Glad everyone has settled in and doing well. As for comments, Fishytime brought over his probe, does he provide this service to anyone else, he he!

Well, you know that your probe does need to be calibrated in a couple different solutions every once in a while....which solution are you, Leah?....are you a 7 or a 10?....any plans on coming to cowtown?

I'll bet your a 10


Carmen, do you have the AC out where you can see it (probably not, with the little ones huh)? I found knowing and seeing what my ph was all the time was a little unnerving...whatcha got it programed to do?

Hey Doug,
I have it temporarily laying on the floor in a mess of wires! Actually the kids know the tank is SUPER OFF LIMITS!
It's working but not all neat and tidy quite yet! I don't have the ph monitor set-up yet, have to get the recalibrating liquid for the probe yet. Still sorta playing around with it. Trying to figure out a light schedule that I am happy with. I am finding the temp swing kinda excessive so I am not 100% sure that the heater part is working??? Swing from 25.5 to 27.7???
Going to hook up a fan to run when the halides are on and heat creeps up, already programmed it in just haven't had time to set it up. Nothing too complex programmed in but it's a start.

Wasn't it ME that brought over the probe?!?

As for the temp swing, that is odd. I had MH on my shallow cube (which you would think would fluctuate easily) with the controller keeping track of temp, and the controller kept the tank between 26.0 - 26.5C. Never needed a fan to keep temps in check.

Being that your tank is in the basement, MUCH larger water volume, external return pump.. etc etc (see where I'm going with this? ) What do you have the actual heater set at?
