Please help!!!! I left for work this morning and everything was working on the tank. The wife called he and told me the power went out so I asked her to check the tank and she said the only thing running was the MP40. I have that pluged stright intot he power strip where the reefkeeper is pluged into in case the power went out and the keepkeeper messed up. Well im glad i did becuase the reefkeeper is not turning back on. I had her turn the power strip off then back on and still nothing. Is there a way to reset the reefkeeper?

So is the mp40 on a completely different strip? Or is it on the pc4?

Id recommend plugging it in and then redoing the programming.

No the whole reefkeeper is plugged into a power strip that plugged into the wall. The MP40 is plugged into that power strip so that it would keep running if the reefkeeper went out like it has. That's why I know there's power going to the reefkeeper

I'd try reprogramming it. Had a similar issue sans he power outage and it took a reboot on the computer to fix the problem. Did y'all have a storm? Any chance the rkl fried? Are the devices in the pc4 working?

OK so everything is now working fine. I had to drive all the way home to fix it. I guess it needed time to reboot. All I had to do was turn off each PC4 for like 10sec then turn them back on. Everything started right up. Thanks for the input Zack.

Weird, ive had numerous power outages and they came right back on when power was restored...

Which reminds me, i need to set a delay on my skimmer so it doesn't kick on right away...
