Apex Controller for two tank

[Robin316us]

Hi would like to know if Apex Controller can monitor for two tanks? If yes, how?I have 2 tank side by side. I currently have it running for 1 tank.

Thanks

Not that I’m aware.

Yes, you can add additional modules to the Apex to add temperature probes, pH, salinity, and ORP. Additional EnergyBars can be added to provide more controllable outlets. Each input and output can be named to help identify which tank it’s on. You can attach up to 49 modules to a single Apex, so in theory you could monitor and control dozens of tanks with one Apex.

So I can add "Module" even to monitor Alk, Cal, Mag?

Yes. The Trident automatically tests Alk, Cal, and Mag. You would need separate Tridents if you want to test multiple tanks if they do not share a common sump. I have a detailed review of my Trident experience here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/trident-hands-on.596716/

If you have two tanks close to each other the best way is to connect them. It will give you a bigger water volume
And it’s easier to maintain one tank instead of Two.

You can monitor as many tanks as you want via additional PM1/PM2 etc modules. The only issue that can arise is fusion becomes quite busy / cluttered as there still is a lack of tab or nesting support to differentiate separate systems, if running off a single head unit.

I’m monitoring three different tanks from one apex. I forget the maximum number of modules allowed, but I have 28 so it’s more than that.

Add a sump, common to both is one way. If you have room.
