Re: DC Pumps that work with RA

Sorry, I don't have this controller. I run a waveline pump.

Re: DC Pumps that work with RA

Fish street as a new controller, the aqualink A1. Now we can hook up the RA to the DCT, DCS, and CP pumps

Re: Proportional ball valve

So here is the bypass valve I added to my drain. The purpose of it is to open if the main gets too clogged, since it already is restricted. I want it to turn on when my overflow is 87 or greater. I want this to stay on until I manually turn it off. This will be using port 2 and water level 2. Would ...

Re: Proportional ball valve

The purpose of that valve would be to open if the other drain became too restricted and caused the overflow to rise too high.

Re: Proportional ball valve

I thought about using it in conjunction with my DC return pump to keep the overflow level at a specific height. I decided to go with a simple off/on valve and teeing that off the main drain.

Re: DC Pumps that work with RA

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. They have been saying they will have that controller for their older models of pumps.

Re: DC Pumps that work with RA

Sorry I was mistaken. I have the 12000 model. Bought it off of eBay for I think around 160. I got a good deal on it because it was listed as used but it was because the box was opened.

Re: DC Pumps that work with RA

No you don't need the adapter to control it. Just a Ethernet cable. The DCP can be found on fishstreet.com.

Re: DC Pumps that work with RA

The new waveline pumps can be controlled with the reef angel. They can be purchased at bulk reef supply. I'm using the DC10000 to do the Robertoflow standpipe.

Code: Select all

    pumpBool=true;

Re: DC return pumps

I guess I'm still confused. The sump level was only at 82 because I submerged the standpipe to test the code. It's supposed to turn off the return when the level is 50 or higher for at least 16 minutes. Normal levels for the sump are around 30. The 89 is the max level of my overflow so it shuts off ...

Re: DC return pumps

OK, I see now. That code shuts the return off if my overflow is greater than 89 so it won't overflow if my drain is plugged. What can I do if I want to keep that and still toggle port one when my sump level is too high for too long? Do I need to use a float switch in the sump instead of using the st...

Re: DC return pumps

So I finally installed the code you did for me today. I submersed the stand pipe for my sump level so it would activate. It shows that the sump level is at 82 and it was suppose to turn the return off when it was 50 or higher. I waited past the 16 minutes but nothing happened. Not sure what is going...

Proportional ball valve

Roberto, if I recall you were looking for a proportional ball valve at one time? I found one on eBay at 186 dollars. Here is the item number for that listing, 222044516416. Would this work with the RA? I know the listing shows it with a stainless steel body but I contacted the seller and they could ...

Controlling DC Skimmer

At one time I had a DC skimmer. I thought if there was a way to detect the height of the bubbles, you could have the reef angel adjust the skimmer pump so It would stay at a constant height. I found these on ebay. Would they work? The fiber optics are through beams and you could drill them into the ...

Re: DC return pumps

Sorry should have worded it better. If the level in my sump has been 50 for 20 minutes or longer , I want to turn off port 1 for 5 seconds then turn it back on. It will be like a reset when my pump starts acting up.

Re: DC return pumps

I need some help coding. I want port 1 to power off for 5 seconds and turn back on. I want this to happen when channel three of the water level sensor reach's 50 and is on longer than 20 minutes. I want to ignore this though when I'm in feeding mode or I manually turn off port one.

Re: DC return pumps

Just checked a few things to rule them out. I unplugged the return port and the ro/di port separately to rule out noise from either one. It didn't matter which one was unplugged, it still went to 20% when I toggled on the rodi port. I'm lost at what it could be. Any other things I should try?
