Just a suggestion, but do you have the controller near any other electrical devices or cables ? Maybe you're getting some electrical interference.

That is odd. I have mine running for over 5 months now and loving it. Everything do correctly just how I want them. Maybe you got a defect unit or got some electrical interference.
I did not upgrade firmware because it is not broken of what i am doing so I don't want to mess it up.

Oh trust me, I would love to be singing the praises of the Apex just as you guys are. It was all the positive feedback that helped me make up my mind to buy it. After my little rant yesterday I decided to reinstall the firmware and reprogram everything and as of this moment everything seems to be holding steady and the controller has not changed the address of EB8. The only issue remaining appears to be switch 8 which is my Alkalinity, is not working. Switch 4 (calcium) is working fine and the icon does indicate that switch 8 is enabled, it just doesn't come on. I tried my dosing pump on a live outlet and I know it works fine. I tried to do the "manual on" and no luck. I'll still have to give Neptune a call. One thing I have noticed is when I go into the Module Setup, it shows the EB8 module as "OK" but the Display Module is "Old". Is this typical? The other thing is the display slows down drastically and speeds up for no apparent reason when navigating the through the menu on the display module. I suspect this is because the processor is busy executing a command but that's just a guess.

i too must say that there might be something wrong with yours and you should have it checked out by neptune.
ever since i have set mine up it has worked flawlessly just set and forget. the programing wasnt too hard either, i have most of my times and temps coincide with the seasonal table delayed by 4 hours so lights start at 10 and not 6 am.

http://reeftech.webs.com/ much better instructions in here in regards to programming and updating. Your modules should not read "OLD" it will cause problems. Have you tried getting support from RC in the neptune thread, all the right people lurk there including the guy that designed the system. Also send Curt a email at Neptune, their customer support is top notch and so is their warrenty services should it come to that.

I would not take any chance and have this thing exchanged or repaired. You cannot take that chance with a controller as you say, it is the most important thing and it means the life or death of your tank.
I hate firmware update. My Playstation 3 stopped reading DVD after the software update and it is now a huge worthless piece of junk. Quote:
