Reef Angel Forum

Ok. I did a big water change etc on my tank today. I reset reef angel and immediately the ph went up to 6.7 (still wrong but closer). The protein skimmer was the only thing off at this time. As soon as the protein skimmer turned on the ph dropped down again. Now when I turn off the skimmer shouldn't...

The top is out of the water in a probe holder

Thanks for the reply. That's what I initially thought so I ordered a new one and the new one is having the same issue. The new probe calibrates fine and reads fine if I put it in a cup of tank water.but if it is in the tank it doesn't read correctly.

So I tested my gfci for ground and it is grounded. I then tested for stray voltage and found only .1 volts. I then added two grounding probes to the tank hoping it would help aND it didn't. Any other ideas? Maybe it's just the magnetic field of those pumps? But that wouldn't explain why the reading ...

I'll test for stray voltage and see. It must be one of those two pumps. Or both.

Also, my ph probe is brand new and when in buffer it reads 7.0 and 10.0 respectively. Right now I unplugged everything from the relay one by one and put the probe in a cup of tank water. unplugging everything did not help. The ph probe was stuck at 6.02. I tried my code with and without my line with...

Hi all I'm having trouble with my ph probe. In my sump or display it reads a solid 3.02. But when I calibrated it or put it in a cup of tank water it is accurate. Also when I unplug my skimmer or my return pump from the reef angel the probe is accurate. I'm thinking it's interference or a ground loo...

Hi there My PH reading steadily declined in the past week and is now stuck at 1.42....obviously my tank's ph isnt 1.42 and when I went to calibrate using american pinpoint fluids, the readings are stuck at 0 and the ph still doesnt change. I am soaking it in vinegar as we speak, but do you think the...

Ok...tested again...When it is on 30% it is at 3, when it is at 100% it is at around 9.5V so apparently it is working

Also, the multimeter is reading correct for the lights.....

Thank you!

I edited my code a little. I took out the constant speed in the evening since it didn't work. So now they alternative from 30-100%. When I look at the reef angel head unit it shows that the pwm is in fact supposed to be switching back and forth, but I don't believe they actually are. I put my hand i...

Also I just noticed my tunze pumps are not cycling speeds

After testing with the multimeter (assuming I did it right) it came out at around 1.5 v.....advise?

Thanks...good point

How would I go about checking the voltage?

So would I be causing any problems if I have the Tunze Pumps and the LED Drivers connected to the same ground reference?

Hi Roberto After doing some investigative work I am wondering if it has to do with my ground. I have two tunze pumps plugged into the dimming expansion with a shared ground reference in port 6. I then have 5 ldd drivers using channels 2-5 and using the ground reference in port 7 which is connected t...

I did not check voltage....The tunze pumps that are on channel 0-1 are analog and they are reving up and down as they are supposed to. Channel 2-5 are pwm.

Hi all, I just built a new light and I am having trouble getting the lights to dim...They are super powerful so they have to be dimmed so I don't bleach anything. I am using meanwell LDD drivers and they are connected to the Dimming Expansion Module. I was also told that the GND from the pwm expansi...

Oh. I had it on but I also copied the port I'd into the IP address. Thanks sorry for the stupid question

Hi All,

I just installed my wifi adapter and had a question. I am running the app on my ipad right now and can only get the ph and temp to show up. When I click on controls it says unable to connect. Im sure this is an easy fix so any help is appreciated. Thanks

Alright...Heres my report.... I think the night mode works. The PH probe is getting a correct reading now. But the randomized flow didnt work so well...The pumps were switching their flow every second or so and it seemed like they were having a seizure....Is there a way to modify that code to make i...

Perfect! Thanks

Hi Roberto,

Happy thanksgiving...I uploaded that code...didnt seem to work...The numbers I got in my test were PH 7.0 - 285
PH 10.0 - 460...Those numbers seem way off from what you had and what others seem to have...but now when I calibrated it my ph is showing as around 5.5...

Hi Roberto,

My probe is blue...

Thanks a bunch and Happy Thanksgiving..
Ill let you know how it goes...Ill try to get it all to work...

1. What would be considered the wave function? the tunzelongpulse 0,87, 6, true part or the definitions part? 2. Random code didnt seem to work...Ill play with it and try to get it to work 3. Ph meter still read 5.0 in cup of tank water...I have the numbers from when I calibrated it. Is it possible ...

You are the best! It works great! Is there a way to do the following: 1. Make a night mode where the pumps switch to really low power (30%) 2. Randomize the flow Then, I just calibrated my ph probe two days ago, and now it is reading 4.9...it was calibrated correctly...is there a way to manually ins...

Found the jumpers off an old hard drive and it works!! Great! Thank you so much.....Now my last question....The code you put above is what I am using...I dont think wifi is enabled on it...what can I insert into it to get it to have wifi? I was using the reef wizard to try to recreate it but am not ...

Great. Ill check my old board. If not ill email you in December. Thanks

Hi Roberto,

Opened up the head unit...There is only one jumper on the RST pins....I dont have them for the SDA or SCL pins..Where can I get these from?

And I only have channels 0 and 1 hooked up, but I think we found the problem...

Thank you so much

Nick

Also, I am looking at the manual for pwm expansion and it says im supposed to put a jumber on the head unit board....I have not done that..I dont know what board I have...I bought my unit around february last year...and I didnt get a jumper of any sort with the unit or with the pwm expansion..
