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...

Did you jumper the connector for both + and - ? Otherwise, not sure what else to tell you. Too bad I don't have an extra M16 female connector.

BTW, sorry I didn't respond sooner. I never received a notification on the thread. I just happened to check on the forum and saw this light up.

The SDC 3.0 was easy....it was a straight barrel connector right into the SDC controller. Nothing to wire up!

I do have a Sicce SDC 3.0 I use to stir my refugium. I setup the Sicce key in the app. You are limited to the number of times you can change it. I believe the limited number of times includes how often you set the programming to change. For example, if you run it at 50% for a couple of hours...

That is strange. I pretty much every Force port used on my Kraken. I have two ReefRun 7000, one ReefRun 5500, and a DC pump for the RSK300 skimmer, which I assume is close to the 5500. I also have the ReefDose, ReefMat (both 12v) and a Minnow connected. No issues with shutdowns. The 7000's...
