Apex/Ecotech, should i migrate to Mobius?

[Mtbrider85]

Good Morning Everyone

I have a Apex classic with a WMX module. I use this to connect my (2) Gen 4 Radion XR30Pro's to my controller. My entire lighting schedule is controlled thru the Apex. It's been great but it seems many ecotech users have adopted Mobius to control their lights. In particular i was looking to download lighting schedules from various vendors to look at but its all for Mobius. Anyone have advise or feedback on switching over? I wanted to look at Topshelf aquatics light schedule along with WWC.

I wouldn’t do it. I’ve seen many bad reviews of Mobius being buggy. You can already download Radion settings from other Apex users within Fusion.

If it ain't broke..

Kyl-Very true.

As far as looking up users on fusion, i never found it useful. I don't know who is who and if their schedules prove to be successful for SPS corals. Any suggestions on how i can find WWC or TSA's schedule on fusion?

Just run that AB+ schedule and quit messing with it. number 1 problem with LEDs is too much control .

I am not bashing any one product over the other but my personal opinion, I like Apex's control much much better than the Mobius. The Mobius is buggy and requires bluetooth (i.e. i have to be in the same room to do any adjustment).

I run Radions on multiple tanks as well as MPs and Vectras. While i set and forget the light schedule (I run the AB+), i do tinker with the flow a bit. I often have to go to manual mode for flow and just now bypass Mobius because its buggy.

Thats what i run but after 2 years of no changes, i kinda want to see if i can pull some better colors from my corals. Im typically not one to make many changes but im starting to get bored of the tank, ha!

Don’t connect your mps. I did and then had to downgrade the driver software to get back onto my apex. I keep the radion on mobius.

I have the Apex classic without WXM and Mobius. No problem.
MP40 and MP10
XR30 and XR15 lights
All mobius controlled

I was having nothing but problems with my wxm modules, constantly losing connection, having to remove components and reprogram everything. Mobius was a welcomed upgrade, all my etm equipment is connected to mobius, just makes everything so easy.

I have no issues at all with mobious. My gen5s and mp10s are both running from it
