My KH is now 5.8 dKH so although I have increased the dose to 40ml day from 30ml it has still dropped I have now increased to 48ml day & have also raised the Ca from 16ml day to 20ml day as it had dropped slighty.
Hi Leigh
I was just so glade that I found out why it wasn't working properly.
Hi Glenn
Never thought of using screwdriver I've got one that I have sharpened for making holes in the rock or digging out Aqua Knead-it that I could of used someone also suggested that they use a drill bit of that size.
Hi Tom
Seems to be a common problem something to watch out for.
Hi Greg
The frags are doing well seem to be holding colour but pretty slow growing though they are about twice the size from when I got them, I cleaned out all the chamber for the skimmer & why I was at it cleaned the RSM 2400 pump & chamber also.
Hope you & your family, tank have a happy year.

Realised the other day that I had set my Bubble Magus dosing pump wrong & thats why my Alkalinity was not coming right I thought you entered the amount you wanted for each dose & then told it how many times per day so I had put 12ml 6 times per day which I thought was 72mls but when I put a little plastic holder on the outlet I only got 2mls then I realised that it was dividing 12ml by 6 so you are meant to put the full amount you want dosed each day & then divide by how many times per day you want it dosed so I have started over on dosing.
Ca 15ml / 3 times = 5mls per dose
Mg 10ml / 2 times = 5mls per dose
KH 20ml / 4 times = 5mls per dose
Ca 15ml / 3 times = 5mls per dose
Mg 10ml / 2 times = 5mls per dose
KH 20ml / 4 times = 5mls per dose

Hi Leigh
This one does the same its just the instructions are not translated that well so they are a bit hard to understand.
Thanks for sharing !

Here is the PDF on the timer from Red Sea. You have both AC for the lights and DC for the LEDs and fans running thru the timer. There is a fuse on the timer but I'd think if it poped you would have lost everything. Good luck on the fix!
I don't remember how I got the pins out other than it was a PITA... LOL

Sorry to hear !
Terry ask our Red Sea Rep Kev in http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/red-sea/37228-ask-red-sea.html
Do know... if the fans stop, the lights go out... safety feature to keep from over heating, I am so not dyi, but maybe it's just the need to replace a fan - here the fans are only $9 rsm parts - RSM 250
If the tank is still under warranty (under 1 year old) Red Sea should fix it right away and if not still be able to help you sort it, I would think fans 1st.
You can PM Kev here too (in the US we would PM Avaid)

Hi Tom, Glenn
I believe its the Transformer 1 as the Daylights, Moon Lights, Hood Fans don't work & would you believe it my tank now is probably 1 year & 1 month old since I've had it but at the moment I can't even get the pins out on the side arms for the hood.

Managed to get arm pins removed from the hood now just have to remove covers for screws for the hood to get inside it, wondering if Tranformer 1 can be changed with Transformer 2 & go without water cooling fans until I can get a replacement, not sure what else Transformer 2 operates.
