I have watched a ton of Neptune setup videos (including the outdated Various/ Neptune setup one mentioned) and this has to be the most direct and thorough one yet. GREAT JOB!

Thanks, I'm glad you thought so I put a lot of time into it.

Awesome. This is great 👍. Agreed man. This cable made it possible for me to add programming to have my Varios return pump slowly ramp up after a feed cycle to allow my overflow’s siphon to catchup quicker (doesn’t send excess water down secondary drains) Cheers 🍻

What’s the programming for that. That’s exactly what I need so my ato doesn’t kick on every time I turn back on after feeding

Not certain why it is now different, but using an A2 APEX that is running AOS 5.10 8F22 (with the VarioS 2/2-S model and controller), port naming seems to be as follows: (JACK 1) Left-facing port currently has labeled VARSPD1_I1 and VARSPD2_I2, each corresponding to the two 0-10v jacks. (JACK 2) Right-facing port currently has labeled VARSPD3_I3 and VARSPD4_I4, each corresponding to the two 0-10v jacks. Everything else in your video is spot-on and extremely helpful, including the valid link to the cable on Amazon (US$12.99 at the time of this posted thread). One other thing I noticed (but perhaps just a bonehead move on my part) is that there is a slight delay of about 1-2 seconds from the time I toggled the Apex Fusion switch to "ON" and when the VarioS 2 impeller actually begins spinning.

Amazing video. Best content on youtube that explains how to configure a varios pump to apex.

Very nice. I bought the same cable and could not find a video that explained this.

Link is no longer active. Seems like IceCap isn't a thing anymore. But I do still need to connect my Apex to my Reef Octopus

hello. best regard. I would like to know please and if possible how the cables are distributed in the RjJ45 connector. a photo is possible. It's that he wants to do it. Since comparing it to the USA and taking it to my country is very expensive. thank you
