Getting ready to make the jump to apex and wanting to get as much automated as possible. Recently upgraded from a 29 biocube and 30g shallow tank that I consolidated in to this 93g corner tank. We get occasional power outages around here cause of storms. Looking at an apex EL and a trident to start with and at the moment I have a couple Powerheads and a koralia wavemaker. I know I can get the ubs, but I know it won’t run any of those Powerheads. What would be a Powerheads that can be used with the apex to keep water moving in the tank? Not overly interested in needing the return pump to run, the power outages don’t normally last but for a couple hours or so and if it goes longer I’ve got a backup generator to power everything. Also needing some breakout box ideas. I know I’m going to set one outlet up for my ato, one for a light to come on when my res for the ato gets low to tell me it needs to be refilled, and one for a light under the stand. How accurate are the dos pumps? If I end up getting them, are they actually worth the money? What also are some of the must have’s with the apex system? Currently running 2x hydra 26 HD’s and considering replacing with a gen 5 Radion with the supplement kit to control it remotely. Once summer hits and all this crap is over with, I’ll be gone most weekends for 3 days at a time, so I know I’m really wanting to go ahead and get the feeder kit to make sure everything is still well fed. Having to build shelves under my tank for everything that’s added cause it’s very limited space with being a corner tank, but I can fill it with shelves if needed.
