Only Neptune product I've heard consistent complaints about is their auto-feeder...so no concerns from me!

We will get that in 6 months or so

Buy the avast version of the BoB. A little more expensive, unless you can solder. Far superior.

I can solder. I like the apex one because I’ve heard and seen things you can do with it to make it better.

What types of things do you have planned for it?

I’d go cor-20 instead of the 15. I’ve owned both and never had any issues with either but I prefer the 20.
The reasons being:
1. It can run headless, doubt you’d ever need it but it’s a decent insurance policy to have should you ever need it.
2. You can run it at a lower % essentially giving you the same flow at the same wattage as the 15 but it has the ability to be much more pump should you ever need it.
3. The WAV pumps are amazing and you should save your ev832 24v ports to run the DOS, the Trident and a WAV. I don’t think you can run a Cor-15, and two WAVs off the eb832 without a separate 1link module as the total amperage goes over the max for the 24v ports off the eb832 alone.

Don’t have the $ right now. I have 2x eb832 already, and I do not plan to use any other 24v other then a DõS- which will be connected on the other EB832

How big a tank is this? I have a 90 gallon and two empty outlets on my one eb832! I have Cor-20 on outlet one, empty on two and three, lights on four, skimmer on five, fuge light on six, under sump cabinet lights in seven (controlled by the BOB, and the heater on eight. The 12v ports control the pmup and the solenoid for my ATo reservoir. The 24 v ports run the DOS, a WAV and the last will run the Trident. I can’t imagine needing a second eb832.
