I love thes DIY breaout/ think out of the box projects even though I don't have an apex and would prefer GHL Profilux for my future dream tank, not going into detail about the reasons. they show that their is so much more possible then the initial controlers were intented for if you get a little nifty and are willing/ able to build your own contraption 😁 keep the good ideas flowing 😜

Very cool Deven, been thinking about doing something similar, as well as an indicator light that tells me my RO unit is on, since I'm a dunce and forget I'm making water sometimes, LOL. Thanks for the apex programming too! Best, Peter

Happy to help Peter! I have leaned that lesson of forgetting the water on! Best to add a float valve and some auto shut offs or solenoids to cut water as well. :)

@ReefEco Жыл бұрын

@@ReefDudes Yeah, for sure - I have the solendoids but have never installed them (too many projects!). The LED buttons and Cricut cut labels just put this over the top! : )

3d printers are so dang handy. I've never thought to use hot glue before.

Also, what voltage

@ReefDudes Жыл бұрын

I went with 24v so i could run them off the eb832 accessory port.

@Sammy31Dee Жыл бұрын

Get some more flow in that frag tank and less buttons .....the water looked stale on surface

@ReefDudes Жыл бұрын

I have 4 mp40s in there, plenty of flow :) possible they were turned down when filming
