I gave away frags that were colonies recently, and have been fragging that thing for 3 years. Here's my starter frag picture from Jan 2012 2 Quote Link to comment

itzju Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 HOLY SHIT! is anybody watching Neptune Live on FB? They just revealed the new Apex and IT HAS WIFI!!!!! I watched it, not enough for me to upgrade and the new power bar's features really only benefit the in house modules - i do like that all the outlets are all relays now. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 I watched it, not enough for me to upgrade and the new power bar's features really only benefit the in house modules - i do like that all the outlets are all relays now. pros and cons. I like that the display is optional. It's priced well at $800. The gold is now $550 so that's pretty awesome, it is discontinued however it is not obsolete. They were running a $100 off promotion this past week. Guess it should be down to $550 now. The new units start shipping in June. Right at RAP-NY. You're coming right? Quote Link to comment

I forget what else you get they should sell just a wifi module. if i didn't already buy their DOS module, i will switch in a heartbeat to something else. i am still not able to keep my Apex online and i tried several different wifi extenders.

markalot Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I love my APEX but the lack of some common features and processing power is a little silly, especially for the price. http://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-RASP-PI-3-Model-Motherboard/dp/B01CD5VC92 It's hard not to get something without WiFi or Bluetooth. Here is the video. I'm sick of the orange! 3 Quote Link to comment
jimmyree Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Just placed my first order for Aqua Craft salt. Wondering how your parameters have tested on AQ salt. I gave up on it after two boxes in a row tested horribly deficient for Mag, the worst of these two tested at 840 consistently and the Calcium would precipitate in the mixing bucket because it was so low. The other tested at around the 1000 mark, neither anywhere close to what is considered good for reefing. I got tired of having to dose Mag in my water change water before adding to tank. I also noticed that it left a very sticky film on my arm after reaching into the tank and left my skin with a mild burning sensation. Have you seen any of these issues? Quote Link to comment
