What APEX stuff am I getting?

[Reefing102]

So I’m set to pick up a 65 gallon tank set up in the next couple days. Part of the set up includes Apex gear. Any help in identifying what may be included? Looks like part is the Apex itself, the energy bar and the ATO. These are the only pics at the moment (sellers pics)
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you got the following:
EB832 (The power bar)
Apex (Main brain)
ATO w/ PMUP, including the FMM module that runs the ATO and attaches to the Apex

I don't see the probes. You should have at least 2, and most likely 4: Temp, pH, ORP, and salinity (conductivity). If you don't have those, you can easily pick them up from BRS or Neptune direct.

That's the Apex-EL, which has fewer ports than the full Apex 2016 model. The Apex-EL ships with the EB832 EnergyBar, a temperature probe, and a pH probe.

If you want the salinity probe or ORP probe (mentioned by @jassermd above), you'd need to purchase those probes separately, and the extra modules to plug them in (PM1 for ORP and PM2 for salinity).

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Edit: I’ll take a look at those articles. I figured there had to be something with the transferring of the apex as far as being “assigned” so that’s definitely good info

Didn't zoom the pic... nice pick up @SuncrestReef !
Agree with everything he said. It was his programming threads that I learned from! And have been grateful for!!

Alright so I got this tank picked up. It’s the APEX EL, with the auto top off and pmup and FMM module. Also got a WAV as well. The only thing is I think I need calibration fluid (found that at BRS) and I’m looking at getting an extra module for the Salinity. Where would I get that? I tried looking on BRS but I think I overlooked it or something cause All I could find were the full systems
