Default Apex Controller

This is the response I received last week from RLSS (yes I know they have been promising this for over a year now)


"Thanks for your interests in our products.

We hope to give Neptune the 3rd prototype for the "Apex-ready" controller next month so that they can verify the one a.s.a.p..

The controller was behind our schedule we will need to support 0-10V analog controller and RS232 as well. And the main broad is upgrading too.

Should you have any question, please let us know, thanks.

Best regards"

Eddie Ye

I bought a Speedwave DC pump when they were the only way to go, I don't think anyone sells them locally anymore. Fingers crossed it's working perfectly so far, had it for about a year and a half. Anyone else running one?

I keep reading posts like this one as considering replacing my Dart more really to try something new. Seeing that the cheaper DC pumps still taking a chance, guess will stay with the proven Dart (running 8+ years) a little longer.

I bought 3 DC12000's at the same time as FragitDan and we've had quite a bit of communication between us through out the ordeal. The failing controller of a friends unit, coupled with a series of unfortunate events, led to over $20K worth of damage in their home. RLSS has sent a Gen2 controller for all the pumps we bought. The event described above, turned out to be the straw that broke the camels back for them, and they've shut their tank down. I've taken one of my Gen1 controllers (which was still sitting BNIB since my build is so slow) and hooked it up to my friends DC12000 and it's powering my Lifereef Vs3-48 skimmer. The controller fan unit sucks and is noisy. The new Gen2 is probably close to 3X the size and is just a large heat sink. No active fan.

My original plan was to have 2 - DC12000's as my return pumps pushing 12' of head from my basement fish room to my 210 gal living room display, but I'm beginning to worry about having adequate flow. One of these days I will take it outside and test what they push at that head height.
I'm not quite ready to bail on them quite yet, but FragitDan is right when says customer service is horrendous.
