Hello

I have purchased 2 of the geek techs stc 200 for each of my tanks. Both are heat/chill units. My one unit for my second tank turned off and will not turn back on. I've checked the power boxes that are attached inline with the power cable and both are showing blue lights. Because both units are the same I tried switching the plugs from the one that works and still nothing. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fuse inside that needs replacement? Is there something that need reset. The unit that quit was purchased in october of this year. That other one that is still working is from June of this year and is working fine. Did I buy a bad machine or is this just a run of bad luck. Luckily I have a backup heater to fall back on just for this reason. I bought both units from a eBay store. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I've tried to contact the seller because I bought a 2 year warranty on both of these and have yet to hear anything.

stc 200 is a cheap chinese temp controller and there are lots of clone models that are made by different factories and rebranded stc 200 200+ 2000 2000A.  I would re-check every setting in the admin menu to make sure there are no errors.  If the sensor works on the other controller you know its not a broken sensor.  Hopefully seller will look after you.  If not find out who made it and contact them.

If you disconnect the sensor you should see an error light or error code and this will tell you the main processor is at least working.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
