Why does BRS recommend this?
Neptune has put together a package that included the salinity, temp, pH and ORP probes, along with WiFi connectivity all in a single package. The Apex Controller is by far one of the most advanced dedicated aquarium controllers on the market today. The wide variety of controllability with the Apex Controller System and its easy to use cloud interface makes it a perfect option for a fully automated reef tank. The Apex Controller has two different methods of control, through Fusion, the cloud-based software, and through the dashboard. The dashboard lets you always have access to your Apex in any type of event, power outage, or if the internet is down through a local area network (LAN), unlike many other cloud-based controllers. The Energy Bar 832 can also tell you how much power each individual outlet is consuming letting you set alarms, send emails, or even have IOS notifications let you know before things go wrong.
Less Hassle, More Success
More than the color has changed. Neptune has listened to what you want, adding more standard features to the already reliable, and dependable Apex Controller.
Built in WiFi, Salinity, Temperature, pH, monitoring. Set reminders, log testing and dosing information and much more
Included WiFi lets you now connect to the internet even easier. With the Fusion Cloud interface everything is easier from calibrating probes, to customizing outlets. Fusion gives you the ability to monitor and control your Apex from anywhere in the world.
The Energy Bars have been completely redesigned, with more robust outlets, individual LEDs show the status of each outlet, per outlet power consumption, and 1Link Accessories like the DOS and WAV pump can now connect directly to the Energy Bar 832 saving room, and eliminating messy cords keeping your tanks equipment looking perfect.

Apex Control System

Now with built-in WiFi, connecting your Apex system has never been easier. With the totally free Fusion cloud based software, getting connected, and controlling can be done within minutes. You can now do firmware updates through WiFi on your local network
Energy Bar 832
The most comprehensive aquarium controlling and monitoring system to date is finally here. The Energy Bar 832 now has eight individual, 7 amp relayed outlets letting you use any outlet for any device. Each individual outlet can also monitor and detect power usage in amps or watts, letting you set alarms and send emails when pumps have clogged or failed, lights are not turning on, heaters leaking current, letting you be notified of the issue before it becomes a problem. With electricity costing more and more money per Kilowatt hour having the ability to monitor each pump, heater, and light lets you now make better decisions on the overall value of your equipment.
Each Energy Bar 832 also has two 24VDC accessory ports that can power small pumps, solenoids, fans and more, while the built-in 100W DC power supply lets you control up to 3 1Link accessories like the WAV circulation pumps, and DOS fluid metering system without the need for any additional power supplies or consuming additional outlets. The EB832 also has 3 AquaHub connections letting you expand to any existing or upcoming module making your Apex System truly limitless.
Neptune didn't stop there, with an all new mounting system on the Energy Bar orients the power strip in the correct direction keeping cords neat and tidy. While the outlets have a bit wider spacing, and orientated opposite of each other keeping room for those bulky transformers, allowing you to plug in almost anything you want, where you want.
New Lab Grade, Double Junction Probes with Built-in Salinity Monitoring
Double junction pH, and ORP probes lets your readings stay more stable without the need to calibrate as often. With the Apex System calibrating your probes through your dashboard is easier than ever before. The dashboard will automatically recognize when your readings have stabilized and letting you know when to move to the next step, no more guesswork and reading RAW data.
Apex Fusion
Fusion is a cloud-based site that lets you access your Apex from anywhere in the world. Letting you customize outlets, set reminders, log testing parameters, while monitoring and controlling any aspect of your aquarium through your phone, tablet, or desktop.
Apex Fusion has released an IOS app that now integrates directly with your Apex Controller System. Having the app now lets your Apple desktop, Ipad, or phone receive notifications directly from your Apex Controller. No more need for emails or text messages.
(Android app coming soon)

Product Questions
We experience no problems with the pH probe. The salinity can be difficult to do, usually takes 3-4 tries and then success.
Take care
That would be correct. The head unit will have all the connections.
Take care
They do not, Neptune is a US based company so the units are 110v.
Take care
Thank you for reaching out.
You are correct. The Trident system will only work with the newest version of the Apex and will not work for the Apex Classic or Junior packages.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Have a great day!
Thank you for reaching out.
Aquabus cables are similar to USB cables but have the same connection on both ends. You would not have any issues extending the Aquabus cable 20 feet. You would want to get this extension cable for it:

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Have a great day!
Many thanks
We appreciate your interest! At this time our distribution area is limited to the US and Canada. Hopefully some day in the future we'll be able to expand this to serve customers in your area!
Regards
Happy reefing!
You won't need a separate power supply to control the Tunze pumps through your Apex, but you will need the control cable found here https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/2-channel-aquasurf-apex-to-stream-cable.html which will plug into the Apex base module.
Have a great day!
The Apex system is capable of running many different modules, including multiple power bars on the same system. These will all link together via the included AquaBus cables.
Have a great day!
The Apex Controller does not include any display module. You can upgrade your system to one if you wish to do so, however with the super low prices of some tablets on the market you may want to look into picking one of them up and dedicating it to your aquarium controller. That way you can do programming, monitor, and control everything a bit easier.
The Apex Controller can have a display module added to it at any point. We do carry them and they simply just plug into any open Aquabus port.

These will come with the initial calibration packets for the pH probe. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
You will still need the WXM module in order to connect to Ecotech Devices. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The Apex controller does not offer reading for ammonia. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.
While it can be done you would need to find cables separately to reach the distance.
They will release within the next month the additional EB832 energy bars for individual sale. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
This will not include a probe holder. However the are available separately.

This will not include the probe holders which are available separately.
Great question! The housing for the Apex Head Unit and the EB832 are made of plastic.
That item you are seeing is the newly designed Apex Head Unit.
