Your program has a problem. You are setting the solenoid to off and then you turn it on if the lls is below 4" but as soon as your level is above 4" the set command turns it back off again. So your container is going to sit right around 4" all the time and never fill completely. Remove the set off and then it will stay on until the LLS reads 9".

It process the rules in order of operation from top down. So everything tells it to be off until ts less than 4. Once on it stays on until one of the many other conditions are met to turn it off Fallback OFF Set OFF If TRO_LV < 4.0 Then ON If TRO_LV > 9.0 Then OFF If TRO_HI CLOSED Then OFF If TRO_LK CLOSED Then OFF If LK_MT CLOSED Then OFF If Output ATO_PmP_5_9 = OFF Then OFF

@@ReefDudes @ReefDudes I'm aware of the order and the way it is processed. Once the level is no longer less than 4.0 (4.1 or higher) then the Set OFF is the last true statement and it will shut off. if you want it to fill to 9.0 then you will need to remove the set off line.

Your right. Same problem I have. As soon as it 4.1 turns off

Hey Reefdude need your help! I’m currently not using a reservoir in my aquarium as it takes up too much space. So I have a 20 gallon rodi holding tank 13 feet away in the room besides the tank. Using a regular ato pump like the osmolator doesn’t have enough head pressure. So can I setup my apex using the liquid level sensor to trigger my dos to top up water?

Hey there, I will be setting up a 60x26x24 (LxWxH) inch 160 gallon tank. How many XR15 G6 will I need for a mixed reef tank and how many will I need for an sps dominated tank? Please let me know. Thank you in advance!

3 should be enough, 4 if you want to overkill it :)

I’d like to do something similar but I did hear the liquid level has a decent delay, do you find this to be true ?
@ReefDudes2 жыл бұрын
I Believe it’s about 20s per inch so not a biggy deal for slow flow. But not ideal for rapid changes. It works well for the few setups I have automated

Is it the code or did it fail? Can you manually turn it on? If it still doesn’t work it May be worth replacing it

Why would you need the solenoid when you have the ato pump you can just turn on or off to top off the container when the level drops ?

The same ato pumps also does the ato when required. Couldn’t fit any 1/4 tubes though my conduit

Yep you sure can. Just use the levels to trigger your ato pump

Hey! What ATO do you use in the sump for your display? I'm debating just using the Apex liquid level sensor to do that in combination with a pump. Thoughts?

I have an ATK (but using my own programming) but havent been using it as an ATO in a while. Currenlty feed a kalk reactor with a versa instead of an ATO. The ATO does kick on now to refill the Tester container when needed or if i get to much evap to level it out once in a while. My office tank has the tunze ato
