The Apex Jr. is far different than from what any other controller at this price level is offering. The Apex Jr. is basically a small computer whose only job is take care of your aquarium. It has a 32-bit microprocessor and a built-in web server. The web server makes it possible for your to configure and operate your Apex from any network-connected computer or mobile device – no software to install on a PC – it also means it’s Mac compatible!

The Apex Display module is a sleek and compact way for your to interact with the Apex Jr. and control nearly every aspect of your Aquarium. Unlike our competitors’ entry-level controllers, we did not scale down our Display Module for our entry-level product. We feel that the Display Module is a key component to your controller system and you deserve the best…even at the low end.

Neptune Systems manufactures our own temperature probes in-house. Why? Because we saw the level of early failures due to using off-the-shelf temperature probes like those used in stand-alone digital thermometers as well as those used by other aquarium controllers. These probes often fail because they were never designed to be permanently submersed in saltwater. We custom build our temperature probes using a proprietary method that encapsulates the business end of the probe itself from the corrosive effects of long term saltwater submersion.

Included is:

The APEX Jr is fully customizable and can be fitted with additional outlets, pumps, leak detection monitors, flow monitoring, to be able to control LEDs, other probes (ORP, salinity, pH), and other Apex expansion products.
