Hey Reefers,
I just purchased a Bubble Magnus Curve D8 for my 90% rebuild; my first DC Skimmer. I haven't seen too much about it thought. It came in last week and I decided to place it in the old sump to start the break-in process. Silent & DC Control (just what I like). However, I tested another feature, Turning Off and ON whenever I am doing maintenance, water change, etc (via APEX Fusion/Local) and the TURN ON failed. I can see power going into the power brick once the set timing code (5 minutes delay) in APEX has ran (It lights up green). In order for the skimmer to start running, I have to manually Press the Skimmer Controller, so it can turn on; instead of what I assume is, once power goes to it, the skimmer automatically turns on. It is the same code I used for my previous non DC-skimmer (SKIMZ 161). Is this common with ALL DC Powered Skimmer or is this particular one an anomaly?
