tunze controller or apex controller

I am not familiar enough with what an Apex can do to answer that question. It is my understanding the Apex can do more in many ways but it is more difficult to set up as t doesn't use preprogrammed modes as ours do where you simply adjust a few parameters, instead you must program every pump individually.

I have an apex and tunze pumps+nano wavebox on my 120. I recommend using tunze controllers for the flow pumps and the apex for everything else. It just simplifies everything. There's a big push by the "neptune geeks" to use the apex for absolutely everything and I think this complicates things. Apex is great for lights, temp management,pH/orp and electrical control plus it's web based and gets your system on line. Hope that helps.

That does help me a lot. While the apex offers a lot of programming flexibility now with 32 different profiles available, I cant imagine spending the time put a program together that would utilize all of the profiles. Which controller are you using...7095 or 7096?

Currently I'm using 7095 and the 6091 that came with the nano wavebox. They both have feed timers and light sensors. The streams on the 7095 are on interval 2, 30-100% with moon phase and night mode active. The 6091 is on night mode and shuts off at night. You can link the two and I'm looking into that (it's pretty clearly spelled out in the manual) but this setup easy. I can't imagine setting this up on the apex without an advanced IT degree.
