You probably have the "new" Maxi Jet that is made in china. I found out while back that the Italian ones are much quieter than the made in china one. See -> http://reefbuilders.com/2011/11/14/cobalt-aquatics-maxijet/

+1 for Anthelia I have had this before a tank crash. It grows pretty fast. It is pretty and I would not mind getting it again.

I feed pellets, frozen and freeze dried but all my fishes love Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef the most.

Though I share this... before the heater turns on ! I love my heater

My sand shifter ->

Forget the fish, all this talk about outside air making such a difference in PH re enforces my paranoia about having fresh air in the house !

So I am diving deeper into the Apex under world. Now I am trying to figure out the best way to get live video of the tank on the internet using Apex. What do you guys use to achieve this ? Do you need an additional Apex Module for this or can you just plug the camera into one of the USB ports in the EB ? Is it easier / cheaper to just use one of the many security web cameras and point it at the tank ?

Yes, you can add multiple Apexs to Fusion. Based on what I have seen, it would appear that you can even add different Apex from different locations so long as they have internet access - that is the whole idea of the cloud.

Why read the Manual ? I have WAMAS Thanks, I am glad I found this out now, here's hoping 24hrs of it being fully submerged won't do too much damage.

..... Make sure the probe is not fully submerged. Unlike the temperature probe, the pH probe cannot be fully submerged. .... I didn't know that the PH probe cannot be fully submerged. I just started using my brand new one last night. Seems to be reading fine (8.22). Should I submerge it half way or just the tip in the water ? Hope I did not damage the probe by fully submerging it.

Not quite sure what you did, but it would not be a good idea if you have a totally open network -> any one can hack your internal network. Also do you have access to your Apex away from home ? When you use your phone at home, it is probably using your home Wifi => you are still in your internal network. Have you tried accessing your Apex from work ? That is the what I am currently trying to do.

Looks like digging into the Neptune web site does pay dividends. Found this for internet connections for Verizon FIOS -> http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1760163

So I too now have fusion set up, in my home network that is. What firewalls did you have to turn off ? My ISP is Verizon FIOS. Any one has tips of accessing the Apex on the internet ?

Thanks Tricia Mike

Darn it, I should have bought more Neptune stuff with that order !

Did you have to update the firmware of your Apex to use Fusion ? Mine is asking me to do so.

I am a Apex newbie. After a weekend of Netgear networking issues to connect my Apex to my home network, I am finally ready for the next step. The only thing I see on the web interface is the tank temperature, as basic as it gets. As such, should I start configuring with Apex Fusion; not bother with the default Apex setup ? Reading this post does not give me much confidence, I may be trained as an engineer but that was a long time ago and let's just say they no longer allow me access to the computer room. I also see the Neptune refers to Apex Fusion as "Beta". Beta gives me the creeps, probably due to being an old school engineer. Is it still Beta ? I dove into the Apex world as in insurance policy for the tanks so Beta seem to be contradictory to that. Being in IT, the "Free in the Cloud" makes me nervous. Will it be one of those it's free for now, get you hooked, then start charging a subscription fee deals ? Has anyone switched to Fusion and then revert back to the regular Apex ?

Ok, silly question but.... what is LRS food?

I just received my new Apex. Ordered an Temp Probe along with it. Now I see I also need another module to use a 2nd temp probe. I can see more items coming as I start digging the Apex money pit . Thank goodness it was my wife's idea that I send the money to "look after the cute fishies" while we are away. I got mine at Dr Foster when they had their 10% off. So where is the best place to get Apex accessories ? Any recommendation for reliable Amazon, Ebay or CraigList sellers ?

Is there a reason why you put your temp probe in the sump instead of the Main tank ? I have mine there since the temp is always a degree to 2 more, probably due to the LED lighting.

Can someone tell me what type of Starfish mine is ? I have had it for about 6 months now. Doing great and wonders around the thank more often than I thought it would.
