I use a smart aqua
For that, I use a Smart Aqua set of tiny sensors for that. They have one for water level too high (I put in the overflow to prevent floods). They have one for overheat conditions that I have hooked up to a heater. You can also use an Inkbird controller (useful for heat protection and fan activation.)
I have been reluctant to get back in the Apex systems I use to run because of how unreliable the cloud service / firmware update has been. I ended up spending more hours trying to fix things after a FW wipe and nearly crashing my tank when using those systems.
I’m thinking even outside of a power outage. Would be nice to know, for example, if a heater is starting to draw current outside of its spec. Then you could take action preemptively. Apex and Profilux already support this, but I run Reef Angel, which doesn’t. Was hoping to find something to supplement this.
