New probe arrived yesterday temperature display 68.5 I just contact Neptune waiting to talk to the support team. Unless someone here has any suggestions.

68.5...is that your room temperature? Also what firmware version do you have on the Apex?

Temp probe was the issue! Replaced with a new probe, however this was not a quick fix. The display was registering 69 Fahrenheit. So I read a similiar issue with the temp probe on the Neptune support forum. Mentioning to use a temperature indicating tools, using 2-3 different types to get an average reading. Example: first reading 81.9 with a Pen style, second reading 82 with pocket probe, 3rd 82. 5 with temperature indicator. Then take the average of all 3 and calibrate the temp probe. These low cost tools price around $15.
In my case I calibrated the temp probe to 80.0
Once I thought I was finish, around 10PM last night my lights shut off, when there suppose to be schedule to turn off at 12 midnight. Apparently all setting were off, so I had to reprogram all controllers. I was thinking this was probably from updating the firmware. Anyhow, all is working! And thank those who contributed comments to this thread.
