You're welcome.

I was blowing the dust from the rocks today with turkey baster like I always do and suddenly wrasse jumped out from the tank and landed on the carpet ! I took him so from the ground ... and put it back in the water. And only after noticed that I've grabbed with the fish SO MANY DOG HAIR ! OMG! Dozens of them floating now all around the reef .... I've passed 15 mins to catch them all one by one hehehehe, I was lucky that I have a hard hair dog and it wasn't so difficult. But any way ... wasn't very fun as experience.

Oh no my torch is dead! Looks like it was brown jelly disease, when I took it out from the tank the smell was soooooo terrible ! And brown substance was dripping from inside .... Was my favorite ....

Gorgeous reef!

Awesome setup looking forward to more uodates

drewkleine · Dec 2, 2015

Very nice Pico! I was wondering if you could shed some light (ha) on your Kessil settings you were running? Duration, intensity, etc. Thanks!

Berlibee · Dec 2, 2015

Thank you guys! Sure it was very simple Intensity 65% / Color 35% but I was changing color time to time: Start at 9:00am at 5% ramp to 2pm 65% ---------- then down from 6pm 65% to 9pm 0%.
I've already installed the new light. Need to understand now how to add MP10 to Apex WXM module, it won't connect at this moment ... need to do some research.

drewkleine · Dec 2, 2015

What light did you go to?

Berlibee · Dec 2, 2015

Decided to go for Radion XR30w PRO Gen3.

Berlibee · Dec 3, 2015

Ok the Radion XR30w PRO Gen3 is working now. Running in manual acclimatization mode by Apex.

Program: ( with help from Dean Donaldson )

Each step will be adjusted by 3-4% every two days. What will give 45% ramp in the next 28 days. So maximum intensity during the day will be 50% at the end of acclimatization period.

Check out the Neptune site for information connecting your MP10 to the Apex. See their community forums too under the support tab, lots of helpful programming info.

Berlibee · Dec 3, 2015

Thank you man, did all these steps already and many other variations. Not working. Talking with the support now.

I hope it will work.

SaltMan · Dec 3, 2015

Does your Apex see the Wireless Expansion Module (WXM) in the Apex Module List?
An altenantive login directly through your router is http://apex

Neptune Systems also has a Comprehensive Reference Manual
https://www.neptunesystems.com/downloads/docs/Comprehensive_Reference_Manual.pdf

Berlibee · Dec 3, 2015

Yes I've Radion attached to WXM with no problems. Tried this too, not working.

SaltMan · Dec 3, 2015

Sorry you can't get the wireless MP10's to attach to the Apex with the setup procedure (clearing pumps memory/reset/assign), hope Neptune support can help you out. Don't give up as the Apex is a really nice system, gotta be something.
