Hi Rob, thanks for the reply.
Will have a go with v5.20 and that setting when the tank has been running a while, I just transferred the fish over today and de commissioned the old tank today so will give them a while to settle in. The schedules are working ok at the moment.
The temp readings on 2 of the sensors (I have 3 on the tank, sump in, sump out and one in the tank) are jumping up and down by about 1 deg C and also showing HI max readings of 60 deg C, one seems pretty stable (the one I have set to control the heaters) but the heaters (3x 300w) are all coming on at once not stages as they are set up (1st at 25.7, 2nd at 25.4 and 3rd at 25.1 so it generally uses only 1 heater unless that can't cope) and even if the tank sensor is at 26 deg C
The temp/humidity is totally fine!
I will try different sensors over the next few days and see what they do.
Regarding flow sensors I have a 10000 lph pump on the tank yet the highest the flow will read is 1400 lph when set at 1.0 hz, if I set it at 4.5hz (F=4.5 * Q (L / Min) or 270 pulses/litre) it reads about 350lph.
The flow sensor I have should be able to read up to 7500lph which would be about what I should have (some to the reactor and some to the fuge plus the pipework restrictions)
Are there any plans to be able to use a maybe 7 inch hdmi touch screen display on your new Reef-Pi at all, that would be much easier than having to use a phone or computer?
