Rivergardennursery Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Day 4 readings, ammonia still raising, hope the tank cycles in about 3 weeks, also having to try lights off durning the night, so not sure how what that might do to the cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivergardennursery Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Really like the readings from the Seneye. Tempted to get one now. Let me know, I can get them Also thought it was cool that it sends me an email when something is out of line. I did talk to them today and they are working on a lower PH slide as well, for planted tanks. DETAquarium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi Rivergardennurseray, Are you running your lights for 3 weeks 24/7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivergardennursery Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi Rivergardennurseray, Are you running your lights for 3 weeks 24/7? I did for the first few days, but I have had to turn them off at night. They will go back to full on after this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Now, I will leave the lights on for 3 weeks or until cycled. I added the Seneye Reef to watch the cycle. I added the WIFI option image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Can you explain which of the devices are what? Do you need both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivergardennursery Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Can you explain which of the devices are what? Do you need both?One device is in the water, that requires the slides to get the readings. The "Home" version gives the basic readings, the "Reef" version gives the same readings but adds the light meter.The deceive is plugged into the another device outside the water that connects to the Internet. You have two options for the connect to the Internet. 1. Plug the outside of the water divice into a PC via a USB cable and your done. This is fine if you have an extra PC and you can keep it on next to your tank. 2. Plug the outside of the water device to another product they sell for wifi. I chose the second option. It cost a lot more but I did not have an old computer laying around I could keep it hooked up to. The device inside the water has a cable that runs to the device outside the tank. The outside tank device has a plug to an outlet, and the wifi needs power as well, so just an FYI, you will need access for two more plugs. This is with the optional wifi device This picture shows both options Vpier and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Arent you worried about a algae breakout if running the lights 24/7? Those seneye devices are awesome, great for monitoring the cycle process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivergardennursery Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 12 days now. I had the opportunity to leave the lights on over the weekend and look at the tank now. Ammonia looks to be still moving up, but I bet it starts heading in the correct direction very soon. The green is starting to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
