Plugging DOS Directly into Apex controller???

[Huskereef]

Setting up my tank. Bit of a dilemma. I have the Apex EL with the EB 832. Now I have a shortage of Aquabus ports.

I have the Neptune Sky, ATK, and the Apex itself taking up all 3 of my aquabus ports on my energy bar. I still need to set up my DOS which also has an aquabus port. I noticed on the Apex EL module there is another port available. Is this just to add another energy bar or can you use it to link the DOS.

Would rather not have to buy another energy bar just for 1 more aquabus port. As I do not need the outlets. Will i be forced to or does anyone know if this will work for me/ have any other solutions. Thanks in advance.

Every Apex module has at least 2 AquaBus ports (except the SKY and Display), and they are meant to be daisy-chained, so you can never run out of open AquaBus ports as you add new modules. And since the SKY offers a Y adapter, again, you should have plenty of free ports.

Was hoping you would reply to this :)
Trial and error has been the best learning tool besides your Tutorials Suncrest!!! Have been a saving grace to say the least.
If Neptune is not compensating you for what you have created then that would be a shame!!! thanks again.
