Do I need an Apex reef controller?

[PeterC99]

Ok I had my mind made up that I was going to get one tomorrow. A store in Charlotte sells them and I want to get it there not order it online unless the price is a lot more in the store. But I just read the reviews on BRS and I am freaked out again. lol. I know that reviews aren't that reliable, that more people write bad reviews than good reviews and fewer people write reviews when their expectations are met, but there a lot of one star reviews.

The Apex dashboard makes Reef keeping much easier.

The Salinity probe may not work for some people. But here is an example of it working for me.

I have to put a filter foam on my overflow weir to dampen the rushing water noise. So whenever that foam kinda clog. My ATO will kick in.
Usually the clog will happen gradually. But this one was different.

All I need to do was clean that and put it back in. As you can see the salinity is coming back up to 35ppt.
