Apex & starting over

don_chuwish · Mar 15, 2017

I've had an Apex Lite running for years now. Transferred & expanded it when I went from a 36B to my 120G tank. Right now I have everything broken down, livestock in various holding tanks, while I rebuild the 120 tank and stand.
The history held in the Apex up to this point will be meaningless to the newly restarted 120G. So how best to reset everything to start fresh?

Thanks!

Type in the IP address of your Apex to your internet browser, then do these steps:

configuration> misc setup> initialize memory> initialize all

Thanks both!
I think I left out an important part - I don't want to lose all my config because the new tank setup will be exactly the same as the old. I just want to kill off historical data, not my outlet configs, var speed switches, profiles, etc. I guess I can backup the config and then wipe it all & reload, but was just hoping for a more direct 'delete historical data' type option.

Under configuration, select "load/save" instead. Then check the radio button(s) of the configuration(s) you would like to save (export). Then click "Save configuration". It will then ask you to browse where you want to save the file.

Thanks, yes I did a backup of everything. Didn't see anything about keeping logged data though, which is fine. I'm due for a firmware upgrade anyway, might as well do that and then power it all off until I'm ready to set everything up again.
