Used Reef Keeper Problems

[franciscosalazar]

Today I bought a used Reef Keeper Lite.

I'm getting the following message,
"This SID revision does not support myReef! Only revisions 2.0 or higher are supported"
What do I need to do?

I just plugged in the iTemp probe and the headunit displays "iTemp error."
How do i correct that?

I answered your email. I think the iTemp error is probably a firmware issue. Follow what I emailed you and let's see what DA says.

I emailed them prior to receiving your instructions.
I'll bring it over to your place tomorrow and hopefully we can get this straightened out.
What time are you available after 330pm?

 

[porpoiseaquatics]

3:30 until 4:30 tomorrow. You may have to leave it with me.

You need to get the recent SID USB drive in order to use myreef. It should say V2.0 on the USB drive.

Do you know where to find the coupler it needs?

Francisco...there isn't a coupler on the SID V2. I'll show you one when you drop off the kit. Make sure you bring the head unit and the PC4. I'll update both of them.

Try radioshack in the phone and wire isle and at Bestbuy. Take that image with you and possibly someone can show you directly where it is.

Yep....that's it. I had to go look at mine. It's been awhile since I used it last and forgot about that "coupler". I've got one with mine. You can find them at (typically) Target, Walmart, Lowe's, Best Buy, Fry's, or Radio Shack. They're generally just a couple of dollars.

 

[franciscosalazar]

Awesome, I'll bring everything back so we can test it to make sure that all I need to purchase is a coupler and the SID

On my way
