I am now at work and will check my home email tonight. Nevertheless, are there instructions regarding use of a access point (AP) (wireless router)? The default setup is for Ad Hoc apparently. In addition are you aware of any problems with setting the system up on Vista?

I very much appreciated the instructions but they did not seem to be too dissimular to what is available on the installation CD. I read the instructions last night but still could not get a wireless connection.

Is it true that connecting over a WLAN via a wireless router, access point, with DHCP with WAP will not be available until firmware V3.03? Even in the device emulation mode (in the Extras/Communication submenu) I did not see how I could instruct the device to accept DHCP addressing, enter SSID, enter WAP key.
Must all of this be done with DeviceInstaller? DeviceInstaller would not recognize my home wireless network even though it is broadcast in my neigborhood. Might have been easier had they used Windows or .NET infrastructure to discover wireless networks, etc

Hi Marsh,

i saw you also tried to obtain help in reefcentral. Because of illness i couldn't reply earlier.
From 3.02 on the configuration is completely different - and much easier.
Unfortunately i have not been able until now to update the tutorial - coming soon.
I think i should support you directly, on the phone. You'll get a PM with further details.
Until now we got every WLAN-card at any customer running!

Hi,

Will the doser be able to dose a set amounts of liquid? For example, if I want to dose exactly 10mL each day.

Will you ever have NO3 and PO4 probes in the future? I want to use it for a planted tank.

Thanks.

The new firmware 3.03 (coming allows the dosing in ml/day. Or you can program a timer clock in 1s resolution.
Probes: I can't promise, these probes are still too expensive for permanent measurement. The technical side is not the problem. ProfiLux is ready for probes of any kind.

I know that in order to run Two Tunzes on one port, you need a Y adapter. Is the Y adapter the same that would be needed for LED lighting? Course, I am not even positive if you can run the LED lighting on the Y adapter to begin with so that would be helpful too. I havent been able to find much info on any of the vendor sites about this.

i'm pretty sure it is the same y adapter. when doing so, both led lighting plugged into that adapter will be controlled the same. meaning that they will both dim the same amount at the same time, they will not be able to be controlled individually.

Thank you!

I also have another question, can I use the controller to completely automate my water changes once or twice a week? For example, I use two optical sensors (max and min). Then can I use the controller to open a solenoid valve and at the same time a water pump which will drain the tank (this will be at a set time, like 9 am). Then it shuts both of them off when it reaches my desired low point (min sensor). Then it turns on the return-line solenoid valve to fill up to max level sensor. Can it do this automatically?

And do you know when you will have the plug-in dimmer module so I don't have to throw away my ballasts and buy dimmer ballasts?

Bump.

Thanks. But is there a risk the optical sensor can fail (for example, piece of debris covers it or algae) and then overflow the tank?
