Any updates on this issue?

Hopefully you got it resolved before you left for your trip.

Well if you can believe it, the un-trusty old Coralife dual timer has now failed on my housesitter. It won't come on at the scheduled time reliably. I guess those cheap mechanical timers wear out. That was my second Coralife timer. Same thing happened to the first one.

So she's down to manually turning the halides on and off for their 8 hours each day.

But other than that everything is happy.

I don't think the earlier tripping issue is related because I think I stabilized it a few days prior by removing the bulbs and swapping them around and ensuring they were seated 100% correctly. There was no corresponding power outage for when the Apex died. It just randomly crashed.

Any electrical device should be able to be turned off and on at least once or twice per day. And the base controller is a separate module, so it doesn't take a hit when the EB8 goes on and off. Yes it does get a small amount of power from it via the Aquabus, but it's probably only 5 or 12 volts. I may even try getting a dedicated power supply for the base module.

I must say though, other than this experience, the Apex has been solid and I love it.
