apex questions

You can for sure buy a extra EB8 for the Jr if you wanted to up your # of outlets.
My question would be why you would want ORP? Unless your running Ozone it's practicaly useless. There conductivity probe is on the same line so finiky and fragile I would never buy a APEX for either of those 2 options.

I have a junior and love it. I do only have a nano tank. I added a wxm to control my radion light and mp 10. Love being able to control things over my phone. I purchased it mainly for temp control but have slowly added to it. Would never go back.

Well I wanted it mainly for temp control and a water detector if there was a spill but I would like the phone app to monitor everything

You can buy everything separately but I do suggest you splurge and buy the either the junior or full version then add on as needed

The biggest thing though is if you buy the apex go to Apex's website and follow their step by step setup and updating firmware videos as this is the biggest single complaint about apex is setting up and updating can be a challenge

If you are using it on anything bigger than a nano I would get the bigger set-up. Four outlets will not go far. Once you get used to the apex you will want to control all your equipment through it.

Good thread as I have considered using an apex but I am not great with technology and have no idea where to start.

There actually pretty easy to setup, everything is either on Youtube or there forum for setting things up. Also a large section on Reef2Reef and Reef Central if you can't find your answers there.
