I just got a 5v usb fan off of amazon for a few bucks and am going to mount it on the stand blowing air into the stand. My theory is that it shouldn't get corroded because it should see constant fresh air. I'll report back whether that holds up.

So if I have the heater set at 78, I should set the low at 79 and the high at 80, or something like that?

Ugh...thank you. What's the point of the low setting then?

are you sure? Why would it not be on if it's well below the off temperature? It's been working for weeks...

Below are screenshots of the setup

Woke up this morning to my Control 4 alarming. I have it in a collective with a WE. Tank is still cycling, so not a lot set up. Heater is set to come on at 72 and off at 81, tank temp alarm is set for below 76 and above 80. Right now I'm just using the control on the heater itself, set about...

Awesome. So this would replace a carbondoser electronic regulator, correct? How do you like the Tunze?

Is anyone using the Hydros CO2 controller to control the co2 to their calcium reactor? If so, do you have any other control for the co2, or is the Hyros used as the primary control? Tips on setting up? Thanks!

Can the command bus cables be used to create a collective between a control and a WE? I saw something on another post that seemed to indicate that is not yet possible, but in the "Hydros Collective 101" page on the coralvue site it appears that is possible. Anyone with direct experience?

thanks!

Are there good DIY instructions on how to shorten cables? I can't imagine it's that hard.
