My reef octopus 200 is a pain, I wanted to have it turn off at night through the reef keeper but every time I restart it, it makes racket till it gets going, sometimes I am unsure if it will even go at all if I dont plug the pump inlet with my finger...... then it gets going and its a beast, I replaced the pump recently and it does its job.....

Its great at what it does, just wish it would start up normal..
