Sancho Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm just giving you shit harry. you did ok.... but your still a silly kid for selling off all the apex and going backwards on lighting Besides spending money is fun, someday you will realize you can make more tomorrow. Now we will get to hear about how he needs an Apex for the next year. I am looking forward to his crazy craigslist experiences trying to track one down. Harold seems to be cheap as i am. I suspect in 6 months the first bulb change will be a quite a surprise to him. 3 Quote Link to comment

True! Bulbs! I know a guy who has some that fell off a truck 1 Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Naw I am sure 15 other people told him 9-18 months is fine to wait before changing bulbs lol I have a guy, no sweat on bulbs. 6 months I believe, better to alternate when changing so no shock. L Quote Link to comment
Sancho Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Apex Jr has display & like any Apex needs $20 netgear for Internet. But you are limited to 7 modules. On a 90 you will be surprised at how fast they get used up. The Apex you just sold had unlimited module expansion. Tried to tell you to keep the head unit and EB8. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have anther grand to sell in supplies here and the ATI was a trade for the XR15. I'm thinking this tank needs another powerhead, apex, some corals, tangs, etc. Apex JR can now do 20 modules, there was a software update. Quote Link to comment

The display counts as 1 so with the display and the new update you can add 6 modules. Unless they did an update last week pretty sure 7 is the new limit. 1 Quote Link to comment

I read somewhere here on NR an update to 20, might be wrong. Anyway... 6 modules?! That's a lot. all I would want is EB8 and perhaps a PM for salinity and breakout. Quote Link to comment

That's a lot. all I would want is EB8 and perhaps a PM for salinity and breakout. No the current firmware is 7 on the Jr. Currently I am using 4 maybe 5 if the temp probe counts on my 8 gallon. I think the temp probe counts as a module. I could be wrong about that. I plan on adding the unofficial jebao module so if my temp probe counts I am at 6 modules. This is my current set up. Apex Jr. , EB8, display, pm 1, break out box. If the temp probe counts I am at 5. I really want all of it to be easily controlled. Since I am using the AI prime I dont need the LED module. But it would be so nice to just log into one app and have complete control. On my 90 build I am looking at 8 to 10 modules. Really I just want 1 unit to monitor and control everything. I know you think its bad juju but the nice thing about the apex is you can program fail safes if shit goes bad and the apex fails. Just my thoughts. 2 Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 My favorite piece of LPS. Was a $5 rescue piece from LFS way back then- totally translucent and receded, with brown jelly. I'll try to find a picture later. Now it's good- maybe a hammer? It touches both frogspawn and hammers without an issue. 2 Quote Link to comment

thecoralbeauty Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I hope you re-scape tonight instead of this weekend- and hopefully before I get all loopy on nyquil again. I'm excited to see what you come up with! I really like the photo shopped idea. Sorry about not being more help with that, by the way. I'm re-reading my texts with no memory of typing them. I'm surprised you knew what I was trying to say- I'm not sure I did myself. Nice LPS. I have a piece of frogspawn that looks really similar to that as well. Quote Link to comment

So display, EB4, EB8. Maybe PM1 and breakout. Im good with a used JR, or maybe the full standard. 1 Quote Link to comment

Temp probe doesn't count and the unofficial jebao module shouldn't either. So display, EB4, EB8. Maybe PM1 and breakout. Im good with a used JR, or maybe the full standard. Breakout boxes don't count. Only items you plug into Aquabus count. And don't use the display. It is a poorly made POS. I would do Jr, EB8, PM1, PM2, BoB. That is 3 modules. 4 Quote Link to comment

CronicReefer Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Yeah haha and this is only two bulbs! Once my AquaticLife bulbs are old I'm going to switch to a D-D/ATI/SunBlaster mix. I love the color appearance from ATI, it's one of the reasons I went to T5 from LED, but each brand produces a certain bulb with more brightness than the others. Quote Link to comment
