I got some good advice on the neptune forums, most of my stuff is answered. Apparently support has some special setting you can use as well. So I asked for that, we'll see.

I have a backup.cfg and only 2 EB 8 and a feeder, so hoping it will be easy enough. I have to reset fusion somehow, not sure on that part yet.

I will probably send this one for repairs once I'm not mad anymore, as having a spare would have saved me hours of grief last night. And I couldn't go to the gym, and that ****es me off.

Anyway, the big thing now is getting J&L to ship that to me by last night. Yup, that's a challenge, but I'm sure they're good enough.. although opening at 11 puts me behind right out of the gate. We'll see.

Frankly, that's more important to me than this stoopid box of water in my house. I almost just left it unplugged last night. So close to done.

I hear ya.

For the most part I'd be tempted to just run barebones until the new unit comes. Tank will live without lights (or just turn them on/off by hand), you can feed by hand for a couple days, run a subset (or all) of the pumps on manual for a little while.

For me the biggest concern would be the heater if yours is oversized for the tank (like mine is apparently). If you don't have a secondary means of controlling it then maybe just go without. It takes a while for a tank to cool down and it's not going to cool down past room temperature anyhow so unless that is really cold then it's probably fine. I ran my tank without the heater for months after the disaster and even without the tank lights on, the couple urchins and tigertails that I couldn't remove seemed to do just fine. (And so did the 2 million aiptasia that sprouted up once all the predators were gone. On a side note, man I love my butterflies, one month of two butterflies in the tank and not a single aiptasia left. But I digress again.)

Anyhow that's my advice. KISS and go to the gym!

I have 2 big heaters, and I guess my control is a bigger chiller One RW15 running, return, skimmer and reactors running off default On from the Apex bar. Lights will be manual until I get the replacement. Which I still want today. Tomorrow latest.

Anyone here ever set their unit to "replacement mode" ? Grasping here

God I hate this thing.
