I don’t own one, some what considered buying one for future tank project. I had a few questions maybe someone could simplify for me:
#1) I have read the salinity probe is sometime not accurate. How do the other probes fair? Temperature, PH and ORP? Are these readings accurate?
#2) I read the apex can monitor power of devices (watts, etc) to see if a device fails (?). Is this true?
Does the device have to be “apex compatible”?
I am not looking for lighting or wave maker control (to expensive), maybe dosing control (maybe, again, can be done separately for half the price). I would be very interested if it could tell me that my main return pump failed. Or if a heater or other equipment lost power.
But is this done by the energy bar of the apex only? Or do the devices need to be strictly apex compatible (or will it tell me if ANY device plugged in loses power)? Hope I am making sense. Thank you.
