Sorry to say this, but, DA is SO much easier
Take your Apex back to J&L for a refund and buy a DA RKE unit
All you need to do is connect it to your PC and you can program it there SO easily

Log into the device webpage via IP address and reinitialize the aquabus devices.

Under outlets you should have 3_1 thru 3_8 as "Outlets"

I GOT IT!!!!!
I have to reconfigure the eb8 on the head unit.

i had it set up in the kitchen working and i guess once i mount it behind the tank and maybe i didnt use the same aquabus port I dont know.
I cant imagine it wouldnt auto recognize the same powerbar but whatever its working now.
dinosaur age software almost had me going grey!!
thanks for help everyone!

tomorrow Ill set up the auto feeder and probes so Ill probably be back online tomorrow night and grey by saturday

Default apex issue

I went to a buddy for advice setting my Apex which ended 'bricking' the display which required me to ship back to Neptune for repair.

It's a better idea to post you questions at for the experts to help.

https://forum.neptunesystems.com

It'll definitely also help lower your frustration level.

Good luck!

I havent hooked anything actually up to the apex yet since I work and wasnt home. So according to the logs from today everything seems good to go, came on when it as supposed to and off at the proper times. Ive calibrated my PH probe and the temp probe is hooked up Ive programmed the auto feeder.
the only thing was my cal and alk dosing came on at same time so i set the OSC 60 min apart for 12 doses each on the hour alternating. going to check the logs in a few hours.
Im off tomorrow so if the logs are good and i simulate a power outage and all goes well then the apex will be running my system tomorrow.
thanks everyone for the advice since this $900 was VERY close to getting thrown out the window.

the only thing is the app doesnt want to let me sign in to the controller to make changes via the app but if i go online at apex fusion on the phone it works fine so im over it.

Glad it worked out.

The app sucks anyway. I use fusion almost exclusively.

rarely am I gone for more than 2-3 days at a time and I have underground hydro lines so power only goes out once in a blue moon its only xmas that i go for 2 weeks and the tank is alone, but now I can have the piece of mind of knowing whats going on and could get someone there within an hour if a disaster hits so I feel better.
im going to order another eb8 for my water change pumps and a few other things but that will have to wait until after xmas as Ive spent ALOT in the last month. starting up your own business isnt cheep!
