Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I clean mine every 6 months or as needed. I soak 1 pump overnight in viniger next day scrub and repeat process with the next pump ,I continue this until all pumps are clean.
If I can remember you can connect up to 240 eb8 to the system.
I went withe the apex cause it was somewhat a plug and play. The other feature I like is the webcam which would allow me to see tank when on vaction an able to turn thing on and off from my phone.
Now the $ difference buy the time...
Apex List of what I control
Frag pump
Frag light
Frag power head
Calcium reactor
DT pump
DT Halides lights
DT t-5
Skimmer
Phosban reactor
Ato
Refugium light
Chiller
3x heaters
I think that it's. but if had more stuff it would be connected to it as well.
Definitely go with the Apex lite and not the jr. you'll have room for advancement in the future. If you have a smart phone try to order the controller without the display it really is a waste cause like myself and others well all probably control the apex via cell phone or laptop.
So by not...
