Nothing with apex that I know of

And yes to the notification about levels. But I think and I could be wrong that it would just be a rough estimate and if ur calibration is off that you could be empty.

Let's say ur doseing 10 ml a day but in reality because u didn't calibrate it correctly ur actually doseing 11. You added 100 ml in the container and imputed it into the program. So every day the wifi box subtract ten from the 100. But in reality it's really using 11 so u will be empty before it thinks ur empty.

I mean I just look at my bottles but if u want something to tell u ur bottles are empty thru apex spend the thousand plus dollars and get two Dos and two ddr's.

No the dos are annoyingly loud. I am able to find them locally for around 175 used and I won't get them lol. I just use the apex for notifications and fees mode, everyrhing else I like to keep seperate in case of eb8 failure (wav, dos, atk) but you bring up a good idea, getting the containers with the sensors to monitor low level

All I can say about this product is what I have seen.

After a big user mistake this unit has run nonstop with no problems.

It has some bells and whistles but for the most part it just works.

Built well great customer support top notch support I will even say. It's not loud or an eye sore and doses four liquids can't beat it for the price.

I'm liking it so far. I was going to just get the jabao since it has physical buttons after I was let down by my GHL being unable to connect anymore. Is the interface pretty quick? The GHL lagged to connect

is it the same for everyone or just your particular wi-fi network? my ghl had about a 8 second delay on everything even though the router, doser, and computer are all in the same room. i like that, its a very simple interface!

Do you have to calibrate it a lot or does it hold it's calibration very well
Well just over two months I've had mine so I can only speak on my experience with it. Since setting it up properly (it was my mistake) the calibration has not changed.(I re calibrated it yesterday as I have a vacation coming up in a week)

Yes, of course! They are designed to hook up to your wifi network if you choose, and from there you can select which pump you want to program using the app.
Is there a way to set these up so I can adjust them from say another state?

Nope. I've contacted ReefBreeders about this and was told that they are "working on" an updated model since so many people want remote access. That is the only issue that I have with the pump. Mine has been running for almost a month now and has remained constant.
