ReefKeeper Problem

I just got into the house from working tonight and my wife tells me we had a power failure for about one hour and ten minutes. No big deal.....we've had power failures and the tank just starts up again. But when I check the tank, the one ReefKeeper has a bar across it and all lights are on for all switches.







My second Reefkeeper is looking normal





I switched the head units with the EB-8's and sure enough the head unit is the problem. DA no longer supports RK-2's. Does anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks

It's a miracle! After spending some time first figuring out what each cord ran, I had the tank back running last night, with the exception of my lights. It was night anyway and figured I'd work on the lights today. So I'm dinking around with the tank this morning and figured I'd plug in the ReefKeeper one more time......and, as Gomer Pyle would say, "Shazam," the headunit was working.


I actually plugged and unplugged the unit multiple times last night with no effect, and then left it unplugged overnight. I can only guess, having advanced degrees in ignorance....especially electronics, is that the logic cleared itself, or somehow reset.


I'm extremely relieved because I had no idea what I was going to do. You can't even find this antique ReefKeepers for sale anymore, and I didn't want one of these newer controllers that communicate with your smart phone.
