Rkl issues

Deftones2015 · 11/07/2015, 10:02 PM

My reef keeper lite keeps kicking my heater on and off constantly. Could it be a faulty temp probe or is there a param I need to set differently or what? The constant clicking is very annoying.

It is set for 78 and the temp bounced from 77.9 to 78.1 to 77.9 to 78.0 etc.

Change the hysteresis setting to 1.0 and that will make your heater wait to kick on until the temp drops to 77.5. It will stay on until the temp hits 78.5. That should take care of the problem.
