Only Care About Reliability - APEX or GHL

[DJF]

There were some great things and valid concern on all products. Building a new tank build and still don't know where to go with it.

First world problems can’t really go wrong... unless you prefer to stack your gear

My apex display recently stoped working. That should not have been a big deal, however it cause the whole Apex to stop working until I figured it out and disconnected it. This could have been a disaster if I was on vacation or away for a few days when it happened.

I did see your thread.

It's just crazy that a failed display that should have been automatically isolated brought the whole system down.

That is the way I feel as well. I no longer depend on my apex for any life support critical functions. This is now the 3 significant failure I have had with my apex. I just realized I still use it for feeding my fish. But I use a backup for that if I am gone more that 2 days.
Without a display my house sitter would not be able to see or do anything nor could I if fusion or the internet were down!

I hear you, what were the other 2 failures you've experienced?

On 3 occasions my apex turned my alk dosing pump from auto to "ON". Each time emptying my dosing container. The first time it happened I thought maybe I had accidently turned it on some how as I had made some changes in fusion the day before. The next 2 times I has not even looked at it for a week before it happened. The other failure happened pretty much at the third time it emptied my alk container. That was it failed to send me a text or email alarm when my PH spiked above 8.5, as it should have.
