Apex Jr. Vs Apex Lite

[dannyny]

hey guys wanted your opinion.

should i purchase the apex jr. or apex lite??

i want to use it for 2 purposes only:

1. dosers
2. turn my fan on

i already have the hydor smart wave and i have LED's with a controller.

i am leaning towards the Jr. as i dont need many options just something to monitor my tank. i dont need the display as i want to use my smartphone to control it anyway. please let me know your thoughts. thanks in advance.

Then apex jr will be a better choice for you. You can always buy additional modules in the future if needed IMO

thanks guys! i did a lil bit of research and if i wanted the ph probe module it would only be 75$which will come out to 225$ vs 369$ or course i dont have the display which will set me back another 125$ making the jr 325$ which is still less than the lite but im giving up 4 extra outlets. did i forget anything else?

Still looking into which one to get. Leaning towards the jr.

What about your heaters? They should go on a controller. Will the jr leave you enough outlets?
Also nice to have the ph probe to use as a safety parameter for the dosers

planning to go with:

1 - heater
2 - fan
3 - doser (alk)
4 - doser2 (cal or mg)

if my heater has an external controller should i still plug that into my controller?
