How can I add a second Apex unit to a new tank but on a same network?

[CyberGuy]

Currently I have one Apex unit connected to my 75 Gallon and it is working fine. I just set up another tank 120 gallon and want to install my second Apex unit to this new tank that is in another room in my house. How do I add the second Apex unit to my current working unit so when I click on the app I can see and control both Apex units?

Is there a video tutorial on how to do this?

First, change the Hostname on your current Apex so it won’t conflict with the new Apex. This is under the Network settings. After changing the hostname, reboot the current Apex for the change to take effect.

Next, set up the new Apex like usual, and link it to your Fusion account.

When you launch Fusion, you will see the old and new Apex in your list. Click the one you want to manage. Then go back to the list and you can choose the other Apex.

Wish there was a video instruction of this. I think this is important.

You think this is difficult finding info on? Try hooking one Apex to 2 tanks. I did it, but the info is "few & far between".

Curious, my apex is monitoring/controlling three separate tanks. Just give the probes and outlets identifyable names. Not complicated.

Like he said just link the new one to the fusion account. I would rename the old one. Fusion does have a bug where it will show the original as the primary if you log into it via a web browser. However it's just a few clicks to go to the new one. I had a classic and then bought the 2016 when it came out
