I would just use a gravel vac to siphon it out during your next water change.

Sorry to hear. Even when you think you're prepared, something unexpected can still strike. Hope things turn around. I would perform a big water change and also run activated carbon ASAP. The focus should be to get the fish and livestock into clean water. I would even consider setting up a temp small tank with a piece of live rock, and essential equipment. Just a thought. Just be careful of over heating the water and ammonia build up. You definitely want some aeration.

Weird. Which Apex model do you have? I'm running a full Apex and an Apex-EL and they both have it for the probe. Maybe something changed? Maybe there's something in the manual. https://apexfusion.com/pdf/acrm.pdf

What about through the modules UI?

I'm on Android too. Click on the gear icon of the probe (see fig 1). Then click the Advanced tab (figure 2). I don't trust heaters at all. I would rather the tank cool to ambient temperature than cook.

It's possible you need a bigger heater. I prefer to use 2 heaters in case one goes out. Maybe add a second heater instead of a bigger one? Make sure your probe isn't in the same compartment as your heater and you have good flow through those areas. I just program the outlet as a heater and use the probe for notifications (too cold/hot). Here's the outlet and probe settings I use and where they get programmed. Probe Outlet set as Heater

Very nice. When is the new tank arriving? Best of luck with it.

I like it. Is it one large piece? If so, how hard is it to move and add to the tank?

I’ve purchased glass from LGM Glass Designs (formally Laurel Glass & Mirror) multiple times. Recently purchased glass to eurobrace a used Redsea reefer 250. Very friendly people and the measurements are always dead on.
