Scott's 135 gallon display tank build

You may be having the problem because of your profile PF1 and PF2 setting. First, you changed the name for both of these to "wave" which may be confusing the system. Next you have them set to Vortech programs. I think you either need pump or ramp. The two quotes below are from the neptune forums.


"ON and OFF are manual overrides. ON is ON/100%, period. There's nothing wrong. Programming will only be executed if the outlet is set to Auto.

VarSpd outlet put of a variable 0-10 volt) control signal - they are used with compatible dimmable lighting and variable speed pumps like the controllable Tunze pumps. You cannot use Vortech profiles and modes with VarSpd outlets.. That simply won't work. You can use pump and ramp profiles with them."

"The 4 VarSpd outlets by default come pre- programmed with Set PF1 for VarSpd2, Set PF2 for VarSpd2, etc. When you renamed the PF2 profile to ReefCrest, for example, the programming for VarSpd2 changed to Set ReefCrest."

What to do with skimmer ? I have been running my tank now for a couple days with a sand bed and saltwater no fish or rock. My skimmer looks like it's been cleaning something and I get dirty water in cup do I run the drain hose to floor drain ? It seems to be condensation in cup building water do I have it set wrong ?

Just let it run. You don't have any type of bio-load in your tank, so it's not going to that much
anyway. Once you add fish and rock, it will start pulling out organics, etc. I've used this
skimmer before and found it to be pretty good.
