Neptune Systems Apex-EL Aquarium Controller

Having a great aquarium just got easier.... and more affordable!

Introducing the new Neptune Systems Apex-EL, the "entry level" Apex.

Maintain your aquarium with ease.  The Apex-EL monitors key parameters like temperature, pH, and the status of your connected equipment.  Proper monitoring helps reduce the risk of losing your aquatic pets from parameter swings or failed equipment.

At a lower cost than its big brother, the Apex, the Apex-EL shares almost all the features of the flagship Apex, with the exception that it does not have built-in ORP, salinity monitoring, or 0-10V ports.

The Apex-EL is expandable with modules and probes, if desired in the future.

Easy Setup

Set up tasks and to-do reminders help guide you through configuring everything from temperature control, trouble alerts to your mobile device, and many other common aquarium tasks. With the ApexEL, an aquarium controller no longer requires an advanced degree — you are up and running in 5 EASY STEPS:

• Mount it to the wall or inside your cabinet
• Plug in the probes and your equipment
• Connect it to your home network via wi-fi or cable
• Run the new Configuration Wizards
• Get the basics of monitoring and control for your entire tank set up, in less than 15 minutes, with no programming!

Self Contained Monitoring

Every Apex-EL has a built-in, completely functional, web server - even when the internet is down.  Your tank will continue to operate without interruption and can still be controlled from a mobile device.

Super Easy Mounting

Both the Apex-EL and the Energy Bar 832 have an innovative attachment system, making them easy to mount and access all connections.  A hinged mount allows the controller to be flipped up to make your connections, and flipped back down, tucking them away therefore making it difficult for water to enter via a cable.
