Looks like I'm going against everyone else but At 300 i dont think it's that great of a deal and I would honestly say to keep the gyre and later on look into the newer model. While that's not an awful deal heres why I say to save
2 - Energy Bar 4's QTy 2
New model you get a single eb 832 which has the same outputs as 2 eb4s but added 24 volt 1 link and more detailed power usage
1 - Classic Base Unit 1- AFS - Auto Feed Never Opened
I find this kinda unnecessary but if you need an auto feeder I guess that is a nice bonus
1-PM2 - Salinity Module
New one is built into head unit for a cleaner setup
1- Display Panel
New model you can order with or without and is unnecessary as its wifi and you can do everything right off your phone
2 - Temp Probes
Only really need 1 temp probe included with new apex
1- PH Probe - Lab Grade
New one will include calibration fluid with the probe
1-Conductivity / Salinity Probe
New model includes this with calibration fluid I still find it inaccurate and dont rely on it at all and may take the graph off my dashboard
1 - ORP Probe
Not really needed (but I still dont fully understand the science behind it) is interesting to watch though
1 - LSM Module
I will say I do want add this to my tank
1- PM 1 PH / ORP Module 1- Breakout Box (new)
Module unneeded with the new model breakout box is a cheap add on
Now you can get the apex el for an extra $200 which the only difference is no orp or salanity or the full model for $400 more and with either one you will be able to run anything they come out with unlike the old model there will be a few things you wont be able to use
