I'm on a flight out of town tomorrow at 6pm and today my Apex Controller decides to die. As in poof, just stops working.

WTF? Why me?

Now I have to train the house sitter how to dose, check the temp, etc.

Why didn't this happen 2 weeks ago?

You're kidding! When did you get the controller? Should that be under warranty? Did you have a power failure?

Oh man does that ever suck!

That's called Murphey's law at its best!

The same reason why it is always your favorite coral that will RTN or melt...why can't it be those ugly polyps in the corner?

This is why I spend a solid 5 minutes in reef meditation daily staring at my valonia and aiptasia repeating the following to myself:

"you are my favorites... you are my favorites... you are my favorites..."

So far nada

I'm trying to re-flash the firmware. We'll see if I have any luck. Otherwise I'll have to switch over to the old coralife timer light bar

My glorified timer let me check my tank all week from Costa Rica. My $15 Rona timer never did that!

It could be worse... At least you have time to train someone to look after it. It could have happened tomarrow at 6:01 PM
