Using this, I was able to make minor adjustments to the ozone generator’s output level, which eventually brought that six days, down to two days.


I was able to watch the daily, even hourly, ORP increments and see that it took almost six days for my ORP to reach 305 again, practically the length of time between water changes. The apex pegged my ORP level after a water change, showing an abrupt drop from 305 down to 264.
APEX LOGS GENERATOR
For example, I wanted to chart the ORP of my aquarium after a water change, and gauge how long it takes my ozone generator to bring that ORP back over 300, under the generator’s current setting. It fully automates an aquarium log, with detailed tracking and graphing. apex records and graphs this data, and computes a low, high and average figure for each parameter. If you’re using a kit that requires reporting the amount of reagent left, simply type the remaining amount in apex Fusion and it assigns the appropriate value.įor someone like me, prone to losing test kit instructions and color charts, this is a very handy feature. Fusion does this for every test kit it supports. Selecting the color automatically assigns the appropriate nitrate value. I can simply compare the test color, to a color chart built-into apex fusion. When I take a nitrate measurement at the computer, I don’t need to have the color chart with me. For example, I use Nyos’ test kits for almost everything. The exciting part, is that apex automatically tallies totals based on drop numbers, reagent used or final test color. Salifert, Nyos and a handful of others are included. Clicking one allows you to select a parameter and test kit brand. C, for calcium, KH for alkalinity, so on and so forth. In the upper right hand corner of Fusion are quick links, for inputting test data. What you may not be aware of, is that apex Fusion also lets you input data from liquid test kits.
APEX LOGS HOW TO
Most apex users know how to easily access this information in Fusion. This includes ph, temperature, conductivity, ORP, PAR and flow rate, if you’re using a WAV. The system automatically tracks and graphs data for any probe/sensor attached to it. If you’re an apex user, accessing Fusion’s logging capabilities is easy. Without a doubt, for apex users, Fusion’s built in tracking and logging feature works the best, and Neptune’s included some cool, third party information to enhance it. From the Reef Log iOS app (which was designed by a guy from my hometown) on up to Aquatic Log’s social aquarium log website. Over the past few years, I’ve turned to several aquarium logging websites and smart phone apps, in order to log and track data surrounding my aquarium’s water quality. When this is combined with advanced products, such as Neptune’s PAR meter or WAV circulation pump, what you have is a way to record outside information, and created detailed reports about aquarium conditions, and their effects on your livestock. Hidden beyond control of aquarium devices, and monitoring of parameters, is perhaps the best aquarium log and data tracking system available to aquarists.

This is the most prominent feature of the Apex, and Apex Fusion has compiled a slick web interface with Neptune’s signature hardware. When aquarists talk about the Neptune Apex, we often focus on the hardware and how it controls our equipment.
