I've got an Apex jr and want to run two eb8's and two vdm's. Is this possible? Will that leave any room for anything else to be added? Thanks

Yes you can add those to your apex jr, it has room for 5 modules, so 2 eb8's, 2 vdm's, 1 eb4 makes 5 modules, only bad thing is that you cant have anymore modules to check ph, orp, salinity, good luck

Thanks. So the 4 outlets on the base already count as one module?

No, the built-in outlets are not a module
The display counts as a module though.

Ok I have no display. I bought mine last year when they didn't come with it. So does mine still have room for 5 modules or was that an upgrade? I actually see slots for 6 aquabus connections now that I look at it.

They do - if the original poster plugs them in their Apex Jr.
Russ is referring to the 4 outlets on the Apex Jr itself. The Jr looks like an EB4, but has the base unit built-in. You can plug 5 "things" into a Jr.

Not to be pedantic here but what we're really saying is the Jr. can address up to 5 modules. They don't all have to plug into the Jr - they can be plugged into each other in a long daisy chain where only one end of it plugs into the Jr. You're limited to 5 modules but you're not limited in that they all have to plug directly into the Jr.
