    Advice for new bio cube owner

    I agree with @trio91 sounds like you put the cart before the horse which many people do. When i setup my tank I went a month+ with just live rock and live sand before adding any fish. Also when adding fish to a new tank don't do it quickly. Add a couple at a time allowing your system to build...

    Well seem like the fix in code plus a new cable solved my false temp reading. I ran fine last night with reading the air temp and now its in my sump and so far, knock on wood, its reading correctly. Speaking of wood. I finally got 'legs' on my board so it is no longer sitting on my RO bucket...

    Win an aquamaxx reactor!!!

    I second @trio91 it be nice to be able to enter contest to win stuff. I see many YouTube people getting company to donate things for give away so I don't see why they wouldn't help a club with the same stuff.

    So I think I found the route to my false alerts. I swapped basically everything and was still getting some false alerts. After some searching online I discovered the latest OS update required some additional code for the sensor to work correctly. Everything seems to be working correctly now...

    Advice for new bio cube owner

    @trio91 mine seem to run ok but like you said pain in the butt having to reset them all the time. now I don't need to worry cause my controller take over. My main reason why I like those was I had two lights on the timer and the right hand side could be used for non-timer equipment.

    Advice for new bio cube owner

    This is the timer I was using. Nice thing is left side is the timer and right side isn't. Allow you to run multiple devices on the same time. You can also set different on/off. some downside to this time is it needs to be reset everytime it loses power. If you set the 'on' time to a time...

    Advice for new bio cube owner

    I agree with @kschweer about getting a timer for you lights. Lowes have a sweet power strip with a built in timer. I was using one for my lights until I moved them over to my controller. Also like @kschweer said your lights total should be 8 or so hours (this include the blue light) If I...

    Advice for new bio cube owner

    1 - Don't just let it grow. Try to fight it but don't go too crazy. 2 - What lighting are you using? How long? All day seems too long. Try running your lights for about 10 our less hours total 3 - I do about 10% water change every other week Check your flow, make sure there no 'dead' spots...

    Blue snowflake polyp.

    ok. Well if I can get up there I will gladly take it off your hands. The wife and I enjoy road trips but not sure I want to lug the kids along for a simple pick up.

    Thanks. hope to add some photos and screen shots tonight. I'm not a wood person. I have ideas in my head they just never pan out well lol. I'm trying to build a stand for the controller and I already cut the base board smaller than I needed lol
