Guess I never thought about it. My lights are on timers. I have a stand alone doser. Run rw-8s with their own controller. Have a smart ato so thats separate as well. Everything electronic is plugged into dj powers bars so they are easy to turn on/off.

well, you can get an apex lite for 100 (there is one on here now for that).

I'm not sure what it would cost you to buy a heater/fan controller.

it might not make any sense at all to get an Apex...unless it would allow you to sell off some of the stuff you already have that would then be redundant.

I used to run everything the same way with many different components and it worked quite well....once I HAD a controller though, I would definitely never go back.

Where is this apex light you speak of? I need a new screen for my controller
Doubt there is one for 100 bucks that's giving it away.

I just sold an RK lite for 100 a few weeks ago.

You can also find the older green screen apex jr for very cheap...I paid 80 bucks for the last one I bought a few months ago...probes and DC8 included.

Same story with the lite.

Here's another RK lite for 100
