Another reason to hook them up to an Apex.

My apex runs my vortech, radions, misc float switches, temperature readings, ph readings, heaters, and emails me whenever something is wrong. And I can control things from anywhere in the world on my phone. Just have to hook up my wireless camera to it again as well.

+1. In this day and age I would consider NOT using an Apex to be reckless! (I'm ready for the backlash!) Lol.

Ya, my tank has been saved once or twice by the email alerts. If nothing else, that's been worth it for me.

2 weeks after my tank was running 2 of my 3 heaters broke at the same time, almost lost all my fish. I was lucky to have a small 150w carry me through the day.

Thats why i run 2 slightly less powerful because if one decides it wants to cook the tank it isn't strong enough by itself to cook it
