    How to calibrate Apex EL temp probe?

    I am confused on the steps in the apex app to calibrate the temp probe, I just set up my new Apex EL and I haven’t calibrated the ph or temp probe. This is what I did to calibrate it. I used my Hanna salinity/temp checker to measure the temperature and then in the apex app when I clicked the...

    Defensive reefing - Controlled tank crashes may develop new Reefer's confidence

    If all your main flow through filtration systems (sump, canisters, reactors etc ) went down for 9 months, could you sail your tank safely while adding livestock and feeding normally as if nothing happened? The Rasta Reefer thinks he can, and yes that includes turning off all return pumps on his...

    Apex 0-10v Reef Octopus controller equivalents

    So I’ve got my overflow stabilized with the RO Varios controller on my Varios8 and Varios2, on Speed2. It took a bit of tuning especially with my fleece roller and ATO. I really don’t want to alter my pump speeds and go through the process all over again. I have the 0-10v cable, and I’d like...

    Do I really need the full Apex system or is the Apex EL enough?

    I wanted to finally get an Apex to take control of may tank. I do not really need the ORP or salinity checkers that are on the regular apex system. But I do want to be able to get the trident later on to test my water and then also get the dosers for when I need them. Do I actually need to buy...

    Apex not communicating via aquabus

    Did some clean up under my cabinet while adding an ato. No connections were changed, however the eb832 and apex head unit were disconnected from power briefly. When I turned everything on, I was getting a flashing logo on the Neptune (some say orange, looks more yellow to me). I originally...

    Apex Salinity Probe VS Hanna Salinity Tester

    Has anybody ever had any issues with the Apex Salinity Probe being accurate? I just calibrated it last night as I filled my tank. It shows 34.4 right now, but the Hanna says 39.9 measures right next to the Apex probe in the sump? Im sure the Hanna would be more accurate but that’s a HUGE difference

    Inkbird Failure with Apex Redundancy

    I have an Inkbird 306A controlling two 150w heaters. Occasionally the Inkbird will show an "Abnormal" alarm (at normal temperature-78F) and will cut power to the heaters, which can drop the temp of my tank about 2-degrees F overnight. The only way to reset the Inkbird's alarm is by cycling the...
