The guys over at Neptune Systems has been working on the MXM Mobius Wireless Module for some time now and the release date across the US was June 14th. We got our hands on the first batch of these about 2 weeks ago and we plan to install it this week.
So why add the MXM Module to your Apex controller platform? Well for starters, it allows you to control all of your Apex, Ecotech Marine and Aqua Illumination equipment from a single app. which also means you can include feed modes and other automation options by adding the MXM module to your Apex system. The MXM also allows you to do things like start a feeding cycle for your fish and corals, have your Apex set your Vortech power heads to a light pulse setting, activate feed intensity for your Vectra return pump, turn off your skimmer, and activate your AFS (Auto Feeder) – all with the push of a single button or at a scheduled time.
By pressing a button your Vectra will turn off, your Radion lights will go a bit more white to be able to see more clearly in your aquarium, and Vortech wavemaker pumps will turn off.
To capture your successes with your fish and corals, simply click a button on your Apex to decrease or stop the flow with your Vortech and Versa pumps. Makes taking top down photos or through the glass photos more easily with on demand control. It will also easily activate radiant color mode on your Radion lights to showcase the colors of your corals.
Not only can you configure easy routines with your equipment, but you can also help protect your aquarium by configuring your devices to take special actions.
If your aquarium gets too warm, especially on hot days, you can automatically lower the intensity of your lighting to help reduce the water temperature.
ORP can fall for several reasons, but sometimes it is due to not enough water turnover or flow. When this happens, it’s a great idea to activate the patented Nutrient Transport Mode on your Vortech Quiet Drive wave maker pumps.
