Aquabus length

[pweissma]

I need to connect an energy bar about about 50 feet from my tank. The run will go through the floor and across my basement. What's the best way to do this? Can I chain 15' extension cables?

I plan to have my ATO, dosing and water changes done from the basement.
Thanks!

Check the user guide page 6. (http://www.neptunesystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/APEX_manual.pdf). It says to limit Aquabus lengths to 200 feet. I'll look to see if I can find the reference again, but they had a recommendation for a vendor who makes custom cables that don't have power boosters in them.

This page has links to their documentation. (http://www.neptunesystems.com/support/docs/)

The Aquabus vendor info is on page 11 here (http://www.neptunesystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Comprehensive-Reference-Manual-.pdf).

Interesting. I did not realize they could go to those lengths. I will have to see if this will make life easier with my remote parasitic pumps/ATO issue.
