Reefkeeper Lite

[Jim]

Good evening all, i have a 125g setup and recently purchased the Reefkeeper Lite. Does anyone have one and know how to program/set it up ? Thanks......

I can but have to be physically there. kinda hard to put in words, what are you trying to do

[Jim]

I'm trying to program it to run my pump, skimmer and lighting. No instructions came with it and the website user guide is very vague. I figured out how to set up the day/time and the temp probe, and also figured out how to turn on the outlets on the PC4. I'd like the lights to tun on and go off at a certain time. I live in Schertz. Thanks....

I have a elite but programming is pretty much the same...

Go to the channel(outlet) you want to set up and press enter, it should say device, then press enter and select what you have plugged in. If you're doing lights then select it and it will go into scheduling.....

Same for pump and skimmer, each are in the menu after you select device. Both leave on until you figure out how to set up standby for feedings or water changes, where you would select auto....


Hope that helps..

Dont forget to save after scheduling each channel... Or else it wont...

[Jim]

OK I'll give it a shot. Many thanks......!

Did it come with the USB adapter to plug into your computer? That made promising mine a breeze.. You just have to download the program from their website

[Jim]

Yes it came with the USB adaptor but my tank is nowhere near my computer, cord won't reach. I went to the website and downloaded the manual. Did what it says step by step, but cant program the outlets. I programmed the standby mode to shut off pump for feeding, but it didn't shut it off.

Cause its not set in auto..... Probably just in on/off mode... Or maybe just on.

Where do you live? Do you have wifi?

[slm222]

If it's not already wired in and attached to your stand you could turn it all off for about 30 min and take it by your computer and while your programming you can label each plug after you set it in the computer. I set mine up like that a week before I installed it on the tank.

[Jim]

I live in Schertz and yes I have wifi

[Jim]

I programmed the outlets to the ON mode to turn them on.

[350gt]

They need to be in auto to respond to standby modes.

[Jim]

It's already hooked up to my tank.

[Jim]

I set it in auto, but the outlet turned off and my pump shut down. so I set it back to on.

What is your full program.
