I like the control on it. I could see them adding more equipment based off of it.
Ya I really like the idea of having it controlled with fusion but to add more pump its gonna cost me another 340 something..and it will have a safety feature if I get the container with the sensor lots of great things about it..

I like the concept of the DOS and their new pump but there's other things I want to get for my tank. Love my Apex tho!

I think it's going to be a hit, but this would be a big hit to the wallet. I'm hoping someone local gets one so I can check it out in action!

I very much like the quality of the build.

However I wish it was available as a standalone unit.

I love my Apex but am getting uncomfortable with letting it control any more of my tank operation. I don't have a contingency for it going out on me other than having my ecotech pump running independently and with battery backup.

wow - I can't believe the price on these things. I saw the RB article and they certainly seem well made, but man alive. This is for only 2 heads?!

BTW - I know and appreciate all the merits of the apex concept, but there's no way I could justify spending a grand for an apex kit plus dosing pumps. Just my opinion

They look great but expensive. The stepper motor they use is very high quality so this is a pump for life for sure. I picked up a Pacific Sun Kore 5th doser with 5 heads, computer controlled and included ATO and couldn't be happier. The new GHL looks awesome as well. I too run an apex but like having a few things not run by it :)

Still not out there yet? I like the idea of the sensors but at higher cost than 4 BRS dosers, it's a harsh cost.
