Help with a controller

[Poseidon]

Hey there guys
i picked up a reef keeper elite 2, today (used)
it came with head unit, 3 powerbars, sl1, sl2 and a net module.
also with a temp and ph probe.

ive read the manual, watch videos online, and i still cant seem to wrap my head around the stupid thing...
is there anyone that wants to come down, have a beer, talk fish and point me in the right direction?
i can give you a frag for your troubles

pm me.
thanks!

bring it up to london on the weekend and I'll show you the ropes.

Did you get the SID hooked up to your computer? once you hook it up to your computer it gets easier. Trying to program the damn thing via the controller is like playing pong on the first video game system

 

[Poseidon]

whats the SID, honest to goodness im about the worst with anything to do with programming etc.

I have a RKL also.  I'm in the same spot.  My apex is so much easier.
I don't see a way to hook it up to my computer.  Maybe because it is the lite.

It looks like a phone line filter

yu will have to throw away the ph probe    If itwas exposed to air unłess it had that lil bottle attached

 

[Poseidon]

ya i figured as much for the ph probe...
well im attempting to set this thing up and i cant even figure out how to connect to my pc...
i feel stupid... i might just have to ask my younger brother to help me... hes the one who takes apart all the computers and rebuilds them

Just sell it off and buy an apex, you'll be mucj happier in the long run

The problem with any 'controller' is that flexibility adds complexity. A light switch only does one thing, but man is it easy to use. The key is finding the sweet spot of flexibility and complexity. For each person that is different.  So if the controller was dead simple it probably wouldn't do much.  Of course, some designs just suck.

Good to see you got it working.
