Default Apex

I know I found mine a little overwhelming at first but I fined using the laptop program and iPad app helps a lot. It's a lot Easyer to understand the programming and controlling it. And the graphs and history are great on them to

X2.

While I'm in Calgary, I barely have time to tie my boots, and arranging a coffee date could take months.

I can find some time to read the forum and try to help, though.
(Okay, I've got LOTS of that time, since I work on a computer, and my computer often works harder than me. )

Just got the Apex to replace my dying Aquatronica unit. I too am having a few issues figuring it out. Can't seem to get the second pH probe to work right. I have not yet hooked it up to the computer which seems to be the miracle answer for these controllers by all accounts. I need to figure out a way to connect it since my router is upstairs and the tank is in the basement.

Can it be connected directly to a laptop with the ethernet cable?

Yup. You can also configure a wireless bridge. More work, and some hardware works better than others, but a direct connection is easy. I would never even attempt to program one of these from the display console!!

Thanks, I'll give the laptop a test later and see how it goes.
