Painless setup they said.....

[Dearth]

So last week I bought the Apex standard controller system and today I set it up

Setting up the equipment and wireless adapter systems was the easy part took less than 45 minutes total

Loading the firmware and software was a nightmare took about 3.5 hrs to get it all straightened out then getting fusion to recognize my apex was ready to tear my head off and blow it up with a lot of help from a member on the canreef Facebook page I got that setup and running

Finally an hour or so of programming I am the proud owner of a very easy to setup and use Apex controller system .......

Only things not on it are my return pump, ATO, skimmer and Hydor Koralia smart powerhead controller they are on a normal power bar until I can figure out what to do with them

I don't recall painless being a word used. And I gave you code for the return pump already

Oh, and you didn't try to update FW over wireless, did you?

Nope However windows 10 kept hiding the damn update on me took awhile to figure that out

Gonna keep return pump on separate power bar for now easier for my water changes ATM so frequent that they are

I don't understand how it's easier?

I just dealt with this a few weeks ago and almost returned it.
Now that it's up and running it's a solid purchase.

My return pump doesn't shut off for feeding and I currently don't have any wet floor sensors so the code is just fallback on set on

If you can get past the programming nightmare this is a very good purchase
