Are they used? The DOS QD has been out for almost a year but I think that bundle wasn’t offered until several months later. Seems like a great deal to me though if it’s in nice condition. Would be good to see pictures of the actual equipment especially if it’s used because the probes and such could be pretty corroded.

I’ve not seen it in person yet going to check it out In the morning. Apparently the DOS is unused. Whole system less than a year old they said. Thank you buddy. Don’t know a lot about controllers

I bought this exact bundle for my waterbox 230.6 build last summer. The bundle was going for $1870 at that time and is probably what they paid for it. The apex 3 pro controller is nice but it’s a bit frustrating that they don’t include the salinity probe with it like they did with earlier controllers. The salinity probe is an extra $210.

I was thinking the exact same thing! I’ve always wanted that salinity probe!

The Neptune documentation is actually pretty decent. Have you gone to https://help.neptunesystems.com/getstarted/apexng/ ?

I would start with just getting the main controller and energy bar working and after that add the probes. Once you are comfortable with all that the DOS setup and Trident setup are not too bad. The setup tasks walks you through the steps and configuration.

Trident seems to have picked up where it left off from previous owner. All I had to do was plug it in.

Energy bar status lights problem ended being solved by deleting it from module set up page on apex local and then just plugging it back in. The brain connecting to WiFi problem also had to be deleted on apex local.

All of this was found out on my own from trial and error. Neptune even responded to my ticket today with out any of these options as a fix. Wasn’t squat out there for my specific problems.

All is well now. Only thing I’m struggling with at this point is setting up the water level thing on fmm. I’ll get there.

Let me know how you do with the FMM. Mine is still in a drawer after two years
