Reefer_Madness July 3, 2015 July 3, 2015 If you bought an Apex and you are overwhelmed, here are a couple of quick programs that will get you started in the right direction.
Reefer_Madness July 3, 2015 Author July 3, 2015 Heater program. My heaters individual controls are set to 79.5, so I set my Fallback to ON
Reefer_Madness July 3, 2015 Author July 3, 2015 Skimmer This program will turn off the skimmer any time the return pump is turned off. When the return pump is turned back on, it waits 3 min then turns on.
Reefer_Madness July 3, 2015 Author July 3, 2015 Return pump I have a Virtual Feeder program that I will post later. If you do not want to program your feeding, you will want to delete lines 3 and 4
Reefer_Madness July 3, 2015 Author July 3, 2015 (edited) Dosers A and B I have my dosers come on every hour for 4 seconds. Part A is on the hour and Part B is 5 minutes later. If my pH gets up to 8.20 then my dosers will not come on. Edited July 3, 2015 by Reefer_Madness
Reefer_Madness July 3, 2015 Author July 3, 2015 Feeder program I have an Apex AFS but I don't use the wizard on Fusion. I setup a virtual outlet to do my feeding so I can control other equipment. Here is what happens when I feed: Return pump and skimmer turn OFF, 1 min later autofeeder turns ON, 5 minutes later the return pump turns ON, 3 minutes later the skimmer turns ON This happens at noon, 2pm and 4pm. I have powerheads that circulate during this time, but they are not controlled by Apex. Virtual outlet Feeder Return pump Skimmer

nextlevel808 July 4, 2015 July 4, 2015 Ok by the looks of it there are 4 different models of D-link ones that can be used.
Reefer_Madness July 7, 2015 Author July 7, 2015 (edited) Another tip: Don't bother downloading the Apex Fusion App. Worthless. Log into the Apex Fusion website in your phone and "Add to Home Screen". It works 100% better and from anywhere. See? The user interface is just like the web. This works ever better for iPads. Edited July 7, 2015 by Reefer_Madness
