I use the
American Marine Pinpoint Dual-Stage Temperature Controller + Probe.
PinPoint Temperature Controller can easily handle up to a 1/2HP chiller and 700 Watts of heaters (12 Amps). The PinPoint Temperature Controller is a dual-stage controller that can also be used as a single-stage controller. The temperature probe tip is made of 316 stainless steel and the 10-foot cable has a silicone jacket that is ozone resistant.
As far as the Apex, if it malfunctions, or the heater malfunctions, you can have the Apex shut it off. Animals can live in colder water a lot longer than hot water. But if you want the best, ime, temp controller, the Pinpoint is it. You don't need it plugged into the Apex and is a standalone unit. Works AWESOME!!!
