Hello all. Well the Neptune has been setup a couple of months and I wanted to do a code review with you all. I want to make sure I am getting the most out of my Neptune system and maybe see if there is any programming I can do better or things that need to be changed. Safety and fail safes of the utmost importance!
Here is what I have
Hardware
Neptune Apex
EB8x2
VDM
WXM
Breakout Box w/1 float valve in sump
Standard PH Probe - Display PH
Lab Grade PH Probe - CA Reactor
Intended future purchases
Water sensor (waterbug maybe?)
Outlets
EmailAlm_I5

If Switch1 CLOSED Then ON
If Temp > 82.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If pH > 08.40 Then ON
If pH < 07.80 Then ON
If pH2 > 07.20 Then ON
If pH2 < 06.60 Then ON

As im sure you can tell with all my programming most everything is in my sump. If the float closes then it shuts everything in there off so nothing runs dry. I was thinking about running another float in the sump near the top which will let me know if it overflows but I think the only way this will happen is if my return line siphon holes don't add air and break the back siphon. I was also thinking about adding a float to the DT but again it will shut off the pump if the sump gets too low, didn't really see a need there.
I guess my auto top-off could malfunction and I could add a float in the sump to prevent it from overflowing with fresh water. However, I have a Tunze Osmolator and it seems pretty rock solid.
Any tweaks you can see that I can make to my programming? Things I can add to this setup to get more functionality? Maybe a conductivity probe? Water sensors? Anything else?
Thanks for taking the time to look at this!
