I'd be sooooo tempted to do something evil next time I saw him walking down the road.

Sorry for your loss Greg.

The final project worth 40% of my Writing in a Digital Context mark is on forum analysis!

Prepare to be analyzed, you have been warned.

Ever have one of those days when it feels like all you're doing is spinning your wheels?
Yesterday I decided to play with the new RKL to get all my heaters ( 8 of them ) pre-set.
So I finally find myReef 2.0 after registering on the DA site. Then I need .Net 2.0 to run myReef. It took an hour and a half to get all the downloads installed from Microstuffed.
OK, now I install myReef and it takes numerous tries to get it to recognize the V2 SID. Get that firmware updated. Then it won't read the RKL Head unit. Click, close, open, unplug, plug in, click, click CLICK. AARGHH. There's no menu instructions. So, by fluke, I click on a row of ???????? and it asks me what module I'm working with. Finally I find the Head unit and update the firmware, then a PC4. Great. So far so good. This is 2 1/2 hours so far ....
Now I can't program the PC4 - whaaat is goin on ?????
I can plug in the Head unit or the PC4, but not both, to the program.
2 hours of reading and I go to bed.
Today I tackle the web again and finally run across a blurb with instructions on the not-so-easily navigated DA site.
Basically it says to power up the unit and plug in the SID. There's nothing about that in the Quick Start Guide, the User Manual or the myReef Manual !!!
I didn't try that up to this point as I wasn't sure it was safe to have it powered up while plugged into the usb.
TADA !! Now I can program the PC4.
Shame on DA for crappy instructions in the box, the Manual and the Quick Start Guide.

Hehe, now that I think about it, it's actually 9 heaters :lol:
3 x 200w in the sump on the RKL + 2 x 250w set lower direct to the wall; and one each for rock curing, the ATO, New water and QT tanks
I'm using the RKL to make sure there won't be any drastic differences
I already had the 250s so I may as well use them, but prefer to use the 200s on this setup. Plus some backup never hurts, not that I don't trust the RKL, but I don't trust the RKL :mrgreen:

I am sorry for your lost, Greg.
My Sheba Inu, Teddy Bear, has just been diagnosed with cancer.
At least we have time to say our good byes...but for a healthy friend, killed for "threatening" a large cow?? RIP Hercules.

Fear not, I also mised it.

Yes, you should go get a checker if you a worried about your color levels.

Yes, you can use a marker, but be sure to get the non-toxic. Also don't get the washable kind as im sure you see the obvious problem there.

Leah 01-18-2012 05:31 PM

It is so COLD but my dog is loving it. :biggrin: Got to love Husky/Malamutes...and to think she might have not made it to see her first birthday. Very grateful she is now healthy and happy.

the markers dont say anythng on them or the box about being reefsafe sooooo can i just lick them to see if they are toxic?? they smell funny and it has a happy skeleton face with a cross through it.....im sure its some sort of smiley face and not in any way a warning of its contents right??:P

The only way to tell is to open the back. There will be a little foam like tube wrapped in plastic inside the marker. Take the plastic off, and get to the center of it. There will be instructions in the middle, most likely in Chinese. You will need to get this traslated. This will be messy, be sure to wear white and lick your fingers clean after.
