to hear that Jon.
