I would be using the Apex for temp, ph, alk monitoring mainly...right?...
I definitely like how it has the iphone interface and the alerts...
Thanks for all the info thusfar Dazed1.....

Correct. The radions will do that too, but having the ability to control everything from a single app is priceless. The vortech can be controlled by the APex.

You would use the apex not just for monitoring temp, ph, sailnity, but can also use it to get complex with dosing schedules based on ph reading, auto top off systems, alarms for sump flood, high temps, low temps, starting fans / heaters based on temp. You can also control starting the heater only if the lights are off (if you have hot MH's), or fans /chillers.

Basically anything that you can think of that can follow a logical flow, you can program with either controller.
