Controlling Maxspect

ScottF · Nov 1, 2024

I currently have two Red Sea Reefwave 45's (top left and right sides of tank) and two MP40's (one on each side) in my Red Sea S-1000 G2. I'm thinking about adding two more gyres. One on each side of the overflow box.

I am trying to decide between two more Red Sea Reefwaves or two Maxspect gyres. Are the Maxspects controllable by a Neptune Apex? If so, do I need a specific controller or model of Maxspect gyre? Extra Apex module?

I'll probably go with Maxspect if I can control it with the Apex like I do with my MXM module and MP40s. Otherwise I will probably get two more Reefwave 45s.

Not really. That post is four years old. I don't know if anyone has come out with anything since then. Thanks for the link though.

My Maxspec Gyre is controlled via apex in terms of on/off during feeding, but you have to run it through an eb8.
The red sea gyres are made by maxspec I believe. So there is that. To run the different programs on a Maxspec you have to have an IP6 or the cloud edition
