Hi,
I'm setting up my new aquarium with an Apex and a titanium heater. Because I'm in Europe my Apex will be delivered with the basic EB6-240V. This one only has relay outputs and these are not the best outputs for a heater. So I'm looking into how other people connect their heaters and cooling to their apex.
I was first thinking of getting a dual channel thermostat for both heating and cooling. But If i want the apex to switch it off if it is too hot, it also switches of my cooling fans and that is a no go of course.
I'm currently leaning into using an external thermostat for the heating, and let the Apex switch it off if it gets too hot. And then use the Apex to control my cooling fans.
