apex questions
I been thinking of adding an apex to my tank, I want one to monitor the temp, ph, and I would like to add a water floor detection to it later on. I really do like the mobile interface for my phone. my question is do I need to buy the starter kit or can I buy the parts separately and add them on. I was looking at the junior kit but it only has four outlets and the classic seems to have more things then I need (orp prob etc). so can I but the 8 outlet and the part that controls that?

You can buy them separately as far as I know. As long as the controller unit has the provisions for the different probes/devices. i.e maybe the display unit doesn't have an ORP port etc

You can for sure buy a extra EB8 for the Jr if you wanted to up your # of outlets.
My question would be why you would want ORP? Unless your running Ozone it's practicaly useless. There conductivity probe is on the same line so finiky and fragile I would never buy a APEX for either of those 2 options.

I have a junior and love it. I do only have a nano tank. I added a wxm to control my radion light and mp 10. Love being able to control things over my phone. I purchased it mainly for temp control but have slowly added to it. Would never go back.

You can buy everything separately but I do suggest you splurge and buy the either the junior or full version then add on as needed
The biggest thing though is if you buy the apex go to Apex's website and follow their step by step setup and updating firmware videos as this is the biggest single complaint about apex is setting up and updating can be a challenge
