I printed the manual to. It sits on my coffee table. Ive read a good bit of it. I still don’t have it all worked out but learning slowly.I wouldn't pay a 1k price for it now, I cringed when the Apex classics were 399$ 8-9 years ago. I think I paid 200$ for my first (used) classic in 2015.
You got to learn in 2 months what it probably took me a lot more time due to the info on forums @ the time was waaayyyy more fickle. There was a LOT of go read the manual, not folks actually typing out blocks of code for you. I eventually printed out the 200 page pig of a manual and it still sits on my shelf to this day.
Be glad it's gotten easier to own one. Or else I'd be waiting on your pain to buy it second hand when you bowed out
I am excited about the new module out for the AI Hrydas and Neros. As that’s whats on my tank.
I do want a Dos but heard its loud and would want the fish feeder but heard it has issues. I have a redsea doser and love it.
