Some of u know that I was recently in Canada and had issues w/ my tank. I was gone for 11 days and of course when I'm gone I had issues.
Before I left, I hooked up 2 float switches for my ato on my apex. 1 regular on off, and 1 backup failsafe.
Sure enough while I'm working I start receiving emails from the apex telling me the sump is to high. Dan went over and checked it out and found out my float switches failed and that my ATO runs til it emptys the resivour lol.
So I decided to just turn off the auto top off from my phone and as I do that my apex crashes. I loose connectivity with it while I'm gone. I didn't think much of it cause I thought that I just wouldn't be able to turn things on and off and my fiancé was home for doing top offs for me anyways.
Man was I wrong. 2 days later I had my fiancé unplug my apex again just to see if I could get it back online so I can turn my ato back on. Instantly I start receiving emails again from the apex for issues. Turns out when my apex crashed 2 days prior my heaters defaulted to off like they were suppose too...
Tank ended up being 67*. It took 2 days to get down to that temp and it took almost 2 days to bring it back up to my normal 78*. I lost a few sps and a lot of sps looked like they lost color.
But on a side note, my alk is finally up to where it was suppose to be. I'm currently at 9.2dkh. When I checked it 3 weeks ago I was at 4.7dkh
Like I said this tank has been a huge pain in the ass lately. I've been trying to do everything right to prevent issues but I still end up havin them lol. I'm only home for another week before I leave back to Canada for another 6 days so hopefully I can get all the bugs figured out by then.
Sorry for the rant but I'm finally home and pissed that my tank looks poorly.
Currently
0.00 Phos
9.2 dkh
380 calc
So all numbers are in check even after 2 weeks with no water change. Hopefully I get this all figure out and up to where it needs to be again lol
