    Can't run Reef Octopus VarioS-4 at 65% power. Always shows 64%.

    Found a weird problem.

    First, I have the latest APEX firmware, and the latest VDM firmware. I have a Apex Jr, VDM, and Reef Octopus VarioS-4, on a Red Sea Reefer 170 (herbie drain).

    Before I got a VDM, I setup the Herbie drain and VarioS to be fairly silent and consistent. Now I have the VDM. I noticed that 64% would sometimes create a bit of noise, and 66% seemed to be way too much water going down the emergency pipe. I want to try 65%, but for some reason the dashboard on Apex Fusion always shows 64%. If I change my profile to 66%, it goes to 66%. If I set it to 64%, it does 64%. But it never lets me do 65%.

    I always assumed I had 1% of granularity, but maybe it's only even numbers? Can anyone verify?

    Use that 65% value if that’s what’s perfect for the flow rate you want. Disregard that displayed 1% difference; it’s just due to slight rounding of values between what’s used internally and what’s displayed.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
