Id start with 50% recommended dosage with low flow and just test for a few days.

hanna for alk, hanna ULR phosphorus, salifert calcium and salifert magnesium are where you want to be. *ad paid for by hanna and salifert*

RichardL has a vent fan, but his is just timer based and not humidity based.

1300 if you want all the rest of the probes. The DO probe is a doozy at 700. A much more reasonable $384 if you skip all the rest of the probes (salinity, ORP, DO)
-
Getting my terminology mixed up. I meant another probe module. You could get a PM1 for additional pH, a PM2 for salinity, and then a PM3 for DO. Each PM box has an extra temp probe. That should get you to 5.
-
What you really need to do is add a breakout box with 4 temp probes. one in the sump, one in the DT, one in the canopy, one ambient in the room. Then route one outside. So 5 total.

Ty - Just Just it

You would just be able to log on/off, but it wouldnt give you a running total of humidity, which would be cool.

OK, so i read a bit more. You need an apex switch box to make this work. You wire in the humidistat to your switch box, and when it kicks on, THEN you can have your apex turn on your fan. If you have the switch box already, this would be the less expensive and more controllable option. I read about it here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1933966 link ($25.09 shipped w/prime)

amazon link ($55.98 shipped w/ prime) I'd be more inclined to go with an outside of apex option. As of now, there is no way to measure humidity in line with the apex (that i'm aware of). So you'd have to be introducing some of your own electrical logic to get that to work right. i.e., apex says temp is too high OR humidity is too high >then> turn on fan. In reality, if your temp gets too high, your evap fan is gonna kick on or you're gonna shut down your halides. I think apex integration is a feature you'd never use.

Super excited about this. Will you have a southern austin fish terminal for those of us that don't venture north of the Colorado ? -

You might be ok in the 0.5-1 range of a swing, but if you get above one it has been my experience that you start to have issues, especially if you're sps heavy.

I'd switch to Hanna Alk checker for more resolution. Alk is by far the most important geochemical parameter. I'm still evaluating the way I test phosphate, but my gut says that the way we are measuring phosphate isn't giving us the full picture. Specifically I believe that the Hanna ulr phosphate doesn't give good enough information to be useful in our measurement range. By we I mean sps keepers.

When your water quality parameters are stable for a few weeks AND it looks happy is when it stays put.

On the bright side, some of the expert acro identifiers could gain employment. Silver linings people. -

I just had an unexplained tissue necrosis issue on a birdsnest also ... Acros slimed up real good as well.
