perfect thanks again

ordered my apex yesterday along with a TRENDnet TEW-647GA Wireless N Gaming Adapter .... anyone using a wireless adater have knowledge about this adapter? it was reccomended by a friend

 

[Mike389]

So instead of the apex lite I got the full apex system with the built in variable speed control.... Got the variable speed control so i can program my tunze pumps to have different flows throughout the day

 

[Mike389]

any advice about whicch cable to buy to connect my apex to my tunzee pumps??

 

[Mike389]

im considering 2 Channel AquaSurf/Apex to Stream Cable Neptune Systems AquaController.... people said that there are diy cables i can buy but i dont know what they are... any advice

 

[Widdy]

You can DIY it... but for $20, the actual cable isn't too bad. Unless you need it to be longer than the one sold by Neptune.

The pin-outs are in the unofficial Apex guide if you need it.

 

[Mike389]

@ widdy... do you have apex controller hooked up to tunzee pumps? if so what program are you using

 

[Widdy]

Sorry Mike, I don't even have an Apex :lol2: I have a Profilux IIex+, maybe an Apex around Xmas.

Reef controllers just fascinate me :p

Open your web browser to http://apex or 192.168.1.50

Download a copy of http://reeftech.webs.com/Apex New User Guide.pdf

It'll help you with various parts of your Apex setup.

Im having a difficult time connecting to the internet... im trying to set up a wireless router but havent had any luck let

 

[Widdy]

You got a lot going on... is the Apex accessible via your home network?

 

[Mike389]

Not through the main router because its on the second floor... I manually programmed a couple of things till I figure out how to connect to the Internet. Have work till nine tonight so it's gonna be a while... I was up till three last night playing with it I'm exhausted lol
