Here you go,


The Apex controller is for the most part is a duplicate of the older Aquatronica acq-110 and acq-115 controller systems. The Apex adopted many of the hardware layouts and programming features that Aquatronica had been using for over 12 years, including USB type interconnections, powerbars with USB ports, external modules for probes, leak detectors, our own brand of float switch that just plugs in etc.

The Aquatronica touch is a new Generation that goes past both systems by using the best of both the time proven parts of the older Aquatronica, like PowerBars and modules and adds in a new set of features that set a whole new standard.

1) Full 7” color touch screen, see all parameters of your tank at a glance, no need to get out a tablet or go to a computer, everything is right there in front of you, and all of it can be programmed just as easily with or without an internet connection or running any special cloud based software.
Even full color graphs can be displayed on the controller for all probes and sensors. LED lighting can be graphed for each spectrum right on the controller. All of this can also be done on a computer tablet or phone but when your nest to your tank you don’t have to get out an extra device, it’s all their on a high quality color screen.

2) Clear wording of all parameters, probes, plugs, and all other accessories, no symbols on the screen for each parameter or short cryptic 3 letter names. It’s written plainly in front of you so that it’s easy to know all your parameters.

3) Float switches and leak detectors can be plugged straight into the power bars, they don’t require you to spend an extra $75 to hook up a leak detector and Aquatronica does not a special box that requires wire stripping and screw terminals to hook up float switches.

4) Apex powerbars can be programmed to fall back to an On or Off state if the controller loses power. Aquatronica powerbars actually have their own internal processor and will continue to run timers and do events even if the power is lost.

5) 2 Real PC USB ports included, along with an SD card slot. All Data can be backed up to either of these and so can your stored graphing information. You can use one USB port to just plug in a $19 WiFi dongle and use wifi to connect your controller to the Net.

6) Aquatronica is fully Plug and Play with its modules, not partially plug and play.

7) With the SMS module which has its own built in battery it can be programmed to contact you in the event of a complete power outage or other alarm when no UPS or other power available. If you do have a UPS it can tell the controller to power down all unnecessary equipment and go into survival mode to stretch out the UPS power.

8) All plug outlets on the power bar are full power connections, none of them are limited to small values like 5A and get can get stuck on by lower power devices, all are 10A with 3000W total capability per bar, and it uses reliable technology with 12 years of real world usage.

9) Four programmable buttons that can be programmed to launch programs such as feed mode or even complicated water change routines.
Event Sequence programming.

10) Programmed reminders of things you need to do on an annual, monthly weekly or on a daily basis. For example change GFO can be set to as a reminder for the 3rd day of each month at 9pm.

11) XYZ programming has been taken to new levels with the Aquatronica touch, it now allows for many multiple devices to become involved in the decision to make something happen.


I will try to get you guys more if you need, but please the website has all this information with youtube videos to enjoy with the kids over some popcorn..

Thank You .
