Shortly I will be getting an APEX after much research and I get the basics of what they can do but I want to get a better idea of how to connect my equipment properly before I get my equipment.
Equipment on it will be:
2- Sicce pumps on Oct Ext 250skimmer
1- Rio HF 32 return pump
1- Rio + 2500 for in tank circulation
1- 800 watt Finnex heater
1- Magdrive 3 on ATS dump bucket w/two 65w PC
1- 6 head 12v fan unit
1- 72" Blue LED 12v strip light
1- Kalk Stirrer 12v with Niveaumat auto top off 12v
+
72" Belize Sun w/ 6 power cords and electronic ballasts.
1- 400w MH
2- 400w MH
3- 400w MH
4- 160w T-5s
5- LEDs
6- Fans 2 x 4" 110v ?amps
What I am thinking.
12 Channels using 1 EB8 + 1 DC4HD.
*EB8
1) Return pump 1.1amps
2) Circulation pump 0.5amps
3) ATS/Surge pump 0.7amps
4) Skimmer pumps 1.2amps
5) ATO wall wart
6) T5s 1.5amps
7) MH left 4.07amps
8) MH center 4.07amps
total amperage 13.14amps
*DC4HD
9) MH right 4.07amps
10) All LEDs + turf scrubber PCs 1.5amps
11) Fans 1 wall wart + ?
12) Heater 7.3amps
total amperage 12.87amps
The only item I am unsure of the amperage for is the two 4" 110v fans in the Belize. The label on the fans isn't very clear but I think I have left myself enough room on the DC4HD. The heater is huge and too high of a draw to be plugged into a EB8 that has a maximum channel rating of 5amps and 15 amp total maximum for the unit while the DC4HD has a maximum channel rating of 12amps and 15 amp total maximum for the unit.
I will be getting the Apex as a Christmas present of my choosing. I don't want to be greedy and will wait to add more things in the future but I want to make sure I have enough to get started with initialy.
I will be adding onto the system in time with:
Aqua Notes
Lunar Simulator (How many LEDs should I put over a standard 180? I am thinking 5.)
Additional Probe Modules
Additional EB8
Additional DC4HD
Chiller
Calcium reactor
Tunze controllable or Vortech powerheads
UV sterilizer
