Ah... 8's not too bad though. I was sorta thinking 3 and under. "Ohh buttons and switches." At least that's how it is in my house... My guy is 17 months and I'm sure my neighbours think my house is possessed with the lights turning on and off all the time. I've learnt to live with it ... But it's something that immediately leaps to my attention, those red switches and the controller... right at toddler height to boot. Oh well, don't worry, at least since we're in different cities you're in no danger of us coming over for a visit and rearranging the on-off thingies in your tank

I've got a three year old, and I thought she would sabotage my reef for sure. Instead, she's very into fish and corals, and very respectful of the equipment. If they like reef, they learn fast. Now, if I can only get her to stop eating the saltcreep...........
Once everything is hooked up Dave, I wanna try ALL the buttons and controls

Yahoo, the tank's in place and filled with water... Yeah, right. Ok so it's sitting at Reimer's Express and won't get to my house until tomorrow. But I've got the sump filled and I'm making another 80g of RO/DI water right now so I'll be ready when the tank does get here. This also allows me to test much of the plumbing for leaks. Just have to get the tank connected and make sure the bulkheads don't leak. I'm going to risk it and not do a leak test with tap water. I figure if it leaks I don't have to drain the tank as the tank is drilled only within the overflow box. We'll see if I'm ok doing this. Otherwise all I have to do before moving the tank into place is to get the lights hung.
Since I have water in the sump I was able to connect the Aquatronica and get all of the probes in place and much of the timers/programs setup. So far this unit works great and is very easy to use. It's going to: - handle the refugium light timing - monitor the pH in the calcium reactor and adjust the co2 on that basis - turn the kalk mixer on/off throughout the day - act as a thermostat for the heater - handle the topoff of the sump with RO water - measure the pH in the sump - measure the salinity of the system - measure the ORP of the system and control the ozone reactor on that basis - possibly put the UV on a timer I've also got the ethernet adaptor on order so I'll be able to monitor/control all of these devices remotely.

how does it control the co2 for the reactor. is it with a shutoff solenoid or is there an electric regulator setup?

Linear Mode
