184g basement 8ft reef

So i went to get some new tires for the gfs jeep this morning, and after i checked in and was waiting, apex fusion decided to connect again ( been a month of on and off all day, ****ty wireless and cant update unless i pull it out and bring to modem).

this is screenshot after i got home and moved all the plugs. it was heading in a bad direction..




at about 5 am apex simply turned everything on, regardless of what the settings were, even when i got home the apex unit itself said lights off and they were all on...

co2 to my calcium reactor was just flowing away, brought ph in reactor down an extra .1 and the heaters were roaring and brought temp up..

wtf. has this happened to anybody else?

My Apex has been doing the same thing, not quite that extent though. My ato wouldnt turn off even though all settings were right (luckily my sump holds more than my ato for just that reason), when lights off it says on, and when I try and turn them on manually it doesnt even work. Not even with the controller. It has been a little bit better since the update, but it still has issues. kinda scary to think what could happen if the apex did fail and went undetected for to long.

ill probably issue a service ticket and see what neptune says, but im reluctant to use it at all, if they cant provide a reliable product for 1000+ dollars im gonna be ****ed, my livestock is worth too much to have a premium product kill everything...not sure what to at this point with winter coming. do i trust the temp switch on the heaters themselves, or do i trust apex. sigh..co2 feels alot more dangerous now, have to dial in the bubble count alot closer now.

Seems to be a lot of Apex issues on the board this year. I wonder wth?

On the other side, your tank looks fabulous and you can't go wrong with THAT new skimmer!

Yeah... the skimmer... errrrr merrrr gerrrrd. Had to get a new fish for the skimmer so i stumbled upon male and a female Masked Swallowtail Angels today!

Love those Angels! I hope they are reef safe because one day I would like a pair as well.

Also, how is your pump running? Quiet? No other problems?

I am asking because I will be setting up a 175 gal tank soon.

They are supposd to have a high chance of being reef safe, i dont have any more crabs because of some wrasse, so in that aspect of reef safe not sure.

Which pump are you talking about?

If you want a reef safe angel look into watanbei angels.

I had two, however one was really rough after shipping and didn't make it. I've had the other for a few months and she is a a model citizen
