Question, need a quick answer if possible:

For the Cor20 pump, does the fallback statement apply to the IQ levels you set up, or is the total power available. For example, if I have my pump set to a min of 5% and max of 30%, and it looses connection to the apex, and I have fallback set to 30, will the pump run at 30% of 30%, or will it run at 30% of full power?

30% of full power.
What does your coding look like?

My if power off statement isn't working for some reason - it says it doesn't detect a power module. But I have a 12v dc adapter plugged in, so not sure what's going on there... Does it have to be specifically the Apex adapter for the 2016 model?

One more question... For this outlet, should I do "set 100" since it will presumably be reading the IQ levels from the cor20 when the power is on? I am trying to set it up so that if the power goes out, the Cor20 will run at 25% of full power (I might change that to 10 or 15%) off a UPS (this EB8 is plugged into one, and the 12V power supply is plugged into a separate plug not on the UPS)

Are you registered on the Neptune site? If not, go do it and ask there. They will hook you up in no time, there are some sharp minds over there that are Apex savvy...

Im sure there are some sharp minds here too but when I have an apex question or issue, I go there.
FWIW, I just hooked up my 20 and love it..
