If your telus device is a router then you need port forwarding on your telus router. If that is the case then you are double routing with the apple router wich makes things more complicated and in some instances you may not be able to get everything working as not all services will allow double NATing and PATing.
Easiest way might be to plug the apex into the telus router, get it working there. It should still work internally as your apple router will have a route to the subnet of the telus LAN. Or you could look at changing the apple router settings so it isn't routing if you are comfortable with that.

i have been messing around with port forwarding directly on the Telus Actiontec V1000H for hours and after digging around the web it sounds like Telus blocks all inbound ports. Not sure if that is the right lingo but I give up for now

Telus does not block all inbound ports. For starters that would prevent all internet services from working. They do block common ports such as 80. I have a VPN running through my v1000h using port forwarding so I can say for sure that port forwarding does work.
But your situation is a lot more complicated with the apple router as well. With the apex behind the apple router the v1000h forwarding needs to point to the WAN address on the apple and the apple forwarding needs to point to the apex. You need to use a port other than 80. I really don't know if it will ever work in that configuration though as it will be routing, NATing, and PATing twice and a lot of services won't work like that.

I think you're right. Although I don't understand networking very well I'm sure that the use of two routers is making this much more difficult. I'm going to remove the Apple device tonight and give that a shot. I've heard port 8080 is good... any others? thanks again everyone for the help.

I think 8080 is common. I'm using something in the 5000 range for my vpn.

So I successfully connect to my apex using the service here:
http://www.reeftronics.net/network-diagnostic everything checks out and according to the neptune documentation I should now be able to access my controller with my iPhone. I still cannot do this when on wifi or when on 3G. Most of the time the app says "invalid response" and a few times it says "timed out". So I'm getting closer but still not quite there. I entered my dyndns address which I used to perform the reeftronics test and also the port which is 8080. The reeftronics test says the port is open and it successfully downloaded the xml file off my controller. I can access the controller still directly from my browser when inside the network. Any ideas? Thanks! Btw I disconnected the Apple router.
