It's been awhile.....still on the roadmap for API?

Completed my build! I cheated a bit and bought some cables. I tried soldering the GX12 4-pin and failed miserably! :p Didn't bother with the 5 pin. I did do two of the 2 pins. 1 worked and the other probably came undone when putting the housing back. Oh well, I had a few Drive cables...

Works for me. For AWC, I was just going to set to run at the same time. That's how I have the Versas running. New salt goes in by the return pumps, waste from just below the reefmat. It should be close enough. Have a better one!

Hey @TanAsh - I'm about to embark on this project. Question on your setup within Hydros. How did you set it up - simple doser or smart and use a schedule? Did you calibrate? I'm assuming you did simple and just used "Has Internal Schedule" within each...at least for the AWC side.

Same boat. I'm trying to figure that out. I want to run a motorized ball valve for just 20 seconds. I set max run time and do not exceed. It powers on for 20 seconds and turns off BUT I have the RED exceeds. Well, it really didn't exceed if the power is now off!

Cool that Amazon now carries it. They didn't when I started this trip.

Are you talking about this link? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805533083254.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.62991802F7ZB5I&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa it should come with both male and female connectors. Power from Force port should use the female M16 connector to the SDC or Red Sea...

well, don't really need a stepper. Just wondering if a brushless would have better longevity over brushed for AWC / Continuous. I "top off" my ATO reservoir from my RODI continuously at around 7ml/min. Using a Kamoer stepper now which is fine. If brushless needs 24v then yes, I can see the...

Would Brushless or Stepper be better for the long haul?

You need the Hydros Drive cable, not the Force port. The ReefMat uses a M11 connector. You can cut the power cord and splice or make your own cord with the M11. I did both on two separate aquariums. The simple method is cutting the power cord that came with the reefmat. You can always...

Simple method - cut the power cord for the ReefMat and splice to a female barrel. Plug that into the Direct cable. Photo attached. The other method, which I have on another aquarium, I used a M11 connector. Just red / black wiring to + and -. HTH...

If still 12v, it should be fine, I would think.

I have this down as one of the first projects I will do when I retire! Counting down!! Thanks for sharing.

That's what I do on my two Versa pumps. I do about 1.75 gallons every morning over 1.5 hours. Seems to be fine. I may switch to Sole or Minnow (if possible) when the Versas give out. I bought the Versas before the X10/Minnow came out.

I believe if you don't do the jumper, it won't be running at 24v. As far as configuring the Kraken port, not much there. I have mine on Constant with the selected Output of the Force Port connected. Do you have anything in Depends on that's triggering it to go off? I'm kinda reaching...
