Apex help

I don't believe there should be any issue with the temp probe. To be safe I'd probably hook it up for monitoring for a while before programming any controls off of it just to make sure it's behaving appropriately.

You can use any tablet with web access via the apex fusion controls (can use your phone if you want). I am considering doing this with a cheap Amazon Fire so I don't have to fiddle with my phone (or run to a different room for a computer). No need to upgrade to the new Apex either.

 

The difference in pH probes is really how long they stay calibrated. If you're not going to run a calcium reactor then you should be fine with the standard probe. I just re-calibrated my pH probe once it started showing 8.5 to 8.6. Then it dropped back down to 7.9 to 8.1. Just depends on how you want to measure items and how controlling you want to be.

 

I saw somewhere on the Internet net someone sold an acrylic holder for a tablet but can't remember where I saw it lol.

I would just do like fence said. Get the regular probe. Unless calcium reactor control.

Temp probe should be fine. They are easily calibrated.

 

Ok. I will look around.

 

That would be a nice clean look.. if that's what you're into. I guess I'm more into the rat's nest of wires look.

Only 1 of my 4 Vortech drivers are still up where they belong. Jebao controllers are just hanging there as well. I had really good intentions of making it look clean when I got started... but somewhere along the line it turned into a mess. I'm sure one of these days I'll get around to making it look pretty!

 

ha! mine is way more of a mess than yours. So much so, I'm not even going to post pictures

 

I can confirm that a kindle fire works well as an apex interface. I'm probably going to bend a piece of acrylic to hold the kindle on the wall.

 

No to steal the post, but have any of you guys had problems calibrating your probes?

 

For me it's new out of the box. But I believe I have it narrow down to where the probe connects to the apex. It'll go all wacky, I'll mess with the connection and it'll go back to normal.
