    I think you were mistaken when setting the ph hysterisis. You put .30, which means you will swing 6.7 - to 6.4. I think you want 0.03. :) Thanks for the video!

    • @ReefDudes

      i just checked the ghl graph and its goes from 6.7 > 6.86

    • @MrHCMSS
      @MrHCMSS 3 роки тому

      Yes. Hysteresis of 0.3 means a 0.15 swing either side of the nominal value.

    Sup Dudes good work as usual. I do think you should always always have a light on when you shoot video under any tank.

    I think a calcium reactor will be the next big upgrade. Maybe next year though. I forgot how cool this reactor looks.

    How you like the GHL P4, it seems kind of slow or is the just wifi connection speed? How you do you like it compared to the Apex, especially for day to day use as well as advance use like setting up a CalRx?

    • @ReefDudes
      @ReefDudes  3 роки тому

      Apex interface is more snappy than Ghl. Apex uses aws where as Ghl serves it up directly. I was going out to the Internet then back in to it rather then connecting local which is why it was a bit slower. They both have their pro / cons so it’s a toss up

    • @jasony816
      @jasony816 3 роки тому

      What is aws? Yeah would you ever do a long term review of both since you have used both on your systems compared to others that just “test” it and give their opinion but no real long term use.

      You can replace the tubing in it. I replace the continuous duty ones (calcium reactor / auto water changes ones ) every 4-5 months
