ASSISTANCE WITH APEX SYSTEM

[SAMS]

I am looking at purchasing a neptune apex (2016 full model) for my tank.
Ideally I am also looking at purchasing
1) a secondary double junction lab grade PH probe to use on my calcium reactor.
2) a neptune dos to conduct an automatic water change.
3) some solenoid valves
a)one on the water supply going to my RODI unit
b) one to do an automatic membrane flush on my RODI
c) one on the pure water outlet from my RODI water storage.
d) one to go on my calcium reactor
4) a PMUP to transfer water from the RODI water storage to my reefloat ATU chamber.
5) leak detection kit (with extra sensors)


To enable me to achieve this, I feel that I would need the following bits:
APEX SYSTEM 2016
DOUBLE JUNCTION LAB GRADE PH PROBE
NEPTUNE PMUP
NEPTUNE DOS
4 x SOLENOID VALVES
LDK LEAK DETECTION KIT
2 x SOLID SURFACE LEAK DETECTION PROBE
2 x LOW PROFILE LEAK DETECTION PROBE


I am unsure if I would need any additional energy bars or 1 link modules to achieve this as I am unsure of the difference connections and cables needed for each bit.
Some guidance from someone with more experience of neptune apex products would be greatly appreciated .

This should help some

APEX SYSTEM 2016
DOUBLE JUNCTION LAB GRADE PH PROBE Can be used instead of ORP probe which you might not use anyway
NEPTUNE PMUP Need 24v port
NEPTUNE DOS Comes with power supply and everything else
4 x SOLENOID VALVES Need 4ea 24v ports
LDK LEAK DETECTION KIT Comes with FFM which has extra ports can handle 4 leak detection probes
2 x SOLID SURFACE LEAK DETECTION PROBE Comes with the above
2 x LOW PROFILE LEAK DETECTION PROBE Plug into LDK FFM above

I am unsure if you will need something that has additional 24v outlets. I dont have the new apex so I dont know what exactly the connections are

Do the energy bars have 24v ports in them?

The old ones do not but the new ones do

Just checked and the UK ones don’t

This looks like it has the new style energy bar

Neptune Systems Apex A3 Aquarium Controller With EB32 Plug Bar - Marine Aquatics Ltd.

HAVING A GREAT AQUARIUM JUST GOT EASIER AND MORE AFFORDABLE!! The real pleasures of an aquarium are often overshadowed by the struggle of upkeep. Worse yet, aquatic animals are unnecessarily sacrificed everyday when parameters like temperature drift into lethal ranges due to failed equipment...

They use the same “stock” pictures but actually provided an older model of the energy bar :/

The FMM has one 24v port however if you are not US based and can use the EB8 you need 24v adapters for the other components. As said the EB6 doesn’t have any 24v ports.
