Thanks Rimai. Learn something new everyday

Thanks. I didn't know that. Dumb follow up question but is a lower or higher duration between change of speed good? I've been using a few different random patterns trying to adjust the flow a bit. I have a couple rose bubble tips that are starting to move around whereas before they didn't. I think p...

Question. I'm looking at the portal and I see my Actinic channel running at 64 % and my Daylight channel running at 40%. In my code I have it set to ReefCrest 50,10 so I assumed, maybe incorrectly, that the mode starts at 50% and will flucuate +- 10% - so a minimum of 40 to a max of 60. I'm seeing i...

@binder - thanks! I'll take a look at it today and give it a try. I'm finding two RW4's in the 40 breeder can be a bit much at times and the rose bubble tips start to wonder around looking for a calmer area. I have been trying to find a decent power setting but once I think I have it the wave patter...

Quick question I hope. Is there a function or routine that would alternate two different power heads (in this case Jebao RW-4's) off and on every say 4 to 8 hours? If that is how long it takes to run through Reefcrest? I have alternated them by if then else over 24 hours but wondering if there is an...

Hi everyone. Doing a little bit of house cleaning on my code and wanted to get more dynamic flow and lighting set up correctly and had a quick question if possible. I believe I am not using the sun routines properly. I've included my code but I believe while I am calling the routines I'm overwriting...

Ok, thanks. Let me continue to look because mine is pretty consistent oddly enough. I must be doing something odd.

Thanks!

Hi, odd question. Is it possible to adjust or set, maybe predict, when the tip of the reef crest or wave pattern will hit during the day? Not sure how to add a image but using the PWMA graph on the portal, http://forum.reefangel.com/status/chart.aspx?id=saf1&filter=PWMA, my pattern appears to be...

I noticed this yesterday actually. I no longer see the graphs for PWMA/B oddly enough. IP for the wireless adapter is still the same and I can see portal activity. Also have port forwarding. Read a few more posts and see that some changes happened back in December. I updated macro and ran it, seems ...

How does this work on the DCT series? I have a DCT 15000 that I was going to use either has a return or pump for my LifeReef skimmer. Other pump is the Vectra which I believe requires the icecap unit.

Wanted to say thanks, that did the trick. I'm wondering if there are other tips or tricks I should find. I was testing some code last night with ReefCrest and I had it set to ReefCrest, 43, 2 thinking 43 was the base speed and it would go up or down by 2 points (40 - 45). Yet when I looked at the po...

Add this under setup. Change the 20 to whatever you want the bottom limit to be. ReefAngel.DCPump.Threshold=20; // Set lower limits for Jebao pumps --Colin Thanks. Wasn't aware of that option but sure I missed it somewhere. Will give that a try tonight once I get back home. Appreciate it!

Is there a default minimum for the various DCPump modes or PWM SetDaylight / SetActinic? No matter what I do it seems to start at around 30 when I am setting 40 or higher. The new Jebao successor to the RW is the PP and it seems to stop working when it is at 30 for long. I've tried a few things but ...

Hi Rimai - that would work perfect. I didn't think to fire that up to check but that would do the trick.

Thank you.

I honestly didn't know you could buy them separately. However, there was a great sale this week so I picked up the XF250.

Hi - quick question I hope. Right now I have my RA set up to turn off my port when a certain temp is reached. Is there sample code / examples that turns on / off the port in a range? Hopefully I'm asking it correctly but what I'd like to be able to do is limit the plug / power to the heater only whe...

Hi, On the RA Client PWM A is reporting 45% and PWM D is reporting steady 30%. When I look at the reefangel portal the PWM Actinic and Daylight PWM channels match. Question, the DC Pump Jebao / Tunze shows the correct mode, Tidal Swell but the speed is a constant 55% with 0 duration. I'm wondering i...

Thanks. Makes sense.

Gives me a good reason to finish setting up and get my Android app and wifi to work more consistently.

Hi all - quick question. Is there anyway to get the main display onto a tablet or other external source? I'm not talking about the Android or other apps but taking the actual RA screen and attach it to a static larger stationary screen. Maybe the apps let you already do this and I just don't use the...

Does this also work with the latest generation of Gyre's like the XF250? Looking at a couple different options so looking at the buy-in price. XF250 is already over 300 and adding the icecap is another 100 or so. I already have the cables for Jebao's and I don't recall what is needed for the MP seri...

Here's some screenshots from my uapp http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160917/999cca3d38ad6f6cf66efb8a1c8c6999.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160917/93f6ab6ad3d58f66e77325109e81cfd3.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160917/bf7942527f397b0d49123752dbe33aba.jpg Background: Started getting ...

So...dumb question. This is the built in portal with the WiFi attachment? Never could get that to work properly so the portal here is what I use.

Temp probe area on head unit is definetly not working. Same with screen - it is shorted out. Rest of the unit seems ok although I was not able to upload a new bit of code. Wireless connectivity and portal functions work.

I'm guessing screen and main board?

Thanks for the tip, will look at that today.

Ty again.

Was out of town for a few days and tank was sort of on auto pilot. Looks like something spawned or bacteria and caused the skimmer to go a bit wonky and my reef angel head / controller unit was under it on a ledge. Long story short, water damage. Looks like temp probe area is already corroded and th...

Cosmith71 - Is that a standard feature of using ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true or your custom code block?

If that is a feature of setting use memory to true that is slick.

Lab grade runs about 64 bucks on amazon at least that I've seen. Standard probes run 35 - 40'ish. Just make sure to buy the calibration packets, then calibrate it, and leave it alone. Depending on the quality of your probe, the readings, if consistent, you can probably get away with recalibrating ev...

Thanks Binder.

I sort of assumed that but wanted to ask just in case. In my particular case I was just getting tired of swapping the WIFI and TTL cable back and forth to upload any code or monitor via the UI. I believe there is a add-on to make that bit easier but I was just being cheap I guess.

Hi - odd question, but is there any way to get debug information or test the code before it is uploaded to the controller? I've been trying to modify the cloud feature to ramp up my RW4 power heads to full blast when the lightning strikes. However, I'm not seeing anything happen and I've had 2 storm...

Did the "wifi" internal web server change recently? I've not used it in a while and I seem to recall someone saying it was a bit flaky and suggested using RA's portal instead. I tried to connect this morning to the internal one and see a completely different look and nothing is working. I ...
