I wish I would have gotten something different. The apex is nice but they slack in multiple areas and don't seem to care.
Half the functionality is in the old interface and not the new website. They expect ya to use the old interface to do things instead of saying "yes we'll have that all ported to what we toot in advertising!"
Functionality of Ecotech products lacks several key features, since the discovery of this Neptune has released 4 brand new products.
The conductivity solution is subpar, dealt with odd readings since day 1, but it's "normal".
The energy bars are overpriced. The customer service really isn't that great.
There's a complete lack of simple programming that is inherently supported in the languages they use.
The lack of a wifi solution is appalling because there's multiple ways to do firmware updates over wifi without a problem, heck even my 60$ tv does firmware updates just fine.
Bring up any of this stuff on the Neptune forum and you'll get any number of excuses or padding from several individiuals who obviously work for the company to keep their image better.
Temp probes they make, out of the box read different values, though they're calibrated at the factory...
Their 100$ feeder is a rebadge of a 40$ feeder that's so incredibly loud and gums up if you don't use 1mm pellets or larger.(the 25$ eheim feeder tops this by far)
I probably have a few other gripes that aren't coming to mind right now, but all in all I feel I just about wasted 1200$ on all the stuff.
I'm on the fence about how I feel about it, but really am thinking of trying another brand.
