I set up my controller the other night and I think I'm going to like it a lot. Still have the major hurdle of how to set up my router so I can access it remotely from the net. I'm using a Tunze osmolater and I was wondering if anyone had a program they wrote to protect from the pump running wild and overflowing/lowering the salinity? Any other good programs you have written? I'm using two of my feeding cycles for water changes and skimmer cleaning. A third is actually being used for feeding.
Best way to stop the pump is use a breakout box and put a float in the barrel for low water and one in the sump for high water Then just tell the pump circuit to not engage if either switch is tripped
The Tunze should already have that built in. I've run Tunze osmolators in all my tanks and never had an issue with it getting stuck. Of course, I probably just ruined that streak of luck by saying it out loud.
Yeah, the Tunze has a pressure sensor for low level and a float switch for high that triggers an alarm you can not ignore. I was just wondering if the Apex could detect when the pump was on and limit how long it could run. Can't have too much redundancy. There would have to be failure of both switches to stick on. A siphon would probably be a more likely disaster.
