Any Apex setup/VDM tips?

Thanks to everyone so far that has helped. I am really looking forward to getting mine this week and setting everything up.

 

Holy crap! We live in a day and age where we can control our little ocean from a phone that fits in our pocket! WOW! love it

 

Thats why I pretty much why I got the Apex, I know it can do endless things but I really wanted the iPhone integration.

 

Hate to rain on your parade.... but you have the wrong drivers (unless you listed them incorrectly)

The Apex and VDM modules both use 0-10 Volt dimming, not PWM.

I would assume that Rapid would switch them out for you easily enough.

When it gets time for setup, I am more than willing to help out.

 

Thanks JonJon

I had a typo in my OP, I am using the Meanwell ELN-60-48D

Mean Well ELN-60-48D dimmable driver - Rapid LED

 

Ah... great to hear. In that case, it is super easy to do.

It only starts to get complicated when you want to add randomized cloud and storm simulations.

 

I thought you couldn't do that with the Rapid Kits, but that would be kinda cool to have.

 

bio cube ... you will love the apex its a great product. their customer service is also tops. when i had a problem i couldn't figure out i called them they walked me threw it.

 

Have you seen this guide yet... it's the end all be all of apex set up and programming

I got your PM and will work on some ideas on how all you can use it. Pink4miss is dead on with her advice so far. I would also suggest to anyone who gets an apex to sign up for the free service from www.reeftronics.org. Much better graphing tool and long term tracking.

The new app from neptune on iphone is weird (exactly the same as aquanotes anyhow,) it doesn't work if any of your outlets have the exact same name. The aquanotes app is still great though.

 

No, I haven't seen that site yet. I'll sign up and look into it. I appreciate all of your help!
