ReefMat motorized bypass

[Risk1994]

I dose phyto and don't want the mat pulling it out. I purchased a PVC ball valve from amazon and set up an apex controlled reefmat bypass.

• Mornings apex closes the valve and turns on the skimmer and UV.
• Noon the pumps run in nutrient export to stir up detritus.
• Early evening the tap opens, skimmer and UV shut off and I dose phyto (working on automating the phyto dose)

Here it is in action (note the red indicator in the window).
