    New user wanting a review of config/ some questions (apex fusion)

    Hi all,

    Just received my new apex ytd and had quite a fun time setting it up! I went through and read some documentation and researched the items i needed so hoping someone can review my dosing configs and let me know if they see anything wrong. Subsequently i have a question listed at the bottom.

    Config

    Reefer 450
    Running BRS 1.1ml Dosers
    1. Calcium


    • Fallback OFF
      Set OFF
      If pH > 8.35 Then OFF
      If Time 08:00 to 08:10 Then ON
      If Time 10:00 to 10:05 Then ON
      If Time 12:00 to 12:10 Then ON
      If Time 14:00 to 14:05 Then ON
      If Time 16:00 to 16:10 Then ON
      If Time 18:00 to 18:05 Then ON

      Goal here is to have calcium run at these times during the day


    1. Alkalinity


    • Fallback OFF
    • Set OFF
      If pH > 8.35 Then OFF
      If Time 21:00 to 21:03 Then ON
      If Time 22:00 to 22:03 Then ON
      If Time 23:00 to 23:03 Then ON
      If Time 00:00 to 00:03 Then ON
      If Time 01:00 to 01:03 Then ON
      If Time 02:00 to 02:03 Then ON
      If Time 03:00 to 03:03 Then ON
      If Time 04:00 to 04:03 Then ON
      If Time 05:00 to 05:03 Then ON
      If Time 06:00 to 06:03 Then ON
      If Time 07:00 to 07:03 Then ON





    Goal here is to have Alk run at these times during the night to help with the PH drops at night.

    Questions
    1. Are there any issues with my configs above, those are the times i would like it to run and the quantity of dosing I will need. I read sometimes people misuse set and fallback and i just want to make sure im using them correctly

    2. On one of the outlets i would like to run my Smart ato which i will run like a pump on constant, my wish is to have the apex reset the ATO once a day to ensure its not hung up as ive experienced in the past. I'm assuming i have to run the config in advanced mode but what is the action i have to input to get it to reset. Goal is to have it reset every day at 11pm CST

    3. Is there a location of list of commands that can be run in advanced mode?

    4. My Salt is currently at 36, I am reading online that we should be in the range of 33-35. Can someone confirm this?

    5. I've set up some basic features (probes and setting up Energy bar) so far and havent had time to go through the full capabilities so do you have any tips or functions that you use that you think is useful?

    Thanks again for the help in advanced!

    Save yourself the headache and use this calculator Russ made.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
