			 Just installed my Apex over the past few days, got wireless and Internet access running and have fallen in love for the first time in years. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			I am interested in what others are using their Apex to control. So far I have: Lights and light fan on a timer. pH probe to control the solenoid feeding CO2 to my calcium reactor. Heater controlled by the temperature probe (heater is set 2 degrees above the controller's heat setting for redundancy). I am working on installing a float switch to shut off the skimmer, then I can be more aggressive about tuning my skimmer without worrying about it overflowing. Is there anybody running the controller for other or non-standard uses, I would like to hear about other ideas to make the most of this equipment.

			 I control my fans based on temp.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	I set my ATO on an alternating schedule from my Kalkwasser. My kalk is tied to the Ph probe. My calc reactor is also tied to Ph. I have a 1/4" John Guest solenoid that opens the ro/do for a couple of hours each day. I put my power heads and return pumps on a feed cycle. Basically every device in my system is on an outlet. It makes it really easy to shut things off for maintenance.  |
