Welcome! Glad you joined. I love FOWLR (fish only with live rock) tanks. Your rocks become live with the bacteria converting your ammonia > nitrite > nitrate cycle. I'm going to defer to others on Apex as I don't have personal experience with Apex, and generally there are lots of ways to proceed.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

An Apex could be useful for a fish only to monitor orp and temperature and let you know if any equipment hooked up to it stops working.

Welcome to R2R. I love my Apex, and if you don’t mind spending the money gives a lot more monitoring and control of the tank.

Welcome to Reef2Reef. An Apex can be great for peace of mind but it's definitely not a necessity. I like mine but I reefed for years without one and my tank looked just as good.
