I love my Apex. It has simplified everything so much!

With Kids there's no way I could keep a tank without the Apex.

THE best purchase I've made for the tank.

Automation is my Career, so programming either one is not tough. But I do like the Apex style of programming better. One thing would lean me to RA is salinity probe. I am a gadget freak too. But have to be usefull. Salinity isnt totally needed, but would be nice when I'm away. Honestly, I don't check tank params much, mostly softies and everything thrives. I ass some when I do a W/C, based on the levels I have found IO salt to be lacking, Thats it. I would like to try dosing, But need more time to experiment with that.

Yes, it is, but it is expensive.... I don't care about salinity. Once I change water, mine doesn't change.

What I would like, though, is a probe to monitor my Calcium and Alk. I am constantly testing those, and adjusting my dosing manually. It would be so nice if my Apex could do that. Maybe some day...

Well I got one. Got back at 9pm last night, Had it working (Not on tank) by 1AM Like it so far. Going to try the seasonal temps and lighting. By those, my tank is WAY warm! Might help on my power bill too HAHAHA
