Fed up with DA/APEX - Ready to DIY

Welcome aboard. I was going to say pretty much what Colin said, but he beat me to it.

The lights I would do 1 at a time east to west, to simulate sunrise and then turn them of the same way to simulate sunset.

I believe the salinity probes are interchangeable, but like he said it does come with one so you would have a spare.

Thanks Steve, Colin and Inevo! I'm going to play around with the lunar lights today and let you know what I find. Next questions... how do I get the nifty dashbaord to display at the bottom of my posts like most everyone else? I like that.

Simple.

On the portal go to the 1st tab at the bottom that says "Web Banners".
Choose the layout you like and post the code into you signature as an image.

The signature can be found under User Control Panel and then Profile.

Awesome. I freaking love this product! How can I remove the components that are not in use from the dashboard and/or the mobile app? I have them zeroed out now, but I'd like to clean up the interface to show only what "works" for my system.

Does the dashboard mean the Portal or the Graphic image in your signature?
Either way unused items can't be removed from them.

I don't really know about the U-App, but the Andriod App you can go into the settings and choose what is visible and what isn't.

It's official - I'm able to run all four (4) ReefKeeper lunar pods (8 LEDs total) off a single RA dimming port. I just connected/soldered all the + and all the - leads and then spliced into a single harness for the dimming port. I, too, was afraid that there wouldn't be sufficient juice to power them all, but apparently there's plenty. I run them at 50% and they're still plenty bright. I'll post a pic shortly.

You might check with a meter to see how much current that's pulling.
