    temporary disable temp probe - keeps my lights off?

    I have an Apex for a little over a year, has worked great but I just moved to a new home and upgraded to a larger tank (from 90 to 120g). The only other upgrade have been 2 radion xr-30s. Same return and circulation pumps. The tank water stays about a steady 78 degrees but the apex tmp monitor has creeped up to 121 degrees and now I cannot use the timer for the lights. Not sure if there is some way to prevent the tmp from shutting off the lights until I figure what is wrong with the tmp probe. might need to replace it? Anyone else have this issue?

    The Apex has latest updates as of 3 days ago...

    121 degrees means the probe shorted and needs to be replaced unless it also reads 121 unplugged (should read about 20F unplugged. If it reads 121 unplugged as well, the head unit will need to be sent for repair)

    For now, unplug it and get a new one on order.
