aquarium use

In an aquarium your seneye device should be attached using the supplied suction cup. Position the seneye device close to the filter or in an area of high flow to ensure sufficient water flow around the device.

If you are using the Ambient light meter then we recommend you attach the seneye device to the front of your aquarium. If you wish to take more precise ambient light meter readings you can use the optional seneye Float which will suspend your seneye device underwater but with the light meter pointing directly towards your aquarium lighting.

pond use

You can place your seneye device inside your pond filter or float it on the surface of your pond. If you are using your seneye device in the filter then we would recommend you position it so if you have a leak the seneye device will not remain submerged - if your seneye device is connected to an internet enabled PC you can choose to receive an alert if this happens.

You can leave the seneye device floating in your pond, however if you would like to know if your pond has a leak we suggest you teather the cable to the side of the pond so if the water level does drop the device is held out of water.
