Multiple AWC

[MMcKenna1029]

I have a question regarding AWC in multiple tanks. The precanned programming for the AWC is pretty slick and I just ordered dosing pumps to set this up for the main tank. What I would like to do though is setup an AWC that does the following:

• Pulls water from Frag QT tank to waste
• Refills frag QT from display sump
• Refills display sump from fresh salt water

Any thoughts on how to make this work?

Thanks,
Matt

You can try using the auto water change for the first one scheduled first but assign no fill pump. Then schedule the second one to start after the first one drains. Then drain from the second one into the first one and use the first ones full sensor as the drain sensor on the second tanks drain. then use a fill pump from the fresh salt water to fill the second one. You will defiantly need to set some maximum on times and set to run past the max on time to off with this. So basically the drain pump for the second one acts as a fill pump for the first one. Note I have no way to try this myself so make sure and test it and to be there when it does this the first few times to male sure it works the way you want it to.

Danny, Thanks for the thought. To start I am going to setup the main display AWC and then I'll start playing from there. My thought has always been that setting it up like this would allow the frag QT tank to sit at the same parameters as the main tank but perhaps not worth it... We shall see.

Thanks,
Matt
