Next Generation Apex Controller
The Next Generation Apex is here and it’s simply called “The Apex”. Neptune is not doing away with the “Classic Apex” but they have discontinued the Apex Gold and Standard Grade pH probe package. Recently the Gold package went on sale for up to $100.00 off the regular price.
The new Apex has a price tag of $799.95 and it will include a new energy bar system called the Energy Bar 832. Sold separately, the EB832 will cost $249.95 but it will not be available for several weeks after the initial Apex system release.
Some of the features included in the new Apex:
-
Prevents catastrophes by monitoring key parameters in your aquarium, takes corrective actions for you, and alerts you via your smart phone when things go off track.
-
Monitors your equipment – ensuring it is operating correctly at all times – and lets you know when it’s not.
-
Tracks your manual test results, maintenance, livestock purchases, and tank observations and helps you can correlate issues in your aquarium to the things that are happening inside.
-
Manages the full operation of equipment (lights, pumps, filters, ATO, etc.) on your tank with simple setup wizards and an easy to use app.
-
Takes the place of many costly and cumbersome discrete components such as light timers, heater controllers, pump controllers, etc.
-
Gives you the peace of mind to know how your aquarium is doing, instantly, from anywhere in the world.
WIRELESS INTERNET-READY
For years Neptune has advocated a wired network connection to the Apex controller due to its superior reliability and they still do. However, for many people a wired connection is just not possible so Neptune have added WiFi into the platform.
Included on the package:
The Apex System includes probes for Temperature, pH, ORP, and Salinity. The pH and ORP probes are now double-junction as well so they hold calibration longer and have a longer lifespan than single-junction probes.
