I posted this over on the apex forum, but thought I would try here as well:
I am looking for a little help in my setup. I have a tank in the living room, which is on the midlevel of a townhouse. I have decided I would like to get the Apex Gold, and I am going to get a DOS pump to do automatic water changes. The water change barrels will begin the garage, which is the lower level of the house, and I will need to run about 40 feet or so of tubing to the tank from there. Where the issue comes in is I would like to put the DOS down by the water tanks, and I also want to put a breakout box down there for float switch control in the AWC.
I have found a place that makes 75 foot bus cables, but I am trying to figure out if thats the best way to do this. I am also going to need a EB4 down there for the mixing pump, a heater, and such. Price wise its almost worth getting an Apex JR, which would come with the EB4, and a temp probe.
The big question is would I be able to have the jr communicate with the main apex? If I were to get an Apex jr, I would set it up in the garage room. My biggest concern is I would like the dos to be able to shut off if the float switches in the sump are too high, or too low. However, those switches will be connected to the man Apex Gold.
Any help is appreciated!
