All dead now what

[Tab28]

I came home and both aquariums were totally off, everything. I plugged the pumps and lights straight into the wall. Now how do I figure out what needs replacing. The apex control module or the power strip?

The only bit of any power on the entire system is a faint green status light slowly fading on and off on the power strip.

I've not heard of a EnergyBar status light slowly fading on and off. They may blink on and off. Disconnect the Apex base - does that change in any way? If not, then the EB is suspect.

See if you have a 12vdc adapter you could try to power up the Apex base. Many router's and modems use a compatible power supply. It must be 12VDC & 500ma or higher.

Now that it is completely dark. Fading may have been incorrect. It is blinking about ever second. A constant blink.

I unplugged the module from the power strip. It did nothing. So if i plug the adapter into the power slot of the module and it lights green. Does that mean it is the power strip?

Will a 12v 2A adapter work. Not sure what 500ma is.

Yes it will. "ma" is milliamperes.

The module powers on and turns on display screen and ph/ temp probes. So i am guessing it is safe to say it is the power strip.

If i replace the 8 power strip. Will i have to re-program all the outlets? Is there any way to get module to think the new is the old?
