Comments: Just purchased this and got it up and running. It has already been great on getting my tank temp. under control. My tank was heating up as the heaters did not turn off as they should. Now the heaters are controlled by the Apex and my tank runs at a the correct temp. Still learning how to set everything up. I think this is the best purchase I made for my tank so far.

Comments: Tank controllers are just a must own no matter how big or small of a reef tank you have. The Apex is a bit overkill for some I am sure but there are less expensive options out there. This system however is great. Easy to use, easy to set up, and easy to program. I have since added a pH probe and the VDM unit to control my DIY LED fixture and this system has added a great deal of flexibility and the sunrise/sunset effects are fantastic. I have had very few issues, just some quirky lag or sometimes it not wanting to load the main page on my computer when running firefox, but seems to work better with internet explorer. Overall, no regrets. This system is great and I plan on continuing to expand it with a breakout box for auto top off. And getting some dosing pumps to take full advantage of this excellent piece of hardware.

Comments: this one does it all. very easy to use and setup

Comments: I purchased the lite version of the Neptune Apex back in May, 2011 and it has given me the peace of mind to enjoy traveling again. As any reef aquarist knows, we invest a lot of time and money into these delicate ecosystems. I cannot tell you how awesome it is to check the status of my tank, or even change an outlet program from my phone.

<br />We visited my family a few weeks after I installed the Apex and it helped me avoid disaster! While I was away, the plastic shaft broke on my chiller pump, rendering the chiller useless and causing extra heat in the process. I promptly received an email from the controller once the temp exceeded the high point I had established. I immediately shut off all pump and light outlets, until I could get home and troubleshoot the issue.
<br />
<br /> The old saying, 'ignorance is bliss' need never be uttered again, once you experience the peace of mind this controller will give you. I can finally enjoy traveling again and still be a part of this amazing hobby!

Comments: First off, I want to say that keeping an aquarium will never be the same after buying this controller. That said I like the Apex Lite, but now that I have it, I wish I had purchased the full apex. Although every bit of the functionality can be added to the Apex Lite through various expansion modules. In fact, I have the Vortech Expansion Module on the way, I will review it when it comes in. I'm sure it will be awesome too.

Comments: love it works better than i thought it would. have it running my 75gal right now. getting ready to hook up our 29gal to it too. running sun/lunar sim, temp sim, wave making. easy to program and use. great product

Comments: I have been shopping around for an aquarium controller for some time. After lots of research and recommendations from friends, I got an Apex. I couldn't be happier.

Comments: I've been using a Neptune Systems ACJR for the past 3 years on a JBJ 28g HQI cube. The ACJR finally started to die, and this was a huge upgrade. Buying a small wireless gaming controller ($60) will help you run the APEX Lite wirelessly through your house to easily be accessed directly from your computer.

<br />Well worth the $$, easy to setup if you have minimal technical knowledge (although, some basic knowledge is required)

Comments: First of all, let me say, this product does everything it says it does! It does NOT come with a ph probe so make sure you order one when you order the controller. I purchased it back in April, and I am still figuring it out, but I am happy with it. It does the things that I bought it for.

Comments: This doser is extremely accurate and can be programmed to suit any additive requirement. The only problem I see with the unit is when it looses power you have to manually restart the doser. I would recommend this product its great!!!!

Comments: I love this system. Easy to set up and program, endless expandability and incredible levels of control. I couldn't imagine going without it!

Comments: Had this up and running in a few days. Ability to configure on web, and Neptune's customer service, is best in class. Email feature alerts when problems arise. What else can you ask for?
