mpad Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Is it possible to control two different setups with one controller? So if you had a tank with a display refugium and you want different operating times or location simulation than the main display. So can the controller and app handle multiple setups? Or do I need one controller for each setup / scenario? Sorry if this has been asked before... Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 One controller, just an extra moduleWhat exactly does that mean since the Bluefish environment has no 'modules'?

The controller can run as many tanks and as many combinations as you have channels for. If one tank you want five channels and the second you want four, its not possible unless you combine some to get a total of six channels between the two. Link to comment

It was mainly the question if the app allows different settings per channel and if the controller can save theese with internal clock. etc. I have only seen the app in action for one tank /setup at a time.

You can only set the channel percentages and offsets individually, everything else (start/end times, ramp style and times, etc) are controller-wide. Link to comment
mpad Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 ah OK, so I misinterpreted before. so for multiple tanks with different settings (start/end times, etc.) multiple controllers are needed. too bad, I was hoping this was more flexible. Still a great offer! But the app can handle multiple controllers, right? or do I have to buy one extra Iphone for every controller Link to comment

My reef Bluefish Mini account is jedimasterben with my normal email address, and my planted tank Bluefish username adds a p and uses +planted at the end of the email, as gmail reads the + as an alias of your normal email and it gets to your normal inbox just the same.

Didn't see this was in the bluefish forum- I thought she meant aquarium controller like Apex or Digital Aquatics Link to comment
