The prayers did not work. I think I just fried everything. The X4 is the only thing that will come on. Just wow. I guess I'm out of Hydros.

Got the connectors back! The moment of truth! I'm hooking them up now. Powering everything down. 🙏🙏🙏 Pray for me! 😂

Danny, so I have been searching for 3mm ID barb to 1/4 inch push to connect stem adapter & I'm coming up empty. Do your dosers use the same size tubing as X10? (3mm ID x 5mm OD). If so, where did you find those?

Ok, not sure what I was remembering then, or not remembering. X10 it is for dosing. Thank you.

I dove head first into Hydros nearly a year ago and purchased a lot of stuff, X10 being one of them. At the time there was a lot of hype about Maven & if I remember correctly, Maven will need an X10 or something to deliver the tank water/reagents for testing. I believe it would need 3 of the 4...

John, huge relief! I was confident they were correct but after everything I went through I was questioning everything. Thanks so much for the solder job too, looks great!

My mess. It's ugly. Once it's all in I'll go back & do some cable management. Ok! 3rd Kraken installed. Seems fine, but I posted a Pic of the status screen. Does anyone see anything amiss? It currently has only 1 FP in used running the Varios 4 skimmer pump. X4 added too. Connected my two...

Forgot to attach!

Hi John, here are photos of the Sicce pump controllers & the power supply. Please let me know if I can provide anything else. FYI I tried texting these to your phone but it won't go through for some reason 🤷 Thank you for the help! Ken

Absolutely agree with everything you said. I would be very appreciative if you have a look, need to make any repairs, and you would have zero liability in all of this. I will get you pics of the Power supplies, controllers, pump body, everything you would need. If you want to DM your address I...

Thank you for all of this input John. CV is kind enough to let me try again with Kraken. Another one is enroute as we speak & I disconnected & unmounted the Dead X3/Dead Kraken & shipped those to the CV engineer. Michael says their engineer is chomping at the bit to look at these & figure this...

John thanks for the input. Just got off the phone with Michael. The Kraken and X3 are dead. He suspects a surge through the CB killed both. I plugged in the Meanwell and put the meter to the setting you described. The meter read 0.00 but I also got a spark coming out of the black side when I...

See video. I'm not an electrician. Maybe this makes sense.

I have these electrical tools here now. I know how to use the small pen, I do not know how to use the meter. If you could tell me which setting the meter goes to I assume I could plug in the Meanwell/Kraken then unplug the output on the mean well and put red to red and black to black?

John, to answer your question about what the Kraken/Meanwell is plugged into. It has always been plugged in directly to a receptacle, NOT plugged into the Launch. It has always been plugged in directly to its own power source. This was a well thought out and well planned project. Sump is plumbed...

Does Kraken have a fuse inside of it maybe?

John, that means a lot right now. While CV has been responsive & very willing to help, one thing I have not heard from them is, "We are sorry this is happening", so thanks for that. CV put a $700 hold on my credit card when they sent the new Kraken until they got the old one back, so I boxed...

Well, it seems my cheers and excitement came far too soon. Below is a copy/paste of an email I just sent to Michael at CV support. Quite shocking and amazing, really. Screenshots attached too. I literally just got done getting out ALL my bricks and hooking it all back up to the power strip yet...

Happy to report the new Kraken is doing what it is supposed to! No issues running both 7.0 pumps for +24 hrs now. If it keeps chugging along I'd consider buying another one for tank side of the wall to power my lights (three XR15's & 4 AI Blades). It should power all of those with the same...

6+ hrs, still going.
