Is an Apex really worth it?

That's great. With the Raidons, I read somewhere that you should have 1 per every 40 gallons or 24 inch by 24 inch. How many do I need for the 225 at 72x27x27?

I have 3 over my 72x24x24 and works great

I used the have 5 over a 72" for 3.5 years.
That was after par and photo testing from Ecotech.
They used my tank for testing and marketing.
But was disappointed in the overall after all those years.

Are you able to grow SPS under 3?

Saved my bacon last week. I accidently pulled the power plug out of my ATO while doing some maintenance and didn't realize it. I was at work the next afternoon when I got a text telling my pH was less than 8.0....much less. It was actually 7.0. I knew instantly that pH going from 8.25 to 7.0 in a couple of hours usually means the pH probe is exposed to air. Used my phone to shut my return pump off to keep it from burning up.

Now I have another command to shut off the return pump if the pH falls below 7.5 (and text me).

It also allows me to monitor things and adjust/change things so much more easily.

How hard is the APEX to program? Is it as simple as if X happens then do Y and Z or do I need to understand/learn programming. I'm still proud I figured out how to program my betamax in the 80's

Yes it's simple Boolean language like IF/THEN ... The neptune systems forum has tons of sample code available for just about anything you could think of too.

Well, I'm gonna need a TON of help figuring everything out when I'm abe to get everything up and running.
