    anyone else get the reefangel?

    i got mine in may, and have been messing around with the code ever since.

    recently Roberto (guy that makes/sells/codes them) has organized the functions and main code into a template, so it's really a piece of cake to set it up to run as you like.

    Just ordered one of these today. Hoping to have a couple apps up and running for it soon. Just wondering what the word is on this unit so far? Any updates/reviews?

    Hello Roberto,

    I have been reading all the posts on here (great questions & answers guys). I would buy one today, but here is my problem. My 90gal display tank is in my theater room & I custom built a fish room in my walkout basement to house my sump/refuge, water changes, RO/DI system, water making, etc.. I have already drilled 2 holes in my brand new hardwood floors to run the plumping. I'm not drilling anymore to run wires to control my lighting & powerheads. I can run a small control wire to link the two locations together like a Apex for example. When are you planing to have this possible?

    Has anyone figure out a stealth mounting option for the Reef Angel yet? I'm thinking about using a panel mount VGA port with a 90* adapter on it, and support the entire unit from the VGA port on the bottom.

    I'm looking at picking one up but I want it to control my calcium reactor as well. I have been unable to find any info on reading PH under 7. Can this controler have 2 PH probes? Can it be set to read PH under 7? My goal is to run auto topoff water through my calcium reactor and then through my kalk reactor to raise the PH. If topoff water is not needed then it would circulate tank water through the reactors. This would save on CO2

    Yes it can measure pH under 7. As long you don't plan on going below 5, you should have no problems. Although it could read below 5, I wouldn't recommend.
    Expansion modules for additional pH probes are not available yet.
