DaveFason Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 With the new Bluefish Mini becoming a standard and over 50 people receiving them this week/weekend I wanted to make sure there was no confusion. Plug the USB power supply into power, insert WIFI card, download APP ( Google Play or Apple App Store ) and connect Bluefish to tablet/phone device. bluefishhookup by NanoBoxReef, on Flickr Plug the controller plug into Bluefish. With the arrow facing UP plug the controller plug into the 2nd set of pins. bluefishhookup1 by NanoBoxReef, on Flickr Simple as that! Hope this clears things up for a few people. -Dave Link to comment

Plantedbliss Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Just received my new Tide with Bluefish Mini, thanks for all the awesome work Dave! Can't wait to keep seeing all the progression. Link to comment
SgtBhaji Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I was struggling with mine until I remembered that wifi was switched off on my phone. I still have an unlimited plan so rarely have wifi on. After that confusion, it worked like a charm. Link to comment

flobees Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hi Dave I got the full bluefish from u with a duo about 6 months ago but I have a second tank and have a Kessil to go with that tank thinking of getting the mini to control the duo and the full bluefish for the Kessil. I know that I need a cable to connect the Kessil to the full bluefish but do I need different connection for the duo to the mini? Thanks Link to comment

flobees Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks Dave. I am still considering the Bluefish Mini. Contemplating getting the Apex though. But if I do go with the Bluefish I will contact you. Thanks so much, love my lights only reason I went with Kessil this time was i could not pass up the price tag I got it for. Thanks again Link to comment
deathbyart Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Alright. This looks easy but I feel stupid.. the app goes into a BlinkUp screen and the WiFi card on the Mini just flashes red. I can't get into the App setting due to naturally the BlinkUp isn't what I WANT. Link to comment

Driftwood58 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If you are connecting a tide and a duo to the bluefish mini do you just plug one into the second set of pins and the other into the third set ? Link to comment
deathbyart Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 is your Wi-Fi password protected? Yes, which I attempted both 2.4 and 5g. This thread is the exact problem but unfortunately it was fixed by "sent email". http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/358387-electric-imp-no-lights-cant-control-help-please/ Link to comment

deathbyart Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Curious what was it? -Dave I don't wanna tell.. it's embarrassing. haha. I just didn't do the original screen blinking thing correctly. Link to comment
flobees Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 hi Dave I got the cables and the mini today. Now can you let me know how do I attach the cable for the duo. Thanks Link to comment
flobees Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Love the Mini case thanks Dave Link to comment

DaveFason Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I just received and connected my Tide today and I LOVE it! Great good, Dave! When I paired my phone with the Bluefish controller, it said to make sure the output was 5v. I looked through the Bluefish manual and it advised the same, depending on which driver is used. Do I need to change the output voltage jumper or has it already been done? This is for the full Bluetooth. You are set. No need to freak out, it won't blow up for another four years -Dave Link to comment
kimberbee Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I cant get blink up to work. My card is blinking, then I point it while really close at my flashy android screen. It says configuring, and then fails. Link to comment
