Apex Controller
I am looking at the dream bundle. I want control, automation and checks if something goes wrong. What do you all think? Is the new version of Apex better? easier to program,? My son-in-law has an older one that he rarely uses as it is so hard.
Dream Bundle:
Controller + 4 probes
2 energy bars-want 1 dedicated to whatever needs off for water changes
dosing pump--this would be for my water changes
feeder--don't really need this right now but...
flow monitor kit. Maybe don't need right now
probe rack
Display module
calibration pack
leak detection
1959.00 vs 2257.00 separattely so almost 300 bucks savings
Will add additional leak detection [email protected] total
Auto top off-199.99
pure fun/want maybe
Lunar, led strings and adaptor for adding lunar lights--luxury
Par monitoring-200 might be useful later
Auto testing--another useful maybe but not sure I need to test tank 4 x's a day
What are your thoughts on apex. goal is to be able to monitor esp. when we go on trips
???Dont have currently.
Apex. You asked if i had
This Makes me happy. I hate buying one thing to do the job only to realize I should have bought something else!Billldg said:

I made the switch from a full Apex system to, eventually, a full GHL system to tell other reefers the truth of which one is better and which way to go. Am I rich and can simply do the switch costing ME roughly $4000, no, BUT, am I in the position to do it, with a small cost to myself, meaning I will suffer a little, yes. I just hate seeing reefers spend a ton of money on a system and not like it, I just want to tell the truth on which way to go so you don't have to do it a second time.
i don't do sand,but know that the diffusers, "eggcrate" does not allow clean up crew do enough,after time is a build up.Instead of starboard, I used plastic fluorescent light diffuser panels, square grids, under my sand. I put the diffuser panels in first, then stacked my rock into the formations I wanted. The diffuser panels really allow you to lock in the rock: they won't ever slide. You may get this effect from starboard, too. Afterwards, I put in sand and then water. Pouring in water on top of rocks somewhat reduces the sand clouding up the water (still does though).
hi Susan ,this was just a convo ,before the thread on apex /ghl.. hope this works lol..

Yes. I don't vacuum my sand or stir it and it is quite nice looking. It is around 3" deep. Ideally for me, the lower levels are anaerobic zones where denitrification is occurring. I've added bristle worms and spaghetti worms, who've only made my sand better. I'm sure all the biodiversity I've added from IPSF.com has helped my tank become mature, biologically, and not be an algae farm. A lot of my snails have passed because there isn't enough to eat other than the film on the glass.i don't do sand,but know that the diffusers, "eggcrate" does not allow clean up crew do enough,after time is a build up.

I have a small bit of that in my current tank and it shows if the sand moves. Plus when I vacuum, I have to be sure I cover it back up. I think a smooth layer is better for clean up crew etc. and even sand sifting gobiesInstead of starboard, I used plastic fluorescent light diffuser panels, square grids, under my sand.
