Tunze stream to Apex

MAXreefer · Jun 9, 2020

I have the newest Apex system and want to connect my controllable Tunze streams to the Apex.
I know I would need the 2 channel Apex to Tunze stream cable but do I need an extra module or do they plug in straight to the Apex?
Thanks for any help

They apex module should have two spots to plug in powerheads for control. I have the classic (as my original died after 12 years) and it has two ports. Are yours Stream 3s? I have both mine being controlled by apex and it is much better than on their own.

Yep. Getting the stream 3 ones

It depends on which Apex model you have. The newest Apex EL is a lower price model that does not have built in variable ports. If you have the EL, you’d need to buy a VDM module.
