THis has to be the best investment by far...Ive had this only 2 days and already have it doing things that I didnt think was possible.

Where do people get there floats from?

I want to hook up a float so when the return pump turns off and water starts filling the sump it will trip a float and turn the skimmer off.

I just cant believe how much stuff this thing can do,I cant believe I went this long with out it.

Put a video up just for the heck of it but Im going to do a better one one day..

Know what you mean I went almost 30 years without any type of Controller, just manual timers and still finding new things out about my Apex after 2+ years now. Definitely one of my better investments Reef-wise or other.....

Cheers, Todd

You don't need a float. Just add programming that says if return pump off, then skimmer off. I've also added a 5min defer statement to my skimmer pump so it won't come on for five minutes after the return pump has come on

OH,that makes sense...I was trying to figure out what another reason is to have a high level float in the sump,but cant think of any..

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Outlet MainPump = OFF Then OFF
Defer 004:00 Then ON
If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF

Like this ,will it work,,
