Reef keeper SL1

[Zen Reef]

With probes preferable. Apparently I was misled and you need an SL1 to run a temp probe off an RKE. So if anyone has one, let me know please.

Tuan, check out the SL2, it does temp and salinity (once DA fixes their probe). The SL1 does temp and ORP, unless you're planning on running ozone, ORP isn't very helpful. Salinity could be.

Ya def going sl2 once da gets it together..it's back ordered ATM though. Figured I'd do the sl1 for now to at least get temp monitoring in.

[Teeb]

True, I heard they released the SL2V2, that was supposed to fix the problems with the conductivity probe, don't know if they ever followed through with it though.

I sent them my sl2 months ago still waiting..

*sigh* I remember a few months ago I was telling Louis "dude all I need is a power strip and I'm good...."

You don't need a sl1 are sl2 to monitor your temp all u need is a itemp prob

[Zen Reef]

Itemp probes don't run on an rke. It will run on a lite but not the elite. Perhaps someone with actual experience with the RKE will chime in and clarify.

the reef keeper elite will not run the temp probe with serial bus connection. you need the one that plugs into the temp connection on a sl1 or sl2. that's why the package comes with a sl1.

Your Itemp plugs into the pc4 not the RKE if u look on the RKE it will give u a error for itemp due to it not being plugged into the pc4 maybe t you have the temp prob for the sl1are 2 maybe you are trying to use the wrong temp prob

Ok then dis regard my statement

I'm going to have to go back to college to understand what the heck you all are talking about.

That's what I gathered as well. Thanks for the confirmation.

your correct when hooking up the temp probe for the reef keeper lite

[Thawk7464]

I never knew the itemp didn't work for the RKE but it's good to know for when I upgrade to the RKE

I am about to do a tank tear down and have an sl1 with a ph probe. I can let it go for $55.
