sounds like a network problem if it is working with your phone still....is your PC and controller both on a wired network of wireless ?

If it's an "Apex" as far as I know it doesn't work with aqua notes.

I think aqua notes is for the older neptunes.

Just copy and paste this into your web browser:

http://apex/status.sht

Or maybe just click on it?

That should take you to the Apex. The Apex has it's own acess software so Aqua notes isn't needed nor compatible...as far as I know.

Bryan, if you say it I believe you, but this is where I got the info from on the Neptune site:

NOTE: AquaNotes does not work with the Apex line of AquaControllers. The web server is full featured in the Apex controller so AquaNotes is not required. With a standard web browser monitoring, control, and configuration is available on the Apex.

Again, I don't doubt you, I just had to make sure I wasn't losing it...although this doesn't really prove all that much in that regard :)

I don't have an Apex and am totally clueless on the matter but I was trying and would have probably only added more confusion LOL but glad it's working :D

Where do i get the url for my controller?

I responded to your PM, here is a copy.

Did you read step 3 on reef chat? You have to set up a static url. Usually the URL you get from your ISP will change now and then.

To get your current url, go to What Is My IP Address? Lookup IP, Hide IP, Change IP, Trace IP and more... that will give you the IP address of your computer. The reef chat instructions will tell you where to find out the extension to your ISP for the Apex. I think it's under the network tab on the apex.

One piece of advice (I wish I had known) somethings change instantly when editing the sig gen on reef chat, but most stuff will take 10 minutes or so to update. I saw color change but other stuff didn't and I went back and started changing things and the first solution would have worked if I had waited, but when I saw the color change I though everything had changed and what I tried didn't work. I added about 4 hours onto the task because of this.

Once you get it all set up, and put into your signature, you will need to send Travis a PM asking him to allow it. Since you're a premium member he will. It won't show up until he takes care of it.
