Looking at possibly purchasing

Mrramsey · 03/23/2018, 12:47 PM

I am considering the purchase of the neptune Apex but have a few questions about getting everything I am needing / wanting.

I would like the following:

Temp x2
pH
Salinity
ORP
10 outlets could maybe get by with 8
6 switches (i.e float or optical)
Doser for 2 part

Lights are on their own controller for now and I have 2 Jebao RW-8 wavemakers that have their controller unless there is a cable available to tie into the APEX?

What is the question?
If you want 2 temp probes you will need a PM1 module.
The new Apex does measure ORP; Salinity and PH.

For 10 outlets you will need either an additional EB8 or EB4.

6 Switches you can use either breakout box and/or FMM module. The FMM module can use 4 switches (Optical; Leak Sensors). The Breakout box can be used for float sensors; I use both the breakout box and FMM module.

I have 3 float sensors to my breakout box. One is for my ATO Reservoir if empty; Second one is for my Sump too low; Third Sump too high; Optical Sensor one for now use it for emergency sump too high probably will add more and have 2 leak sensors to the FMM. One for floor; other for pump leak attached to hose with paper towel for false readings.

Lights it depends on what your using. I think Jebao is able to be used with an Apex Controller
