Apex for $250? BRS special edition

[Tamberav]

I mean you could buy this and a used EB8 and saved some $$$ or upgrade an old system with just this keeping the old power bars.

So if I get this apex does the trident hook right up to it or would I have to purchase anything else to get the trident running?

Hope we get something similar in Europe soon

You would just need an aquabus cable (male usb to male usb) and the 24v power supply. So more or less hook right up

Looks neat. Great price! I'm glad we got some cheaper quality controllers available now....I thought the standard ApexEL, but a lot of people can't afford the base model.

ApexEL Aquarium Monitor Special Edition

You can relax about your reef tank knowing that the Apex EL BRS Special Edition has your back. The BRS SE Apex EL monitors key tank parameters and comes pre-configured to send you alerts via the built-in WiFi if anything is amiss. It's hard to overstate the value of having an aquarium monitor...

I was looking at this earlier this morning. Great way for someone like me to ease himself into automation. thx for sharing.

Got an email about this last night. Very interesting and I have absolutely no clue in what I would even need this for, but I do know the price point seems nice.

So this just comes with the brain box, probes and water level switches, no EB832?

I also noticed it was missing theports for voltage control.

I feel like for a basic unit, I'd rather have a salinity probe than pH probe. Temp/Salinity/Water level seems a more appropriate trio.

They don't offer salinity probe because it's been problematic since it's introduction. + more people monitor Ph because that's an earlier indicator of Alk ?Cal issues.

So those that had the Reef Keeper Lite, is this the equivalent as to replace? I might just pick this up for my 10g nano, already have an extra EB8 sitting around.
