I just received an Apex alarm notification per below:

Status: ON
Statement: Temp is less than 76.0 (77.6)
Date: 2024-03-05 10:50:47 -0600

Followed by the OFF notification:

Status: OFF
Statement: Alarm is off
Date: 2024-03-05 10:53:29 -0600

My log frequency is 5min so checking my temperature log doesn't indicate a temperature excursion below the reported 77.6F. (See attached).

My only thought it maybe my temperature probe is going out and had a momentary reading error below the 76.0F trigger. What I don't understand though is if that were the case, why did the alarm proceed to report a recording of 77.6F? This is to state the obvious that 77.6F > 76.0F...

Anyone have a similar experience?

UPDATE: I've been told we had our power go out at the same period in which I received the above alert. I'll chalk it up to that.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
