So I've been poking around here a lot, but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.
So here goes,
I want to do fully automated water changes on my freshwater 150 gallon tank.
I have drilled the back of the tank at about 40% from the bottom. The bulkhead goes to a T fitting, with the lower side going to a drain valve, and drain, and the upper side hooked to a fill valve and thermostatic mixing valve to get the water temps correct.
Both my drain and fill valves are 120v electric ball valves, I have them both on my EB832 drain on outlet 6 fill on outlet 8. The valves work great I've been doing my water changes with them by manually activating them in Fusion.
I also have a FMM with a single optical sensor, this is placed in my sump just below the emergency overflow, I want to use this to close the fill valve, and then turn the return pump back on.
I'm wanting the sequence of events to go something like this;
Drain valve opens;
50 seconds later the return pump shuts off
Drain valve remains open for 15 minutes then closes.
Fill valve opens
When the water reaches the optical sensor in the sump the fill valve closes
return pump turns back on.
I would like to be able to initiate this sequence with one of the feed mode's (not A) for now.
Ultimately I plan on getting a dos, and using it to dose prime while the water is filling, and to dose ferts at other times.
I know I'll need a virtual outlet, and I've already got that. I just can't seem to figure out how to make this all come together.
TIA
