Apex Jr without display?

Is the Jr no longer available without a display? I don't want to pay for it when I have no desire to use it. It used to be available without one, but now even the Neptune website doesn't list a Jr without.

Unfortunately it is not. I even emailed Neptune asking to buy just a JR. I've found the display useless. That said there is a guy with a used JR, temp probe and display for $200 on here. I have a friend who will buy the display from you for $50 if you buy that package. I don't know why he wants the display so bad but he does. I can't talk him out of it.

Huh.

Ok, I'm ordering one from BRS. Same price as everybody else, so I'd rather support BRS than Amazon. I just hate buying crap I don't want or need. :(

There is a used unit for $200 here. A friend of mine will buy the display from you if you bought it. So you'd pay $150 for an Apex. The guy said it is only about 6 months old.

So how about if you have to reconfigure your Internet, or recalibrate your temperature sensor? How do you do that without a display?

Easy. Reconfiguring is done by plugging in the unit to your computer. Calibration of the temperature is also done online.

I honestly like just hitting the "feed mode" on my display instead of looking for my phone, computer, tablet, etc. to do so. But that's just me. I also like looking at the temperature on the display, instead of having to log into Apex Fusion just to do that if I'm home.

So it's more convenient to grab your computer, drag it to your Apex, then connect it, instead of just hitting a few buttons on the display?

So I hooked my Apex up last night finally. I've spent the past 30 minutes turning the lights on and off while watching with my DropCam and freaking my wife out (I'm at work, she's home).

You don't need to hook your computer up to the Apex at all if you have everything setup correctly with a WIFI adapter.

haha nice. I've done that to my wife before. Recently I used the Apex to turn on a crockpot one hour after we left for work and turn it off 30 mins before we got home to cook a full chicken. haha

True, but it still more convenient for me to hit one little arrow on my display than to be fumbling around with a laptop, tablet, etc.

In 4 or so years of having an Apex I've never used the display for more then 5 mins. So ugly and clumsy. Really wish they would update it to have a nice LED display.

Well, I'm already out of outlets and need to order the 8 outlet strip. Sigh...

 

Here's where I am now:

 

  1. Heater
  2. Fan (chiller)
  3. MH light and light fan (I have a power strip hanging off this to start both at the same time)
  4. T5 Actinics

I'd like to put the pumps and powerheads on here too so I can have an easy feeding mode. That means I need at least 3 more outlets. Well, no point in buying just another 4 outlet bar, so I guess I need to order an 8 outlet bar.

Sigh.
