Nice I'm happy to hear it works

I'm real interested to see how that new ato performs.
Feel free to function test the crap out of everything. I'm not sure if you want to get into the apex but It sure would be awesome to see it in action

you will be very happy with this skimmer, if they werent so pricey I would get one. I think I am going to get the 3 T1000's I have all cleaned up and running like new, sell them off and get a new Bubble Magnus or something.

I could gladly test it all out for ya, maybe then it will help me talk the wife into letting me buy a controller for this tank as well.

Hell yeah man. I'd love to hear your thought on the comparison between the profilux and the apex.

I am not sure if this has been asked but what kind of led's are you using and any guess on PAR.

The LED panels were a cheap EBay purchase, not sure of the wattage per LED or the par. I thought I would give them a try simply because it's a FOWLR.

Well so far I have found the Profilux to be easier to program the power bar because you can hook it to a laptop.

If someone that has an Apex can tell me how to program the power bar that would be great, I am test driving this unit for Oxymoron but have one coming for my FOWLR.

The Apex can be plugged into your router with an ethernet cable (provided) and accessed over a web browser by typing in its IP address... but I actually programed all of mine with the display unit. Without knowing the programing language and what all of my options were I found the web interface to be only useful for very basic programs and making modifications. Even though I owned an ACIII for several years it took me a while to figure out how to work with the Apex. Unfortunately I got it all figured out before I discovered the 'easy to read' new user guide here: http://reeftech.webs.com/
