Like the title says I'm trying to do 2 tanks with my one apex.
I would like to have 2 displays that I can control what is on them. How do I do this. I tried to mess with it tonight but I couldn't get anywhere.
I have the main apex on one tank with an eb8 and a breakout box.
On the other one I have an eb8 and a pm2. I will be getting a pm1 and maybe a few other things soon.
When I plugged in the new EB8 I saw some new stuff pop up on fusion( what I thought was new)

Any help would be great thanks.
 
You won't need to have 2 displays. Simply connect either the eb8 or pm2 to something on the other systems components and you will be able to monitor and control everything from one spot.
 
You don't _need_ to displays, but if you want to have them for convenience you diffidently can. You can customize each display to your liking, however you will still only have 4 feed cycles.

I currently control my main system, a frag QT, and a coral QT. I have 2 x PM1's for the QT tanks so I can watch temp and pH on them.
 
I have the tanks in different rooms. But I still have not decoded if I just want them both to be seen at my desk or at the tanks.
I could not figure out how to get 2 different displays tho.
I have the apex display but I think I'm going to upgrade to the amazob tablets. Would I just bring up fiusion on them?
 
To customize the displays you need to go into the apex.local dashboard not fusion. But yeah, if you went the cheap tablet option you'd just load up fusion on those and turn off the screen saver. That's what I'm doing with an old iPad.

Awesome thank you.
